Safety:

To ensure safe and proper installation, uninstallation or reinstallation, the Söol Fit™ owner “Buyer” must have two

Installers perform installation following the instructions provided.

- Take all lifting precautions and use proper body mechanics throughout entire installation

process, including when moving and lifting any assembly or carton. Always use two Installers

to lift and maneuver frame assembly during installation.

- An unsecured Söol Fit™ frame is a tip hazard. Use extreme caution when frame assembly is in

upright position and always have an assistant Installer securely hold frame until

bolted/anchored securely and completely to the wall, failure to do so can cause serious injury

or death.

- Installer must provide and ensure proper bolts/anchors are used to secure the struts based on

wall type, failure to do so may allow the Söol Fit™ to dislodge from wall and cause serious

injury or death.

- NEVER disassemble or modify the original factory configured Söol Fit™. It may cause serious

injury or death.

- Failure to properly locate the center of each wall stud can lead to an insecure installation and

may cause severe injury or death.

Layout Strut Location and Find Studs:

1) On the wall, mark the center line of

mounting location to define its position.

Note: Verify side to side door swing clearance is

80-3/4 inches.

2) On the center line, mark the lower strut

height of 14-7/16 inches from the floor. Then

mark the upper strut height of 81-11/16

inches from the floor.

3) Using a level, extend the strut height lines,

(lower and upper), 25-1/2 inches to either side

of the center.

4) Locate center of each wall stud along the

lower and upper strut height line using a stud

finder.

Mount Upper and Lower Struts:

1) Drill the appropriate hole for the

bolt/anchor to be used at the center of each

wall stud as laid out.

Note: Installer must select and provide the

proper bolt/anchor type necessary to secure

the struts to the wall.

Note: A minimum of 3 bolts/anchors are

required for each strut.

2) Bolt upper and lower struts to wall.

Note: keep struts centered on layout lines as

bolts/ anchors are tightened.

Note: In some cases, the strut may need to be

rotated 180° for cutouts, in strut, to align with

holes in wall and align with center.

WARNING

Perform Wall Prep/Trim Removal as Needed:

1) Verify base molding does not protrude from the wall more than 1/2”.

Note: The Söol Fit™ Cabinet mounts 1/2” from the wall surface.

2) If molding protrudes

more than 1/2 in from wall

surface it will need to be

trimmed prior to mounting

frame.

a) For Wood Cabinet

trim at 26-7/16

inches to both sides

of the center line.

b) For Metal Cabinet

trim at 26 inches to

both sides of the

center line.

Mount Frame to Struts:

- An unsecured Söol Fit™ frame is a tip hazard. Use extreme caution when frame assembly is in

upright position and always have an assistant Installer securely hold frame until Installer

bolts/anchors frame securely and completely to the wall; failure to do so can cause serious

injury or death.

- All strut nuts must be fully seated in the vertical position.

- A torque wrench must be used to tighten strut screws to the manufacturer’s minimum torque,

failure to do so could allow frame to become dislodged from the wall and cause serious injury

or death.

1) Prior to applying rubber pads to frame, verify

floor is square to wall.

a) If square to wall, apply pads in locations as

shown.

b) If not square, add or remove pads in

locations shown so frame is level to the

wall.

Note: Ensure front corner mounting pads are firmly

touching floor to ensure proper weight transfer.

2) Prior to moving frame against the struts,

pre-assemble screws, washers, square washers and

strut nuts to the upper and lower frame -

(6 locations).

Note: Only thread screws partially into strut nuts to

allow proper engagement of strut nuts to strut.

3) Move frame up to struts and position all strut nuts in horizontal

position, then move frame against strut channels so all strut nuts

engage into channel.

4) Assemble screws (Item # 28), washers (Item # 29), and nuts (Item

# 30) through frame into upper strut bracket.

Note: Verify outside edge of frame aligns with ends of strut channels

prior to tightening screws

5) Torque all twelve screws (Item # 28) to 6 - 8 ft/lbs (Strut

manufacturer’s recommended torque).
