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.
1. DETERMINE MOUNTING HEIGHT
Using the charts provided, determine
the mounting height above oor (the
distance between the oor and the
bottom of the cabinet). First choose
your desired ironing board height
from the left column, then locate the
corresponding mounting height in the
right column.

RECESSED INSTALLATION
Cut an opening into the wall based
on dimensions given below.
Attach a 2” x 4” cross support
cleat between the studs so it
is level with the bottom of the
opening. This will give support to
the drywall 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.
Remove electrical raceway by
unscrewing the top and bottom screws.
Using a 1/8” drill bit, pre-drill holes into
the sides of the cabinet, 14” from the top
and 21/2” from the back.
