Mounting Instructions
1. Prepare cabinet.
A. To prevent anything from breaking, remove items from
the above the cabinet where the Spacemaker™ will be
mounted.
B. Clean the underside of the cabinet to remove any
residue.
2. Cut out the Mounting Guide and Screw Guide,
A. Cut out the guides on the lines indicated.
3. Position Mounting Guide on underside of cabinet.
A. Position the Mounting Guide on the underside of cabinet
at least 1- 1 ⁄
4
inches back from the cabinet’s front edge.
This will make the front of the TV almost flush with the
cabinet.
B. Position the Mounting Guide in the desired location and
tape it to the bottom of the cabinet. Be sure it is on a flat
surface free from any glue lumps or other bumps.
Note: Some kitchen cabinets have front overhangs as shown here.
If the thickness of the overhang exceeds 1-
1 ⁄
4
inches, tape the
Mounting Guide as close to the cabinet’s front edge as possible.
4. Drill holes in cabinet.
• Drill 1 ⁄
4
-inch diameter holes through the underside of the cabi-
net bottom using the four circles of the Mounting Guide as a
guide.
5. Remove Mounting Guide and drill shavings.
Remove the Mounting Guide and clean the drill shavings from
inside and under the cabinet.
6. Select spacers if required.
A. Spacers slip over the ends of the screws and allow you to
mount the TV below the edge of the cabinet’s overhang.
If your cabinet does not have an overhang, you probably
will not need to use any spacers.
If your cabinet has an overhang, select the proper length spacer(s)
so the bracket will clear the overhang

Mounting Your Spacemaker™
Follow the instructions below if you want to mount your
Spacemaker™ under a cabinet.
Required Tools
• Ruler or Tape Measure
• Masking Tape
• Scissors
• Phillips Screwdriver
• Drill and
1 ⁄
4
” Drill Bit
• Drill Countersink Attachment (Optional)
Mounting Considerations
• Make sure the bottom of the cabinet you select is strong enough
to hold the Spacemaker™.
• Allow adequate room on both sides of the Spacemaker™ to
allow proper ventilation and access to control knobs.
• Mount your Spacemaker™ near an AC power outlet so the
power cord will reach it.
• The area directly below your Spacemaker™ should not be used
for cooking or by appliances that generate heat or steam.
• Select an area as far away as possible from large metal appli-
ances such as refrigerator, ovens, etc.
• Hold the Spacemaker™ in various locations while you think
through what will be the most convenient location in your
kitchen. Keep in mind your normal work pattern, especially
your use of other electrical countertop appliances.
• Before mounting, turn set on to check the AM radio reception
in the location you’ve selected.
Helpful Hints:
• You may want to start the drill holes with a nail or an awl.
• Splintering will be reduced if you place masking tape above the
hole locations on the inside of the cabinet.
• Be sure to hold the drill firmly against the cabinet to reduce
“walking” of the drill bit from the markings.
• If you have a countersink attachment for your drill and if you
are drilling through a wood cabinet, you may wish to counter-
sink the drilled holes from the inside of the cabinet. This will
eliminate the use of washers and allow the screw heads to be
flush with the floor of your cabinet. If you cannot countersink
the holes, use the washers that are supplied.
CAUTION: Check thickness of shelf before attempting to
countersink holes. Minimum thickness should be at least
1 ⁄
4
”
( 3 ⁄
8
” or more preferred).
