To install the BLACK+DECKER CO100B Spacemaker Can Opener, follow the mounting instructions provided in the manual. Here are the step-by-step instructions:
1. Clear the countertop under the installation area to avoid getting dust or debris on other appliances or items. Open cabinets and remove contents to make mounting easier.
2. Clean both the underside and topside of the bottom panel of the cabinet.
3. Decide whether you will be drilling from the top down or from the bottom up.
- If drilling from the bottom up:
- With cabinet doors open, place the mounting template against the surface of the front edge of your cabinet. Align the thick line on the template (labeled "cabinet front edge") with the lower front edge of your cabinet.
- Fold the balance of the template up along the underside of your cabinet, ensuring the "cabinet front edge" line remains aligned with the bottom front cabinet edge.
- Make sure the template is smooth and flush against the cabinet's underside. Pull the template tight and tape it down to hold in place.
- If drilling from the top down:
- With cabinet doors open, place the mounting template against the surface of the front edge of your cabinet. Align the thick line on the template (labeled "cabinet front edge") with the upper front edge of your cabinet.
- Fold the balance of the template over into the inside of your cabinet, ensuring the "cabinet front edge" line remains aligned with the upper front cabinet edge.
- Make sure the template is smooth and flush against the cabinet's inside. Pull the template tight and tape it down to hold it in place.
4. Using a 1/32" drill bit, drill from the underside of the cabinet up or the top down, creating pilot holes through the 4 holes marked on the template. This will help guide the 1/4" drill bit in the next step.
5. Switch to a 1/4" drill bit and drill straight up or straight down through the holes that have just been created.
6. Once holes are drilled, remove the tape and mounting template.
7. Wipe dust and debris off the top side and the underside of the cabinet surface.
8. Place a washer inside the cabinet over each of the 4 holes you drilled.
9. Determine what size screws to use by placing a xxxx through the hole in the cabinet without the appliance in place. The xxxx should be 1/2" exposed underneath the cabinet to ensure the appliance is properly attached to the cabinet.
10. Place one of the screws through each of the washers covering the holes in the cabinet, from the inside of the cabinet down.
11. Hold the appliance up to the screws, aligning the front of the appliance with the front edge of the cabinet base. The front of the can opener DOES NOT include the cover, as indicated on the mounting template. Make sure there will be enough room to lift the can opener lever when the cover is open. The screws in the cabinet should align with the mounting holes in the appliance.
12. Screwing from inside the cabinet down into the appliance holes, use your drill or screwdriver to tighten the four screws in place.
13. Pull out the cord from cord storage behind the appliance and plug it into a standard electrical outlet. Extra cord can be fed back into storage or hung over the cord management hook behind the appliance.
14. Your Spacemaker Can Opener is now ready for use!
