Before You Begin

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Select 500 lb (227 kg) load bearing 5/16″ lag bolts with a length to clear obstacles in the wall and 5/16″ washers. Calculate proper lag bolt length by adding the following: 1-1/2″ (38 mm) backing material + wallboard thickness + back rail thickness.

IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage. Do not modify the vanity. Doing so will compromise structural stability.

NOTICE: Siliconized acrylic caulk must be used to secure a sink or countertop to the vanity. Do not use 100% silicone sealant which will damage the ﬁnish of the vanity.

NOTICE: Any electrical accessory components must be connected to a circuit protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD). Follow all local electrical codes.

Your product may appear different than the one illustrated. The installation procedures remain the same.

Observe all local building codes. Two people should install this product. Secure the vanity to stud framing. When possible, provide 2x6

bracing behind the ﬁnished wall for additional support. This vanity is designed to allow most base moldings to pass

behind the vanity. To ease installation, remove drawers from the vanity before

beginning. Refer to the section in this guide for proper removal.

3. Preparation

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. To properly support the weight of the vanity and sink, secure to stud framing or 2x6 bracing behind the ﬁnished wall.

If installing 2x6 bracing, front-notch the studs 1-1/2″ (38 mm) to ensure the bracing sits ﬂush against the studs. The bracing

should span the length of the vanity.

Plan for routing supply and drain piping for your desired sink installation.

Plan for electrical service if installing the optional electrical strip. Any electrical accessory components must be connected to a circuit protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD).

NOTICE: To ensure proper support and alignment: The ﬁnished wall must be straight and plumb. The ﬂoor must be ﬂat and perpendicular to the ﬁnished wall.

Complete the ﬁnished wall.

5. Secure the Vanity

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Drill the lag bolt pilot holes in the ends of the back rail to provide maximum support and to prevent ﬂexing of the unit.

Wall-hung vanity only: Using 2x4 lumber, create a temporary support that is 14-3/4″ (375 mm) in height and spans the width of the vanity.

With assistance, lift and place the vanity in position against the ﬁnished wall.

Verify the vanity is level and plumb against the wall. Wall-hung vanity only: Place shims under the temporary support

to adjust the unit as needed. Vanity with legs only: Turn the leveler(s) to adjust the unit as

needed. Using a 1/4″ drill bit, drill a pilot hole at each end of the back

rail and into the ﬁnished wall. The holes should align with the 2x6 bracing or stud framing.

Drill a pilot hole at each stud location between the two end holes.

Care and Cleaning

For best results, keep the following in mind when caring for your KOHLER product:

•

Blot spills immediately with a soft, damp cloth.

Do not expose wood furniture to direct sunlight, drying heat sources, or dampness.

•

Protect wood surfaces by using felt, leather or cork under accessories. Never slide objects across wood surfaces.

•

Dust frequently with a soft cloth in the direction of the grain.
