Please read all instructions carefully before installation and use. Keep this manual for future reference.

• Ensure the mounting surface is suitable and strong enough to support the rail and its intended load.
• Use appropriate tools and mounting hardware for your wall type.
• Do not overload the rail. Refer to the specifications for weight limits (if available, otherwise use general caution).

3. Package Contents

Verify that all components are present before beginning assembly:

• 1x Hultarp Rail (23 ½ inches / 60 cm)
• 2x Mounting Brackets
• Screws and Wall Plugs (quantity may vary based on packaging)

4. Setup and Installation

Tools Required: Drill, screwdriver, spirit level, measuring tape, pencil.

1. Choose Location: Select a suitable wall location, ensuring there are no hidden pipes or electrical wires.
2. Mark Holes: Hold one mounting bracket against the wall at the desired height. Use a spirit level to ensure it is straight. Mark the positions for the screw holes with a pencil. Repeat for the second bracket, ensuring it is level with the first and spaced correctly for the rail length (23 ½ inches / 60 cm between bracket centers).
3. Drill Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked positions. Use a drill bit appropriate for your wall type and the provided wall plugs. Insert wall plugs if necessary.
4. Attach Brackets: Secure the mounting brackets to the wall using the provided screws. Do not overtighten.
5. Mount Rail: Insert the Hultarp rail into the openings of the attached brackets. Ensure it is firmly seated.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the Hultarp Rail is ready for use. It is designed to hold various kitchen accessories, such as S-hooks, containers, or other compatible items from the Hultarp series or similar systems. Simply hang your desired accessories onto the rail. Ensure that the weight distribution is even and does not exceed the rail's capacity.

6. Maintenance and Care

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Hultarp Rail:

• Wipe clean with a soft cloth dampened with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution.
• Dry thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth to prevent water spots and tarnishing.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemical solvents, as these can damage the polished finish.
• Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight.

7. Troubleshooting

• Rail feels loose after installation: Ensure all mounting screws are tightened securely. If using wall plugs, verify they are correctly seated in the wall and are appropriate for your wall material.
• Finish appears dull or tarnished: Clean the rail as per the "Maintenance and Care" section. Avoid harsh chemicals. For persistent tarnishing on brass, a specialized brass cleaner may be used sparingly, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
• Accessories do not fit: Ensure you are using compatible accessories. The Hultarp series is designed to work together, but other brands may have different dimensions.
