This document describes the "Oval Pot Rack" by Enclume Design Products, Inc., a kitchen/cookware storage product.

Function Description:

The Oval Pot Rack is designed to provide storage for kitchen cookware and utensils, helping to organize the kitchen space. It allows users to hang pots, pans, and other kitchen tools, freeing up cabinet and counter space. The rack is built to be strong and durable, capable of holding a significant amount of weight. It is designed for ceiling installation, offering an overhead storage solution.

Important Technical Specifications:

Dimensions (Grid Panels): Each grid panel measures 22" x 6".
Anchor Strength: The new-technology DRYWALL anchors are designed to be very strong. When installed in 5/8" drywall (standard ceiling code), each anchor holds approximately 200 lbs. Two anchors together can hold about 400 lbs. This eliminates the need to bolt the rack to ceiling joists, allowing for flexible placement in drywall.
Materials: The rack is made of steel with a durable powder coat finish. Pot hooks and other components are also steel.
Assembly Hardware: Includes barrel nuts (28B), barrel bolts (28A), 1/4" bolt hooks (19A), S-hooks (15), wood screw hooks (20), and hex wrenches (26A).
Installation Hardware: Provided installation hardware includes anchors, bolt hooks, screw hooks, and S-hooks.
Recommended Tools for Installation: Tape measure, pencil, drill, 1/2" drill bit, hammer, and nail.

Usage Features:

Easy Assembly: The rack is designed for easy assembly, with clear instructions provided. Users are advised to lay out all parts and ensure bolts slip easily into holes before tightening.
Flexible Placement: Thanks to the strong drywall anchors, the pot rack can be positioned anywhere in drywall, not just limited to ceiling joist locations.
Adjustable Height: For ceilings higher than 9 feet, users may consider adding chain to lower the rack to an ideal height (available at hardware stores or from Enclume's Customer Service). For ceilings lower than 9 feet, "Low-Ceiling Arms" (an accessory) can be used to raise the rack by 9-10" to prevent hanging pots from interfering with views.
Optimal Height Guidance: The ideal height for the pot rack is determined by the primary cook. The bottom of the longest pan should be easily reachable, approximately 6 inches above the cook's head, while also allowing access to shorter pots.
Even Weight Distribution: It is recommended to distribute pots and utensils evenly to minimize tipping. If an optional grid is purchased, heavier items should be hung on the rack body.
Paintable Finish: The powder coat finish allows the rack to be spray painted any color to match kitchen decor. Rustoleum "Hammered" colors are suggested for a metal-like finish.
Accessories:
- Low-Ceiling Arms (pair): Short arms designed for ceilings less than 9 feet to raise the rack and prevent pots from blocking views. Made of steel with "hammered steel" powder coat finish, paintable.
- Trim Ceiling Covers (pair): Placed above ceiling hooks to provide a "finishing touch." Made of steel with "hammered steel" powder coat finish, paintable.
- 8 Pot Hooks: A set of eight hooks (4 straight, 4 angled) for additional hanging capacity. Made of steel with powder coat finish for durability.

Maintenance Features:

Durable Finish: The pot rack features a durable powder coat finish designed for years of protection.
Easy Cleaning: The rack can be easily cleaned using soap and a damp cloth, followed by thorough drying.
Bolt Hole Preparation: Before assembly, it is important to remove any powder coat paint residue from the inside of bolt holes to ensure bolts slip in easily. A small knife can be used for this.
Barrel Nut and Bolt Preparation: Users should ensure that barrel nuts and bolts screw together easily BEFORE beginning assembly, as residue from the black finish may cause them to stick. Using the two enclosed hex wrenches to screw them together can clear away extra paint.
5-Year Limited Warranty: The product is warranted to be free of material defects for five years from the date of purchase. The exclusive remedy is repair or replacement of the defective product, subject to conditions including timely notice of defect and return of the product with a return authorization number. The warranty explicitly disclaims any other warranties, including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, and excludes incidental or consequential damages.
