- Mount the Back Panel: Position the back panel on your desired wall surface. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark the drilling points through the pre-drilled holes. Drill pilot holes if necessary, then insert the wall anchors (if using for drywall) and secure the back panel to the wall using the provided screws.

Operating Instructions
To use the magnetic knife bar, simply place the metal object (e.g., knife, tool, scissor) onto the stainless steel surface. The powerful internal magnets will hold the item securely in place.
- For knives, it is recommended to place the spine (non-sharp edge) of the knife against the bar first, then rotate the blade down. This helps prevent accidental scratching of the blade and ensures a secure attachment.
- To remove an item, grasp the handle firmly and pull it away from the bar.
- The bar is designed to hold a variety of items, from small paring knives to larger chef's knives, as well as other metallic kitchen utensils or tools.

- Do Not Dishwash: This product is not dishwasher safe. Hand cleaning is required.
