Preparing for installation

NOTICE: Any electrical or plumbing obstructions should be removed
or relocated by qualified trade personnel in strict compliance with all
applicable building codes.
□
To replace an existing cabinet, remove the old cabinet and
verify that the wall opening is 14 in. wide, 24 in. high, and
3½ in. (or more) deep. Proceed to step 2 if these
dimensions are correct.
□
For a new installation, select a wall opening site that is
centered between wall studs that are positioned 16 in. on
center. Use a stud finder to locate the studs.
□
The center of the wall opening is commonly located 60 in.
above the floor. Alter this dimension to suit individual
needs or to facilitate clearance between the top or bottom
of the hinged mirror and obstacles such as counter top,
faucet, electrical outlet, light fixture, ceiling, etc.
□
Mark and cut the 14 in. wide x 24 in. high wall opening.
Use a level to ensure the cut lines are level before you
begin cutting the wall.

Mounting the cabinet
□
Place the cabinet in the wall opening with the top of the
cabinet body return flange held fully against the wall.
Noting that the mounting system inside the cabinet
positions the mounting screws (AA) at a 15° angle, install
two screws (AA) in the upper mounting holes inside the
cabinet. Use only the screws provided (do not use nails). Do
not fully tighten the screw heads into the nests at this time;
leave approximately ¼ in. of thread exposed. To assist with
the installation, mark and drill .078 in. diameter pilot holes
(at the 15° angle) into the studs and/or coat the screw
threads with soap.
□
Install two screws (AA) in the lower mounting holes. Leave
¼ in. of the thread exposed.
□
Some walls are not flat and plumb. Using a carpenter's
level, adjust as necessary to level the cabinet as viewed
facing the cabinet and viewed from the side. Check the fit
of the cabinet door to the cabinet body flange. Correct any
gap between the door and body by shimming as necessary
between the wall and the body flange at the corner
diagonally opposite the gap. (Example: If the gap is
top/right, shim bottom/left). Adjust the shim thickness for
cross-axis alignment to achieve a satisfactory fit between
the door and body.
□
Tighten all four mounting screws (AA) until the screw heads
are just seated in their nests. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
