Location Requirements

You will need

■ A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. See

“Venting Requirements.”

■ A separate 15 or 20 amp circuit.

■ A grounded electrical outlet located within 5 ft. (152.4 cm) of

the drying cabinet. The drying cabinet has a 5 ft. (152.4 cm) cord located on the top of the cabinet. Locate the power outlet close enough to the top of the drying cabinet for the plug to reach the outlet without using an extension cord. The outlet should be easily accessible after the drying cabinet installation. Adjust the outlet location if the drying cabinet is installed inside custom cabinetry. See “Electrical Requirements.”

■ A sturdy floor to support the total drying cabinet weight of

123 lbs (55.8 kg).

■ A level floor with a maximum slope of 1 in. (2.5 cm) under the

entire drying cabinet.

■ Ceiling must be a minimum of 12 in. (30.5 cm) from the top of

the cabinetry (see “Installation clearances”) or from the top of the heavy metal vent if not installed in cabinetry.

■ The drying cabinet is designed for operation indoors in a dry

environment at a temperature above 32ºF (0ºC).

■ Check code requirements. Contact your local building

inspector.

Installation clearances

The location must be large enough to allow the drying cabinet door to be opened fully.

Electrical Connection

To properly install your drying cabinet, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.

■ The drying cabinet should be connected to a 120 V 60 Hz

3 prong grounded outlet.

■ The drying cabinet is ready for connection with a 5 ft.

(152.4 cm) long cable with a grounded plug. Use only the supplied cable and plug.

■ The outlet should be located for easy plug removal.

If using a replacement power supply cord, it is recommended that you use Power Supply Cord Replacement Part Number

8181928. For further information, please call the Customer Interaction Center at 1-800-253-1301. In Canada, call 1-800-461-5681.

For a grounded, cord-connected drying cabinet: This drying cabinet must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This drying cabinet is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the drying cabinet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the drying cabinet: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Venting Requirements

■ The drying cabinet should not be vented into a chimney, wall,

attic, ceiling or concealed space of a building.

■ The drying cabinet should vent into the room where the

drying cabinet is installed or into an adjacent room.

1. Venting into an adjacent room

2. Airflow in and out of the drying cabinet

■ Opening a door or window in the room where the drying

cabinet is installed is suggested for ventilation.

■ 4 in. (10.2 cm) heavy metal vent and clamps must be used.

Metal vent should not exceed 3 ft. (91.4 cm) in length.

■ If vented into the room where the drying cabinet is installed, a

minimum spacing of 12 in. (30.5 cm) from the metal vent to the ceiling is suggested.

■ The drying cabinet must vent outside of the enclosure in

which it is installed.

■ Do not use an exhaust vent hood on the drying cabinet vent.

■ If custom cabinetry is built to enclose the top of the drying

cabinet, leave the venting area open to allow for airflow.

1. Venting into the same room

2. Airflow in and out of the drying cabinet

Unpack Drying Cabinet

Tip Over Hazard

Drying cabinet is top heavy and tips easily when not completely installed.

Use two or more people to move and install drying cabinet.

Failure to do so can result in serious injury or cuts.

■ To prevent floor damage, set the drying cabinet onto the

cardboard prior to installation.

Install and Level Drying Cabinet

The drying cabinet may be installed with a panel trim kit or inside custom cabinetry.

Move drying cabinet into position

1. Decide on the final location for the drying cabinet. Locate

existing wiring and plumbing to prevent drilling into or severing wiring or plumbing during installation.

2. Keep the door taped closed until the drying cabinet is in its

final location.

3. As you slide the drying cabinet in so that it is flush and

centered with the cabinetry facing, route the power cord to the 3 prong grounded outlet to avoid pinching the power cord.

4. Remove tape and open the drying cabinet door. Slide out the

upper rack. Measure and note the distance from the drying cabinet to the back panel or wall as shown.

1. Wall or panel behind drying cabinet

2. Wall stud

3. Back of drying cabinet

4. Mounting hole

5. Using a pencil, mark the location of the mounting holes on

the wall or back panel of the custom cabinetry. This will show you the placement of the wood shim.

6. Slide the upper rack back and close the door. Keep the door

taped closed while it is being moved. Slide the drying cabinet out.

7. Use a wood shim the thickness of the distance measured in

Step 4. The width of the shim cannot exceed 22 in. (55.9 cm) or be less than 18 in. (45.7 cm). Attach the shim with the appropriate length screws as shown.

NOTE: When attaching the shim, check to be sure that the shim is attached solidly to the wall or custom cabinetry and that the screws do not obstruct the drying cabinet mounting holes.
