guideline is square with the panel edges.
These measurements locate the inside
edges of each mounting bracket.
*Recommended panel size 30" x 10- 1/8"
3. Using the clearance figures in the graphic

edge of the brackets, and mark the
position of each bracket.
4. Align each bracket with your guidelines,
and attach them with the provided
screws. (See the graphic, upper left.)

Bracket Location (rear view)
This section instructs you how to attach the custom front panel to the warming-drawer face.
The panel must be at least 1/2" thick to accommodate the length of the provided screws.
IMPORTANT
Attach the brackets so that when you attach
the custom front panel to the warming-
drawer face, there is enough of a gap below
the panel to close the drawer properly.
5. Hold the custom front panel so the
brackets align with the indentations on the
drawer face, and press the panel against
the drawer face.
6. Slide the panel up so the bracket tops
engage the metal skin of the drawer face.
(This may take some effort; the brackets
should hold the panel in place; however,
take care that the panel does not fall.)
