clean the underside of the cabinet to remove any grease residue which might be present.
We recommend the unit be mounted at the front edge of the cabinet.
Important:
• The installation of the unit under a cabinet should only be carried out by a qualified
technician.
• For secure mounting, the screws must go into the radio to a depth of at least 3/8”. If the
overall length from the bottom of the cabinet shelf to the bottom of the over hand is
more the 1-3/4”. Then a wood shim will be necessary. A shim can be made from a sheet
of plywood, using the Template to located the central lines for drilling the 1/4” mounting
holes; the shim can be located between the cabinet shelf bottom and spacers. Make sure
the wood is at least as thick as the exces over 1-3/4” if a shim is necessary, longer screws
are required. Longer screws (Type#10-32) are available at most local hardware stores
Cut out the template on the line indicated. The template size and the screw hold positions
are identical to the top of the Clock radio.
