PRE-INSTALLATION

Please follow these Pre-Installation steps to ensure your ironing board will work properly in the installation location you have selected.

STEP ONE: Ironing Board Clearance

Begin by ensuring your desired installation location has adequate space for your selected model. Choose Recessed Mount or Surface Mount.

STEP TWO: Standing Room & Door Clearances 

It is recommended to have 16” on hinge side for the door to open flush against the wall and move out of the way of the board. This is _a requirement for swivel models _so that the board has clearance to turn. For comfortable standing room to iron, we recommend 24” clearance on the desired ironing side.

STEP THREE: Determine Mounting Height

Identify your desired ironing board height (typical ironing board is 35” to 36” high ). Then subtract the number below based on the length of your model’s ironing board to determine mounting height (FIG 1.3). For adjustable swivel models, take into consideration the adjusted position of your ironing board, which is 4” higher than the normal, default position.

Fig 1.3

• 46” Boards: 11”
  EX: Desired Height 35” – 11” = 24”
  Mounting Height.

• 42” Boards: 7”
  EX: Desired Height 35” – 7” = 28”
  Mounting Height.

• UD-42: 16”
  EX: Desired Height 30” – 16” = 14”
  Mounting Height.

• UD-42: 16”
  EX: Desired Height 30” – 16” = 14”
  Mounting Height.

STEP FOUR: Prepare Installation Location

After identifying your installation location, use a stud finder to locate necessary studs. Locate existing wiring or utilities to prevent drilling into or severing wires.

*** PLEASE NOTE: Under no circumstances should the ironing board and/or the support mechanism be removed from the cabinet during installation.

STEP ONE: Cut Rough-In Opening

Beginning with the mounting height determined in Step Three of Pre- Installation, cut an opening in the wall based on dimensions given below for your specific model:

AE-46, ANE-46, UD-42:   59 7/8” H x 14 3/8” W x 3 7/8” D

AE-42, ANE-42:   51 1/4” H x 14 3/8” W x 3 7/8” D

Next, attach a 2 x 4 cross support cleat (not provided) between studs, level with bottom of opening (FIG 2.1)

Fig 2.1

STEP TWO: Pre-Drill Holes

Using an 1/8” drill bit, pre-drill holes in both side walls of the cabinet, under the top shelf (1 hole per side), 2 1/2” from the back wall (FIG 2.2)

Fig 2.2

  MODELS AE-46, AE-42, & UD-42: PLEASE REFER TO ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTION ON PG. 7 BEFORE PROCEEDING.

STEP THREE: Place Unit in the Wall

Carefully lift and place unit into the wall opening. Plumb and level the cabinet, shimming to fit if necessary

STEP FOUR: Secure Top of Cabinet.

Using pre-drilled holes from Step Two, attach cabinet to studs with two #10 x 1 1/2” provided screws for top installation (FIG 2.2).

STEP FIVE: Secure Bottom of Cabinet & Anchor Swivel 
Locate swivel brackets near bottom of cabinet and remove top screws only from both sides. Pre-drill pilot hole into bracket and replace with two #14 x 2 1/2” provided screws (FIG 2.3). This will provide anchoring for your swivel.

PRO TIPS:

ELECTRICAL
If installing an electrical unit, remove electrical raceway before pre- drilling top installation holes for easier access.

WALL IRREGULARITIES
Decorative trim may be added to cover any irregularities in the wall after installation.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Models | AE-46, E-46, AE-42, E-42, UD-42

ATTENTION:
TURN OFF POWER AT SERVICE ENTRANCE BEFORE INSTALLING, WIRING, OR SERVICING THIS PRODUCT

ITEMS TO NOTE

• Instructions for electrical models ONLY,

• DO NOT attempt to install your own outlet or
  electrical hook-up in non-electrical models
  NE-46, NE-42, ANE-46, ANE-42, or IAW-42. This can cause an electrial hazard and will void the warranty of your unit.

• All electrical work must be done in accordance with all applicable electrical codes.

• SUPPLY LINE 110 Volt/15 AMPS.

STEP ONE: Prepare Electrical Raceway

TURN POWER OFF AT SERVICE ENTRANCE.

Then, begin installation by removing the screws at the top and bottom of electrical raceway to access the inside.

STEP TWO: Remove Electrical Knockout

Locate and remove the knockout at the top of the raceway and install a 3/8” Romex connector in its location.

If surface mounting, a vent hole will need be made
through the back side of the cabinet, 24 1/2” down from top of cabinet, and 2 13/16” from cabinet left side.

Verify that there is ample supply wire (48” is recommended) available to run from the top of the ironing center to the location of the provided black and white pigtails.

STEP THREE: Prepare Raceway

Begin to place the ironing center into its location (supported by cleat if recessed or with the 2 x 4 braces if surface mounted) while feeding supply wire through the designated vent hole.

Return to Swivel or Non-Swivel instructions to complete installation of unit to the wall. When finished, return to complete final steps here.

STEP FOUR: Connect Electrical Wires

A black and white pigtail are provided for electrical hook-up located near bottom of raceway. Connect supply wires to these pigtails.

_ DO NOT attempt to connect to any other location inside the electrical raceway. _Doing so will cause the electrical features to malfunction.

A green ground wire is provided and secured with a star washer to the back of the electrical channel. Connect your own ground to that location or attach to the location opposite the existing ground and add your own star washer.
