• Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. To protect the finish, avoid
the use of all chemicals and household cleaners.

! For drywall mounting, use anchors with screws.

For stud mounting, use screws only.

1. Hold shelf at desired location. Use a carpenter's level to ensure the
shelf will be level. With a pencil, mark through the top of the
mounting holes. These marks are the insertion points of the mounting
hardware.

2. For stud mounting: skip to step 3. For drywall mounting: using a
Phillips head screwdriver, insert the drywall anchors (A) into the
wall at the insertion points. Press and turn clockwise until anchors
are flush with the wall.

3. Insert screws (B) into the anchors or at the insertion points, leaving
approximately 1/2" between the back of the screw head and the wall.

4. Align keyhole notches over the screw heads.

5. Slide the shelf down until it rests on the screws. Tighten or loosen
screws as needed to fit the shelf snugly against the wall.
