3.Rotate the filler strip to determine the filler strip depth that best fills the gap.
4.Align the filler strip edge to the back of the countertop cutout and the countertop cutout sides. To keep the filler strip straight, check that the back edge of the filler strip is flush to the back wall of the countertop cutout.

It is recommended to mount the filler strip flush to the countertop but it is not necessary.
2.Determine the approximate gap between the back of the countertop cutout and slide-in range by measuring the distance from the back of the countertop cutout to the front of the countertop and subtracting 22³⁄ " (57.8 cm) from the total.

5.Place the mounting brackets on each corner of the bottom side of the selected filler strip depth. Use a pair of pliers to fold the lower end tab of the bracket at the notch so that the tab acts as a support for the bottom edge of the filler strip.
For 2¹⁄ " (57 mm) and 2 ⁄ " (67 mm) depths, the bracket end tab should be folded at a 90° angle.
For 1¹⁄ " (38 mm) depth, the bracket end tab should be folded at a 45° angle.
NOTE: If the bracket is not flush to the side of the cabinet, use a piece of wood to fill the gap. A longer screw may be needed.
If the depth determined is 1¹⁄ " (38 mm), the brackets should be attached on the 2 ⁄ " (67 mm) side. If the depth determined is 2¹⁄ " (57 mm), the brackets should be attached on the
2 ⁄ " (67 mm) side. If the depth determined is 2 ⁄ " (67 mm), the bracket should be attached on the 2¹⁄ " (57 mm) side.
