NOTICE: Position a thin piece of cardboard on the finished surface of the whirlpool before clamping the
plywood in place. Make sure the clamps do not make direct contact with the finished surface of the
whirlpool. This will reduce the risk of damaging the surface of the whirlpool.
Set a thin piece of cardboard on the finished surface of the whirlpool rim. Position the plywood on
the bottom of the rim, and carefully clamp the plywood in place. Make sure the clamps are in
contact with the cardboard, not the finished surface of the whirlpool.
Carefully drill the faucet holes to the size required by the faucet manufacturer. Remove the clamps
and cardboard.
Install the faucet to the rim and plywood according to the faucet manufacturer's instructions.
