2. Minimum inside dimension - 17.4 in. (44.1 cm)

3. Depth - 24 in. (61 cm) or 12 in. (30.5 cm) minimum

10. Check to see whether the ironing station is level by placing a

level against the front face and top shelf of the unit.

NOTE: Shim the bottom of the unit to make the top of the unit reach the underside of the top cabinet shelf. If it is not level, correct by further shimming.

11. Mount the unit to the top shelf using three #12 x 1¹⁄₂ in.

Phillips screws in a triangular pattern. When screwing the screws into the top shelf, screw in the two front screws first. When they are in place, screw in the third screw.

12. Mount the unit to the bottom shelf using two #12 x 1¹⁄₂ in.

Phillips screws.

13. Use the exterior mounted hinges to allow the door to swing at

a wider angle and to allow the board to swivel. NOTE: Swiveling of the board may be restricted depending

on the type of door hinge used.

The ironing station unit extends into the room approximately 7¹⁄₂ in. (19.1 cm).

1. Determine the desired ironing board height above the floor

using the chart in the “Location Requirements” section. Care should be taken to ensure the unit will be mounted at the ironing board height desired.

2. Using a stud finder, locate the wall studs to be used for

mounting.

3. Locate the existing wiring in the wall to prevent drilling into or

severing a wire or other hidden utilities during drilling.
