Installation

1. First measure the distance between the back of

unit side and the wall. If this distance is less than

3-3/4", the width of the side trim pieces will need

adjusted appropriately. The minimum gap distance

the trim kit can be used for is 5/8".

2. Measure height of area requiring trim piece (see

Figure 2). If this measurement is a distance from

oor to ceiling, reduce total height by 1/8" for

clearance installation purposes when installing trim

piece. Record total trim height measurement for

future use in process.

3. Place two (2) 72" side trim pieces paint textured

side down on large at work area and clean primer

metal surface with rubbing alcohol pad or non-

residue cleaner. This will help adhesive tape bond

to metal surface.

4. Align trim pieces together so ends are ush with

both sides parallel (see Figure 3). Remove adhesive

tape from back of connector plate. Apply connector

plate to cleaned, primered surface while ensuring

trim piece ends are ush. Apply adequate pressure

to area to form bond.

5. Measure and mark total trim height measurement

on primer side of piece. Using sheet metal cutting

tool, remove excess metal trim from one end.

6. Cut black rubber edge guard piece to total trim

height measurement. Apply edge guard to trim

assembly on “non-offset” side of part with rubber

wiper facing down while trim piece is resting on

the work surface painted textured side down.

7. Prepare I-TEC® Series unit back corner by cleaning

surface with alcohol pad or non-residue cleaner

and cleaning cloth.

8. Take completed side trim assembly to unit

installation and remove adhesive backing. Attach

trim assembly ush with unit back corner using

edge of offset as a guide (see Figure 4). Apply

adequate pressure to form bond between trim

assembly and unit side.

9. Repeat process for side trim assembly and

installation on opposite rear corner of I-TEC® Series

unit.
