INSTALLATION
1. Determine where to install. (Fig 1)
The NuTone Ironing Centers are designed to fit between standard 16” on-
center wall studs. A 46-1/4 ” x 14-1/4 ”x 4” deep opening is required. 24”
on-center studs will require framing to proper opening size.
When selecting the exact location for your cabinet, remember to leave room
for your door to open. The door can be mounted on either side of the cabinet.
It is recommended that you allow at least 55 inches wide and 44 inches
deep clearance around the ironing board. The ironing board will swivel to
either side so you will not need to be concerned about blocking a walkway.
However, if rotating the ironing board 90
0
in both directions, allow a total
width clearance of at least 68 inches.
CAUTION: Make sure the location you choose is free of all electrical and
mechanical services. Also make sure that you have an electrical outlet nearby,
or have purchased the Deluxe Accessory (Model No. ICAK) for installation
into the Ironing Center cabinet.
2. Determine distance above floor. (Fig. 2)
The ironing center is designed to be easily installed between two 16”-on-
center wall studs. First determine the desired height of the ironing board
from the floor (Dimension a). Standard countertop height is 36”. Use the
chart below to find and mark the bottom of the wall opening (Dimension
b) - or - use the included template.
