Counter Top Brace to Wall
Figure 6
Cut
two 34"-long braces from 1 x 3 lumber.
Place each brace against the corner wall so its top exactly matches
the Base Cabinet Level Line. Use appropriate screws (not included)
to fasten into wall studs.
Attach Base Corner Cabinet
Place Base Corner Cabinet into corner. Measure so each edge of Face
Frame is 36" away from the opposite corner. When installed,
the back of the Base Corner Cabinet will not touch the wall.
Place Face Frame of one adjacent cabinet against the Face Frame
of the Base Corner Cabinet.
Clamp the two cabinets together, but do not drill. Adjust so their
Face Frames align at the top and at front edges.
Before attaching second cabinet, shim back of the Base Corner Cabinet
if necessary.
Clamp second cabinet Face Frame to the Face Frame of the Base Corner
Cabinet.
With cabinets in final position, shim so they match the Base Cabinet
Level Line, the Face Frames are flush and plumb.
Predrill through Face Frame into adjacent cabinets.
Fasten with provided screws.

Cabinet Completion
Attach
Remaining Cabinets
Attach remaining cabinets, following the steps in Attachment Tips
for Base Cabinets.
- If
the installation involves a corner, layout the corner cabinet
first. If there is no corner, start at an obstructed end that
begins at a wall or appliance.
Mark the width of the first cabinet on the floor and wall in this
location. Use a level to draw a line vertically between the floor
and the top of the Base Cabinet Level
Line.

This cabinet can be reversed from left-mounted hinge to right-mounted
hinge. To prevent marring of frames, Shipping Spacers are placed
under both hinges. If door is to remain hinged left, remove and
discard Shipping Spacers by loosening screws, pull-out spacer and
re-tighten screws.
To
reverse hinging, remove screws that hold hinges to the left Face
Frame. Remove and discard the Shipping Spacers placed behind the
hinges.
Flip door end-for-end and attach hinges to the predrilled holes
on the right Face Frame.
A package of hole plugs is provided to cover unused mounting holes
in the Face Frame. Press plugs into unused holes.
