using the two holes in the Base Pan front flange as your guide
(center the drill in the base holes keeping the front flange
centered and tight against the cabinet front wall).
Slide the two Rear Holddown Brackets (7) from the rear into
the slots in the Base Pan. The tongues of the Rear Holddown
Brackets should be sticking into the base, be centered in the slot,
and be into the slot as far as it will go. Mark and drill four 3/32"
diameter holes. Mount the Rear Holddown Brackets using four
Screws (B). Both Rear Holddown Bracket tongues should now be
centered in the slotted holes in the base and be into the base as
far as they can go.
Remove the two screws in the Base Pan front flange and slide the
Base Pan straight out.
