header or frame out must be installed above the cabinet to maintain the load bearing integrity of the
wall.
2. Position the cabinet in the wall, verifying that the backside of the cabinet frame is flush against the wall
surface.
3. Drill pilot holes at least every 12” on each side of the cabinet through the tub wall and continue drilling
through the studs.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Improper selection, installation, or use can cause personal injury or property damage. It
is solely the responsibility of the user, through its own analysis to select products suitable for their specific application
requirements, ensure they are properly maintained, and limit their use to its intended purpose. Follow proper local,
state and federal regulations for proper installation and operation requirements.

MAINTENANCE
oFire Cabinet doors should be manually operated once a year to check performance.
oLubricate moving parts such as hinges and latches with a silicone spray lube as required to
maintain a smooth opening and closing of the door. Do not overlubricate. Do not use
regular lubricating oil that can attract dust and grit.
oNon-moving parts can be cleaned with a mild soap or dishwashing detergent and water
solution.
oGaskets can be cleaned with a clean, damp, lint-free cloth. Do not apply mineral oils, vinyl
dressings, or other lubricants to the gasket as they can cause the gasket to break down over
time.
