Trim with precision to avoid cutting too large a space, or leave some measurement of tolerance and plan on making an
additional, or final trim, after fit checking (see further down). Always have the sink/appliance on hand before making any
alterations.
When trimming is needed:
Make cutout opening alterations prior to installing cabinet, including those needed for plumbing/electrical, in the back and floor
of the cabinet.
Note that when trimming, it will be easier to trim the inner 2" stile insert on each side, by removing them first. These are held in
place with 2 screws.
Installing cabinet:
Mark all stud locations on wall prior to installation. Position the cabinet without sink/cooktop in it. For sinks, the cabinet will
be lifted up over the plumbing and set in place. Ensure electrical outlets/plumbing is accessible at back/floor of cabinet. Align
cabinet face with your sink. Use level, and check for plumb of cabinet, using shims where necessary. Use #8 x 2" cabinet
screws to attach sink/cooktop base to neighboring base cabinet through face frames. If the cabinet placement isn't aligned to
wall studs, use anchor bolts to secure cabinet to the wall.
Once cabinet is anchored and level, follow manufacturer's instructions for installing sink/cooktop unit, including their
attachment method for the appliance to the cabinet.
Follow all sink/cooktop manufacturer's recommendations for the final anchoring of the sink/cooktop to the cabinet itself, and

CAUTION!
With material removed, when trimmed stiles are re-installed, check to make sure
screws are not too large or long, ensuring they DO NOT protrude to the outside of
the cabinet.

to avoid damaging the edges of the vinyl.
All alterations should be done to your cabinet, and the size of your sink/appliance
tested, prior to anchoring cabinet to the wall/floor, and to adjoining cabinets.
Build a support structure:
Sinks/cooktops usually require further support bracing. See the sink/appliance
manufacturer's recommendations.
