Before you install your Storage Cabinet, you need to
prepare your site for installation. Carefully examine the
location where you intend to install the Storage
Cabinet. You must be certain that the area is level and
of solid construction. In addition, your Storage Cabinet
should be adjacent to a vent connection to allow for
venting to the exterior of the building, if so desired.
Otherwise, it is typical to vent the Storage Cabinet
through the work surface and fume hood, which is
supported by the Storage Cabinet.
Space Requirements
Refer to Appendix A: Storage Cabinet Dimensions for
complete Storage Cabinet dimensional specifications.
