Extra storage for the AF990
On the AF990 (ours is an ’05 model) there is 5” from the back of the battery box to the front of the cabinet face frame which makes a useful shelf. I knocked the filler panel, below the drawers to the right of the stove, out. That leaves room for a 13 x 11.5 x 5 inch shelf.
I built a shelf from some scrap ¼ “ oak plywood and solid ¾ x 3/4 oak to fit snugly into the opening and stained it to match the cabinets.
The stain on the wood (Ipswitch Pine) matched the cabinet face frames. In the photo the drawers look a lot more yellow that they do with the eye. It actually matches quite well.
It’s held in with a single screw on either side.
Extra storage is always usable.
