Assembly Instructions
Checking the Kit for Completeness:
Your appliance garage should contain the following:
1. One face frame with the tambour door and track system pre mounted and mortised to receive the end
panels.
2. One left and one right end panel with a wooden cleat on the bottom edge of each, for securing the pan-
els to the countertop.
Note: Your appliance garage unit is supplied unfinished. It is recommended that you lightly sand and finish as
desired prior to installation.
Measuring and Cutting End Panels:
Your appliance garage kit is manufactured with the left and right end panels higher than the face frame. This
allows the end panels to fit up under the lip edge of your upper cabinet.
1. Measure the distance between the underside of the upper cabinets to the countertop. This measure-
ment will be the height of the end panels. If the end panel is longer than this measurement, the end
panels will have to be cut down to fit. IMPORTANT: Cut the end panels from the top edge. This is the
edge without the wooden cleat.
2. If the countertop has a back splash, the bottom back edge of each end panel (this is the edge without
the tenon) must be cut out to fit this contour. Use a fine-tooth saw for this purpose.
3. Measure the back lip of the underside of your upper cabinets. Cut a notch in the back edge of each end
panel to conform to this contour.
Measuring and Cutting the Face Frame:
1. The face frame, with the pre mounted tambour door, is designed to fit flush with the bottom lip of the
upper cabinet. The face frame comes with a wood strip stapled to the bottom of the stiles for stability
during shipping. This strip is to be removed before installation.
2. Measure the distance between the bottom lip of the upper cabinet and the countertop. This measure-
ment will be the height of the face frame. Cut the stiles on the BOTTOM EDGE of the face frame to this
measurement using a fine-tooth saw.
Setting the Unit in Position:
1. Place the right and left end panels up under the lip of the upper cabinet. Exact positioning is not impor-
tant at this time.
2. Position the face frame so that the tenon of the left end panel aligns with the mortise in the face frame
and press the joint together. Do the same with the right end panel. Position the face frame under the
lip of the upper cabinet and check the alignment of the unit.
3. The end panels are designed to be secured to the countertop by running screws through the wooden
cleats and at the top by piloting holes through the end frames and screwing them into the lip of the
upper cabinet. (If the lip of the upper cabinet does not align with the end panels, it may be necessary
to attach blocks to the underside of the upper cabinets for that purpose). Mark the location of two pilot
holes.
4. Mark the location of the anchor holes in the countertop by scribing through the pre drilled holes in the
wood cleats.
5. Remove the unit and drill the pilot holes in the countertop and end panels.
6. Place a small bead of wood glue on the tenon edge of the left and right panels. Place them under the
lip of the cabinets and press the face frame and end panels together. Use wood screws to attach the
unit to the countertop and upper cabinet lip.
