material must be 71″(1803 mm) from the finished floor.
Measure and mark 71″(1803 mm) up from the finished floor. This
will be the height from the finished floor to the top of the 2x6
backing material.
NOTICE: Extend the backing material beyond the width of the
cabinet to the nearest stud to ensure proper support for the cabinet.
Front-notch the studs 1-1/2″(38 mm) to ensure the 2x6 backing
material is flush against the studs.
Secure the 2x6 backing material to the studs with framing nails.
Complete the finished wall. Make sure the finished wall is
straight and plumb, and the floor is flat and perpendicular to the
finished wall.

Care and Cleaning
For best results, keep the following in mind when caring for your
KOHLER product:
Wood Surfaces
•As with any smooth surface, avoid using abrasive cleaners as
they will scratch the surface. Wipe the wood surface regularly to
prevent buildup of soap and scum.
•To protect against scratches, use felt, leather, or cork under all
items placed on the wood surface. To conceal scratches, a
touch-up marker is available for order. Contact a Kohler
distributor or call 1-800-4-KOHLER for ordering information.
•Do not expose wood furniture to direct sunlight, drying heat
sources, or dampness.
•Dust frequently with a soft cloth in the direction of the grain. Use
only products specifically made for cleaning wood. Avoid using
oily polishes or waxes, or products containing silicone. Blot spills
immediately with a soft, damp cloth.
•Every six months, remove soil buildup by rubbing with a soft
cloth dampened in a 50/50 solution of warm water and an
ammonia-free detergent. Wipe clean with a cloth dampened in
warm water, then wipe dry.
Glass and Mirrored Surfaces
•Use a mild detergent such as liquid dishwashing soap and warm
water for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners that may scratch
or dull the surface.
•Carefully read the cleaner product label to ensure the cleaner is
safe for use on the material.
•Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area
before applying to the entire surface.
•Do not allow cleaners to sit or soak on the surface.
•Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately
after cleaner application. Rinse and dry any overspray that lands
on nearby surfaces.
•Use a soft, dampened sponge or cloth. Never use an abrasive
material such as a brush or scouring pad to clean surfaces.
