FITTING WALL HUNG BASE UNITS AND WALL UNITS
Units should be fitted by professional installers.
All base units whether with legs or wall-hung come complete with leg sockets fitted for
transit purposes. If the units are to be installed wall-hung, please remove these sockets
prior to fixing. To do this, insert a small flat headed screwdriver into the centre section and
carefully lever out the centre pin. The bracket can now be easily removed (see g 1).
It is advised that a line is now drawn along the length of the wall, level with where the units
are to be fitted at the desired height above floor level. If the space between the floor and
the unit is to be 175mm then the line shown as x (see g 2) should be drawn to suit the
unit being fitted.
Wall hanging brackets need to be fixed to the carcass when they are sold separately. The
brackets should be fixed the correct way up by knocking four prongs into the holes at the
rear of the carcass. Ensure that the securing pin is knocked into place, (see g 3).
Fix the brackets to the wall with appropriate plugs and screws for your wall type (not
supplied).
The units then simply hook onto the wall fixed brackets. Adjustment to gain a level surface
is as follows,
A - Adjust this to pull the cabinet into the wall
B - Adjust this to move the cabinets up or down (see g 3);
Pull the cabinets tightly in against the wall using the adjustment screws on brackets. It is
important to ensure you have sufficient support for the weight of pottery and unit plus
contents when fitting wall hung units.
Once all units are in place they can be joined together by means of drilling and screwing
through adjacent side panels. We suggest making fixing less obvious by drilling behind
hinges and/or loose shelves, (see g 4).
A securing screw should then be fitted through the back of the unit, through the fixed back
rail of the cabinet and into the wall on a base unit, this will help to stabilise the unit
(see g 5 point 4).
Now that all the units are securely fixed, ensure that all the back panels that were removed
earlier are slid back into position before proceeding further. Please note that many back
panels are double-sided and therefore have a different finish on either side. Always check
that you slide the panel in with the correct finish facing forwards, (see g 4).
For all units with a fixed back panel we advise that you drill a 10mm hole through the back
panel and then fit a stabilising screw though the back rail of the cabinet into the wall. The
10mm hole can be covered with one of the caps supplied or if positioned appropriately, by
the loose shelf of the unit, when applicable (see g 6).
