DOTTED LINE
Note:
If your cabinet has glue blocks or
other obstructions, cut out corresponding
areas on the Template to clear them. Do not
cut out or cut through the screw holes
indicated on the Template.
Note:
It is recommended that safety
glasses be worn while drilling screw holes to
prevent the possibility of eye injury.
1 / -inch diameter holes through the

underside of the cabinet bottom shelf using
the 3 points marked on the Template.
Tips:
On wooden cabinets you may want to mark
and start the drill holes with a nail or an
awl.
Be sure to hold the drill very firmly against
the cabinet to reduce "walking" of the drill
bit from the markings.
Use masking tape above the hole locations
on inside of wooden cabinet shelf to help
reduce splintering.
If installing the unit under a wood cabinet,
you may wish to countersink the drilled hole
from the INSIDE of the cabinet if a
countersink attachment for your drill is
available. This will eliminate the use of
washers and allow the screw heads to be
flush with the floor of your cabinet. If you
cannot countersink the holes, use the
supplied washers.
3. Remove Template and clean drill shavings
from inside and underside of cabinet.
4. If your cabinet does not have an
overhang, go to Step 5.
If your cabinet has an overhang, select
the spacer or combination of spacers that is
equal to or longer than the cabinet overhang.
