INSTALLATION
Installing a Wall Mounted Unit
Mounting the food finisher on a wall requires special
considerations and procedures due to the weight of the unit.
Follow the guidelines below when determining the location for
wall mounting as well as during installation.
• The wall brackets must be fastened to a wall with 16" on
center, solid wood 2x4 stud construction covered by a
minimum of 1/2" thick sheathing.
• Each wall bracket must be installed with at least four,
evenly-spaced 1/4" x 2-1/2" lag screws that solidly hit the
wood studs in the wall.
• Several people will be needed to lift and position the unit on
the wall.

Installation Procedure
Use the following procedure to mount a wall mounted food
finisher on a wall.
1. Make sure the mounting location meets the requirements
listed previously in this procedure.
2. Determine the height for the unit installation.
a. Mark the wall at the desired height for the top of the
cabinet.
NOTE: The top row of holes on the wall brackets is
approximately one inch below the top of the unit after
installation.
3. Locate the wood stud positions in the wall.
a. Determine which studs to use for installation. The studs
used must allow the wall brackets to be installed a
distance of 32" on center from each other.
NOTE: The wall brackets are shipped upside down and
hanging on the 1/2" hanging rods on the back of the
unit. Make sure to rotate the wall brackets 180° before
marking the locations for the lag screws and installing
the brackets. The smooth, flat side of the wall bracket
should be installed against the wall.
4. Install the wall brackets onto the wall. For each bracket:
a. Center and level the wall bracket on its corresponding
stud. Mark the locations for four vertically-spaced lag
screws through the holes in the bracket.
b. Drill four 3/16" pilot holes in the wall at each marked
location for the lag screws. The lag screws are 1/4" in
diameter and 2-1/2" long.
c. Insert four lag screws through the wall bracket and into
the pre-drilled pilot holes in the wall.
d. Tighten each lag screw securely.

5. Lift the unit and hook the upper and lower 1/2" hanging
rods on the back of the unit over the corresponding hooks
on the wall brackets. Make sure the unit hanging rods are
fully seated in the wall brackets. This step will require
several people.
6. Attach the bottom channel to the bottom of the unit.
a. Position the bottom channel into the gap between the
wall and the back of the unit.
b. Align the holes on the back of the unit with the holes on
the bottom channel.
c. Thread the bottom channel screws through the back of
the unit and into the bottom channel. Tighten securely.
NOTE: Installation of the bottom channel will prevent the unit
from lifting up off the wall bracket.
