notches. Measure in from the side of the shelf to the top of the
keyhole notches. Record these measurements on the wall, using the
marks in step 1 as a guide. Align the two measurements until they
intersect. This is the insertion point of the mounting hardware. Use
a carpenter's level to ensure the shelf will be level.

3. For stud mounting, skip to step 4. For drywall mounting, drill a 3/16"
hole in the wall at the insertion points. Press the plastic anchors (A)
into the holes and gently tap with a hammer until the flange of the
anchor is against the wall.

4. 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.

For stud mounting, use screws only.

5. Align keyhole notches over the screw heads.

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