4. Installation Instructions
This cabinet is designed for wall mounting in a corner. Proper installation is crucial for stability and safety.
Wall Mounting
- Choose Location: Select a corner on a sturdy wall. Ensure there are no electrical wires or plumbing pipes behind the wall where you plan to drill.
- Mark Mounting Points: Hold the cabinet in the desired position against the wall. Use a pencil to mark the locations of the pre-drilled mounting holes on the back of the cabinet onto the wall. Use a level to ensure the marks are aligned horizontally.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Using a drill bit appropriate for your wall type and the provided wall anchors, drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
- Insert Wall Anchors: Gently tap the wall anchors into the pilot holes until they are flush with the wall surface.
- Mount Cabinet: Align the cabinet's mounting holes with the installed wall anchors. Insert the mounting screws through the cabinet's back panel and into the wall anchors. Tighten securely with a Phillips head screwdriver. Do not overtighten to avoid damaging the cabinet or wall.
- Verify Stability: Gently pull on the cabinet to ensure it is firmly attached to the wall and does not wobble.
