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 83).

as a guide) into the frame and install three (3) #12 x 2″ long

NOTE: Alternate fasteners are required when securing the sill plate
or support brackets to material other than wood (cinder block,
brick, masonry, or concrete). These items can be purchased at
your local hardware store.
NOTE: DO NOT LEVEL the cabinet from front to back. Make sure
there is approximately

not be required. The installation must support the weight of the
