Select the Mounting Location and Method
•
When choosing the right place to install your cabinet, be sure to check the location of
your power source. The power cord that comes with your cabinet is 98" long.
•
Your cabinet can be wall-mounted to wood wall studs, or bolt it to a countertop. If
you're installing to wood wall studs, go to Option 1. If you're installing into drywall,
go to Option 2. If you're bolting to a countertop, go to Option 3. The cabinet also
comes with cushioned feet; use them if you're placing your cabinet on a flat surface.
See Installing Feet for installation instructions.
Option 1: Wall-mount to Wood Wall Studs
This is a two-person step.
1
Locate wall studs for mounting. Mounting holes should be centered on studs. Top
holes should be 2.75" below desired location of top of cabinet.
2
Mark holes spaced 13.25" apart vertically and 16" apart horizontally. Hole locations
should be centered on studs. Using a 1/8" drill bit, drill pilot holes approximately
1-1/2" deep (all 4 holes).
1-1/2"
3
For upper mounting holes: using a Hex screw driver, install 1-5/8" long screws,
leaving approximately 1/4" of space between screw head and wall.

Align the cabinet's top mounting holes with the upper screws, then lower cabinet
onto screws.
5
From inside of the cabinet and using a Hex screw driver, install 1-5/8" long screws in
lower mounting holes.
6
Tighten all 4 screws.
Option 2: Wall-mount to Drywall
1
Determine the installation point for your cabinet. While one person holds the
cabinet frame up to the wall, the other marks the height of the top of the cabinet.
Measure down 2.75" to determine the position of the screws. Use a level to make
sure the marks are level. Reference the mounting hole pattern from Option 1.
2
Drill 1/2" diameter hole at the mounting point.
3
Insert a Toggler into one hole, metal end first.
4
Pull the plastic ring end so the metal channel rests flush behind the wall. With your
other hand, slide the plastic cap along the straps until the flange of the cap is flush
with the wall.
