CABINET INSTALLATION(continued)

1. Consult the table at the end of this instruction manual to determine the appropriate cutout dimensions for the Aspire Outdoor cabinet product you are installing. The cutouts should be square at all corners for proper fitment of the cabinet. The installer will have to build up any internal structural elements or supports in the island in order to secure the cabinet in place. Stainless steel hardware (not included) is highly recommended.

2. Slide the frame into the opening and check for proper alignment. Secure the frame to the structural members of your island using the various available mounting holes in the frame, and inside the cabinet itself. Use at least 2 screws per side.
