- Use only the provided wall plugs and screws, or suitable alternatives recommended by a professional for your specific ceiling type.
- Do not exceed the maximum weight limit of 10 kg (22 lbs). Overloading can cause damage to the rack or mounting structure.

Setup and Installation
The foxydry Mini 150 is designed for straightforward installation. Wall plugs and screws are included with the product. For optimal safety and performance, it is crucial to follow the detailed installation instructions provided in the packaging. If you are unsure about any step, consider consulting a qualified professional.
- Choose Location: Select a suitable ceiling location that can support the rack's weight and allows for full extension and retraction without obstruction. Ensure adequate clearance for laundry.
- Mark Mounting Points: Carefully measure and mark the drilling points on the ceiling according to the provided template or dimensions. The rack's design is asymmetrical, so precise measurement is important, especially if mounting near a wall.
- Drill Holes: Drill holes at the marked points using an appropriate drill bit for your ceiling material.
- Install Wall Plugs: Insert the provided wall plugs into the drilled holes.
- Mount the Rack: Securely attach the main frame of the drying rack to the ceiling using the provided screws. Ensure all screws are tightened firmly.
- Thread the Pulley System: Follow the specific instructions for threading the chain mechanism through the pulleys. This system is designed for minimal effort in raising and lowering the rack.

Operating Instructions
The foxydry Mini 150 features a user-friendly chain mechanism for effortless adjustment.
- Lowering the Rack: Gently pull the chain downwards to release the locking mechanism and lower the drying rack. The rack can be stopped at any desired height up to 180 cm (70.86 inches) from the ceiling.
- Loading Laundry: Once the rack is at a comfortable height, hang your laundry on the 8 aluminum rods. The rack can support up to 10 kg (22 lbs) of wet laundry. Distribute the weight evenly across the rods to ensure stability.
- Raising the Rack: After loading, gently pull the chain upwards to raise the rack towards the ceiling. The pulley system is designed to make this process light and easy. The rack will lock into place when fully retracted or at any intermediate position you choose.
