Proper Safety equipment is extremely important.
Always wear safety glasses and gloves when assembling your modules.
Using proper tools will make the project much easier to do and will help you obtain a properly built project. This list is of the basic tools
you’ll need to build your modules. You may use whatever tools you deem necessary to complete your project in the easiest way possible. All
tools listed here and others you may wish to acquire can be found at Lowes®, Home Depot®, Amazon and other on-line retailers.
A cordless impact driver will make steel frame assembly easier and help protect the edges of the HardieBacker®cement board from cracking
during installation onto the frame.

1Clamp the Long Catch Track to the back Perimeter Wall of your module with Vice Clamps about where you would like
to place your appliance. (Make sure to leave enough room for the Side Burner cutout (page 29)). Make sure that the top
of the Long Catch Track is ush with the top of the Perimeter Track.
Note: If your Catch Tracks are too long for your specic module, please see page 47 for instructions on how to
properly cut your Catch Track(s) to t your module.
Add the amount of screws that match the number of studs in the back Perimeter Wall of your module.

To avoid drilling a screw into the screws already placed
in your Perimeter Wall, make sure to drill the screws next
to each stud instead of in the direct center of the stud.

Place the rst Appliance Track in-between the Countertop Studs near the back of the module. The Appliance
Track has been precut to t the width of the appliance. To best position the appliance, place one side of the Appli-
ance Track ush against the rst Countertop Stud, then readjust the second Countertop Stud to rest ush against
the other end of the Appliance Track.

Track are ush with the edges of

Measure the distance of the Appliance Track from the front Perimeter Wall Track of your module to make sure it
matches the length of the appliance that will be placed within this area. If the size is incorrect, slide the Appliance
Track forward or back along the Countertop Studs until the size between the Appliance Track and the Perimeter
Wall Track matches the length of the appliance.
Note: Add an eighth or a quarter of an inch to the size of your appliance to make sure the appliance slides in
easily.
