Installation (Wall Mounting)

This step is mandatory for safety.

Decide on cabinet placement. It can be mounted alone or combined with other EKET units.
Locate wall studs using a stud finder. Mark their positions.
Hold cabinet against wall in desired position. Level using a spirit level.
Mark drilling points through the wall attachment holes inside the top of the cabinet.
Remove cabinet. Drill pilot holes at marked points into wall studs or use appropriate wall anchors for your wall type.
Place cabinet back against wall, aligning holes. Insert and tighten wall attachment screws (H) through the cabinet into the wall.
Ensure cabinet is firmly fixed and does not wobble.

CAUTION! If not mounted into a stud, use heavy-duty wall anchors rated for the cabinet's weight. Test stability before use.
