installation - 70CM

Method 2: Housing unit with internal height less than 710mm

Note: You will not need the 2 side trims (687mm long) or the appliance runners for this installation. You will need the 2 runners to fix to the adjacent cabinets.

Before you start;

Before removing the bottom shelf or modifying the housing unit, make sure that it will remain structurally sound, eg; by fixing to adjacent cabinets, floor or worktop.

You may have to cut into or remove any rear cross members to obtain the 550mm minimum depth.

To obtain the required 710mm height, you may have to lower or remove the bottom shelf - remove any cross rails and reposi- tion brackets.

To fix the runners (if required)

1.Take the side trims, hold it against the side of the base unit, and use it to mark off the 687mm from the top edge of the side unit, to the top edge for the runner.

Note: This ensures a 5 - 8mm clearance from the underside of the worktop to the top of the appliance.

2.Measure 50mm from the front edges of the base units, to mark the front edge for the runners.

3.Take 6 of the No 8 x 12mm (Black)

chipboard screws and screw the runners into position the right way up as shown.

4.If necessary, adjust the height of the plinth to just below the bottom edge of the runners.
