NOTE: If the upper cabinet has a frame around it, trim the template edges so that it fits inside the frame, against the upper cabinet bottom. The template has trim lines to use as guides.

4.Make sure the 8³⁄₄" (22.2 cm) dimension from the rear wall to points “D,” “E” and “H” on the template is maintained.
