ASSEMBLY and INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Please proceed carefully, using the following instructions to assure this rack is assembled properly for safe installation and
use, and without damage to the finish. Haste in assembly could result in needless scratching or marring of the stainless
steel finish.
1. Unwrap rack base and grid from plastic covering. Notice that each hanger arm has one hole on one
end and two different sized holes at the other end. The end with one hole is the end that attaches to the
octagonal base. Notice also that two of the hanger arms have a threaded hole at the end with two holes.
2. Join the two hanger arms with the unthreaded holes to the two hanger arms with the threaded holes
by placing an allen head bolt through the unthreaded hole to the threaded hole in each set. Leave the
screw loose (diagram A).
3. Place the octagonal base on a flat surface. Next attach the arm sets to the base by placing them directly
over the mounting holes on the base. (Make sure that the allen head bolts at the top of the arm sets are both
showing from the same side of the rack.) Attach the four remaining allen head bolts going from the out-
side of the hanger arms to the inside of the base. Make sure that the arm sets are at right angles to the base,
and then tighten all the screws using the allen head wrench provided. Thread the two nuts onto the ends of the joined
hanger arms and tighten.
4. Place the grid on the octagonal base resting on the allen head bolts. Assembly is now complete and your cookware rack
is ready to hang.
5. Your rack must be anchored into the solid wood of ceiling joists or beams – to install otherwise is improper.
Plasterboard or wall fasteners will not work and should not be used. Carefully measure the area where the rack is to
be hung. The ceiling screw hooks should be 16" apart.
6. Install your ceiling screw hooks. Your local hardware store can advise you if special hardware is needed for your
particular kitchen.
7. Hang your pot hooks from the interior grid only. Do not hang them from the perimeter or the cut portion of the grid.
Distribute cookware evenly.
8. Use a low-abrasive product to clean your cookware rack. A periodic cleaning will restore the stainless steel to its
original brilliance.
WARNING It is important that your cookware rack be assembled and installed according to the above directions. If the
unit is assembled and or installed incorrectly, it could become unstable, collapse and possibly cause injury. Cuisinart is not
responsible for any damages due to improper assembly or installation.
