2. Using a stud finder, locate the wall stud to be used for mounting. Stud should be located as close to the center of cabinet as possible.
3. Locate the existing wiring or other utilities in the wall to prevent drilling into or severing a wire or other utility during installation.
4. Determine the desired location has adequate clearance for ironing. Door opens approximately 180°. Allow at least 16" from side of cabinet for
door to swing open.

5. Using a 3/16", drill bit pre-drill a pilot hole into the wall stud where the cabinet will be attached to the wall taking care that the installation height is as
desired.
6. Determine the proper mounting screw location inside cabinet so mounting position is located on wall stud as intended. Location for mounting screw
should be as close to the center of the cabinet as possible.
7. Using a 1/4" drill bit, pre-drill hole in the upper and lower cross braces located inside the cabinet as determined in the previous step taking care that
the holes in both braces are drilled to same measurement.
8. Partially start mounting #14 x 3 1/2" screw into upper cross brace for installation of ironing center.
9. If installing an electrical model, please review Electrical Instructions now. If installing a non-electrical model, do not install your own electrical outlet
inside cabinet. Warranty voided if independent electrical outlet installed within non-electrical ironing center cabinet.
10. Begin installation by carefully lifting the ironing center into position.
11. Attach cabinet to wall by fully inserting the screw in the upper cross brace into the pre-drilled hole in the wall stud.
12. Plumb and level the cabinet. Shim if necessary. Tighten cabinet to wall by fully turning installation screw.
13. Insert second #14 x 3 1/2" screw into pre-drilled hole in bottom brace of cabinet and attach to wall making sure cabinet remains level and square.
14. Decorative trim may be added to cover any irregularity on wall.
Recommendation: On all adjustable swivel models, locate side ironing board brackets that are secured to the cabinet with three screws each. Remove
the top screw only from each side bracket. Use this location to pre-drill pilot holes into trim. Insert into the two pre-drilled holes in each side bracket
#14 x 1" screws (not included.)
