Mounting Instructions

1. Prepare cabinet. A. To prevent anything from breaking, remove items from

the above the cabinet where the Spacemaker™ will be mounted.

B. Clean the underside of the cabinet to remove any

residue.

2. Cut out the Mounting Guide and Screw Guide, A. Cut out the guides on the lines indicated.

3. Position Mounting Guide on underside of cabinet. A. Position the Mounting Guide on the underside of cabinet

at least 1-

⁄4 inches back from the cabinet’s front edge. This will make the front of the TV almost flush with the cabinet.

B. Position the Mounting Guide in the desired location and

tape it to the bottom of the cabinet. Be sure it is on a flat surface free from any glue lumps or other bumps.

Note: Some kitchen cabinets have front overhangs as shown here. If the thickness of the overhang exceeds 1-

⁄4 inches, tape the

Mounting Guide as close to the cabinet’s front edge as possible.

4. Drill holes in cabinet.

• Drill

⁄4-inch diameter holes through the underside of the cabi- net bottom using the four circles of the Mounting Guide as a guide.

5. Remove Mounting Guide and drill shavings. Remove the Mounting Guide and clean the drill shavings from

inside and under the cabinet.

6. Select spacers if required. A. Spacers slip over the ends of the screws and allow you to

mount the TV below the edge of the cabinet’s overhang. If your cabinet does not have an overhang, you probably will not need to use any spacers.

If your cabinet has an overhang, select the proper length spacer(s) so the bracket will clear the overhang

Cabinet Overhang

Mounting Your Spacemaker™

Follow the instructions below if you want to mount your Spacemaker™ under a cabinet.

Required Tools

• Ruler or Tape Measure

• Masking Tape

• Scissors

• Phillips Screwdriver

• Drill and

⁄4” Drill Bit

• Drill Countersink Attachment (Optional)

Mounting Considerations

• Make sure the bottom of the cabinet you select is strong enough to hold the Spacemaker™.

• Allow adequate room on both sides of the Spacemaker™ to allow proper ventilation and access to control knobs.

• Mount your Spacemaker™ near an AC power outlet so the power cord will reach it.

• The area directly below your Spacemaker™ should not be used for cooking or by appliances that generate heat or steam.

• Select an area as far away as possible from large metal appliances such as refrigerator, ovens, etc.

• Hold the Spacemaker™ in various locations while you think through what will be the most convenient location in your kitchen. Keep in mind your normal work pattern, especially your use of other electrical countertop appliances.

• Before mounting, turn set on to check the AM radio reception in the location you’ve selected.

Helpful Hints:

• You may want to start the drill holes with a nail or an awl.

• Splintering will be reduced if you place masking tape above the hole locations on the inside of the cabinet.

• Be sure to hold the drill firmly against the cabinet to reduce “walking” of the drill bit from the markings.

• If you have a countersink attachment for your drill and if you are drilling through a wood cabinet, you may wish to countersink the drilled holes from the inside of the cabinet. 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 washers that are supplied.

CAUTION: Check thickness of shelf before attempting to countersink holes. Minimum thickness should be at least

⁄4”

(

⁄8” or more preferred).

Mounting Your Spacemaker™

B. Select spacers which are approximately 1⁄4” shorter than

the overhang. Two or three spacers can be used together to make length of

⁄4” to 1-3⁄4” at 1⁄4” increments.

C. While holding the Bracket and selected spacers in place

under the cabinet, check to see that the Bracket clears the overhang so the TV can be easily slid onto the Bracket or removed for portable use.

7. Select proper length of screws. A. Only four screws are needed. The size you need depends

upon your type of cabinet.

B. Holding the selected spacers for one of the screw holes

under the cabinet, install a washer and screw inside the cabinet using one of the three lengths of screws provided.

C. Use the Screw Guide you cut from the Mounting Guide

to determine if the screw is the proper length for your cabinet. (See the diagram below).

D. If the screw threads fall within the shaded area of the

Screw Guide, then the selected screw is of the proper length for mounting the Bracket.

E. If the threads end above or below the shaded area, try

one of the other screws provided. (Screw length must fall into the shaded area on the Screw Guide for proper mounting).

Note: If none of the screws provided are the proper length for your cabinet, you can do one of the following:

a)Increase the spacer length by

⁄4” and try one of the longer

screws provided.

b)Purchase proper length screws at your local hardware

store (type #10-32).

8. Position Mounting Bracket under cabinet as shown below and match the screw holes.

9. Attach Mounting Bracket to cabinet. A. First mount one corner of the Bracket. Hold the Bracket

and spacer(s) in place and insert the screw from the inside of the cabinet down through washer and drilled hole or down through countersink and drilled hole.

Note: The washers must be used on metal cabinets and on wood cabinets if you did not countersink the drilled holes.

B. Position the washer flat-side down and place screw into

screw hole, through the spacer(s), and through the screw hole in the Mounting Bracket.

C. Place a nut into the cylinder at the bottom of the

Mounting Bracket screw hole. Hold nut in place (if necessary, use the top of a pencil). While maintaining upward pressure on the Mounting Bracket, finger tighten the screw. Do not tighten firmly until all four screws have been started.

D. Align each of the remaining three Mounting Bracket

screw holes with the drilled holes and properly position the selected spacers. Install washers, screws, and nuts as previously described. Now, finish tightening the four screws but do not over-tighten them.

Mounting Your Spacemaker™

CAUTION: If the screw is too short, it will not screw into the nut far enough to securely hold the TV. If the screw is too long, it may protrude below the Bracket, and the TV will hit it when sliding onto the Bracket.
