Before you begin:

• Be careful when unpacking components. Do not use sharp objects when removing packaging material.
This may scratch the surface of trim components.

• Make sure that your rough opening is 37-1/4" wide by 80-3/4" tall (from top of flooring) by at least
24" deep from the cabinet’s front face. See CABINET ILLUSTRATIONS on next page.

• Make sure there is a large, clear area of floor (approx. 7’ by 7’) to assemble the trim kit. Place a drop
cloth over the floor to prevent scratching of the trim kit and/or floor.

• Use extreme care when handling the metal trim pieces. Corners are very sharp and easily damaged if
dropped.

Always wear Safety Glasses when working with power tools and sharp objects.

Installing Trim & Grille Assembly Into Cabinetry

1. First, place protective covering where side trim will contact the floor near rough opening. Then, stand up

the grille and frame assembly and center in rough opening. See Figure 5. You may need to use several
pieces of tape at the top corners and top center to temporarily hold the assembly in place.

2. Making sure the frame is flush up against the front surface of
cabinetry, carefully run the mounting screws (G) through the two
holes in the top trim (A) until started into the cabinetry and slightly
snug. Do not tighten at this time.

NOTE: Some cabinet substrates may require pre-drilling holes
using a 1/8” diameter drill bit.

ends of top trim (A) to cabinetry using two 3/4”
Mounting screws (G) through the holes at each end.

Care & Cleaning of Your Trim Kit

The trim and grille kit surfaces are best cleaned with a cotton cloth dampened with a mixture of water and
mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleansers as they will mar the surface of the metal components.
