...the instructions are in three different languages. French, Spanish and English but I don't think English is the first language of the person who wrote the English instructions. There are two drawings. One of them shows the bolts going down thru the cabinet and into the bracket. The other shows the bolts going up thru the bracket and into the cabinet. Either way is a cluster fuzzle as if ya go up thru the bracket into the cabinet the nuts have to be on top which leaves ya with a knuckley knarley surface to sit stuff on. They provide ya with some bolts that are round head and cannot be beveled into the cabinet any sort of way so they will provide you with an equally knuckley knarley surface. They give ya two sets of bolts. One set is too short and the other is too long. Im gonna have to go to Lowes or Home Depot and get some bolts for this contraption. In addition I will need to get some of them nuts with the plastic insert so't the screws won't work themselves out whenst mz ribit is walking thru the house stomping her feets like Im really taking too long with this project.

I went to the basement while ago to see if I could find four lock washers. The first three was easy. (Haven't we heard that before). No more that will fit in the very limited space.

...to further complicate issues The vid shows the template taped to the top of the bottom cabinet shelf before hole drilling. The instructions show a bad pic of the template affixed somehow (magic I assume) to the bottom of the bottom shelf. I do not know what possible use a template taped to a part of the cabinet you cannot see would be.

...toward the end of the instructions it gives some really good advice. "Before mounting coffee maker make sure the electric cord will reach the outlet."

That may have saved someone's life this early morning.
