PRE-INSTALLATION
2. LOCATE STUDS & UTILITIES
Using a stud nder, locate the wall
studs to be used for mounting.
Locate the existing wiring or other
utilities in the wall to prevent drilling
into/severing a wire and/or other utility
during installation.

Using the charts provided, determine
the mounting height above oor (the
distance between the oor and the

your desired ironing board height
from the left column, then locate the
corresponding mounting height in the

RECESSED INSTALLATION
Cut an opening into wall using the
unit dimensions below:
143/8” x 511/4 x 37/8”
Attach a 2” x 4” cross support cleat
between the studs, level with the
bottom of the opening. This will
give support to the dry wall during
installation and to the cabinet once
installed in the wall.
Your unit will be attached to the studs
by screws in the upper and lower sides
of the cabinet.
To prepare the cabinet, pre-drill holes
with 1/8” bit into the sides of the top of
the cabinet, 14” from the top and 21/2”
from the back. Then pre-drill holes in
the sides of the bottom of the cabinet,
14” from bottom, 21/2” from back.
