STEP 6. Slide the cabinet into the hole far enough to allow the
guide-channel of the sill plate to contact the inside wall surface
(Figure 20).
STEP 7. Drill three (3) 5/32" diameter pilot holes (use the sill-plate holes
as a guide) into the frame and install three (3) #12 x 2" long
screws (Item 4) (Figure 20).

is approximately 3/8" to 1/2" slope (1/8 to 1/4 bubble on the level)
toward the outside of the house.
STEP 8. Drill two (2) 5/32" diameter pilot holes in each cabinet side
at the locations shown (Figure 20) and install four (4) #12 x
2" screws (Item 4). Provided that Step 5 (hole construction)
provides a sturdy mount with solid vertical studs, support
brackets may not be required. The installation must support
the weight of the unit plus an additional weight of 400 pounds
on the rear of the cabinet. If support brackets (Item 1) are
available, they can be installed as shown in Figure 20.
STEP 9. Complete the installation by following steps 12 through 15
