STEP 3: ATTACH FIRST ARM
TIP!
It is easiest to attach arms when the corner of the pot rack to which you are connecting the arm hangs slightly past the
edge of the table. That provides clearance for the flared end that extends below the body of the rack.
Now remove the barrel bolt (28A) from one of the corners, keeping barrel nut (28B) in position. Place a curve arm (6--two-hole
end) on the OUTSIDE of the oval ends. Align the three pieces over the barrel nut [side bar (3A)
on inside, oval end (6)
in mid-
dle, arm (4A) on outside] then screw the barrel bolt (28A) into nut and loosely tighten.
Repeat for lower hole. Do not tighten barrel bolts firmly until all bolts are in place.
STEP 4: ATTACH OTHER THREE ARMS
Repeat STEP THREE for remaining arms.
STEP 5: HANG TABS
Position two hang tabs (5) at tops of each arm pair, insert barrel nuts/bolts and loosely tighten
.
STEP 6: LEVEL POT RACK ON TABLE
Place assembled rack squarely on table and adjust all parts to be certain they are level and straight. Then tighten all bolts firm-
ly.
STEP 7: PLACE BRACKETS AND GRID
Evenly space the four grid brackets along the rim of the rack inside the arms as per illustration on page 2 of these instructions
and lay the grid across the brackets.

How to Attach Your Pot Rack to the Ceiling
TOOLS NEEDED:
Provided: Installation hardware (anchors, bolt hooks, screw hooks, S-hooks)
You will need: tape measure, pencil, drill and ½” drill bit, hammer and nail
STEP 1: LOCATION
Decide where you want to place your pot rack. We suggest placement over an island or near your stove and food preparation
area. Also consider the height of the ceiling where the pot rack will hang. (See STEP 2 below.)
On the ceiling, mark two points 20-3/4” apart where the top of rack arms (at hang tabs) will attach to ceiling bolt hooks. Then
tap a small nail through each mark to be certain a joist is not in the way. (NOTE: because your pot rack includes super-strong
new-technology anchors, you DO NOT need to locate and bolt to ceiling joists. See more info under STEP 3 below.)
STEP 2: HEIGHT
What is the ideal height for your pot rack? Decide who will be the primary cook using the pot rack. The bottom of your longest
pan (usually a 10” or 12” skillet) should be easily reachable, about 6 inches above the cook’s head. Make sure the cook can
also reach the shortest pots.
This pot rack is designed for a 9-foot ceiling, a common height in many kitchens. If your ceiling is HIGHER than 9 feet, you
may want to consider adding chain to lower the rack to the ideal height. (Buy chain at a hardware store or contact our Custom-
er Service department.)
STEP 3: INSTALL DRYWALL ANCHORS
These new-technology DRYWALL anchors eliminate the need to bolt your pot rack to a ceiling joist. The steel anchors are very
strong and when installed in 5/8” drywall (standard ceiling code in modern houses) each drywall anchor holds about 200 lbs.
Two anchors hold about 400 lbs., many times the weight you will likely hang from your pot rack. Since you no longer have to
consider the location of a joist which usually determines where your rack has to be installed, you can position it in drywall any-
where you want!
Note: If you need to install your rack into wood ceiling joints, use the two wood
screw hooks provided instead of the drywall anchors and bolt hooks.
