Mounting
Before beginning the installation process, read the REL Setup Made Simple section for instructions about
how to select the best location for Habitat1.
The following step by step instructions guide a Habitat1 user in mounting the cabinet to a typical home wall
made of studs with drywall finish or brick masonry walls. The Habitat1 must be securely anchored to the wall.
There are two sets of mounting brackets for the Habitat1 cabinet. Each set is made up of a wall side bracket
and a cabinet side bracket that are designed to fit together to create a solid mounting for the Habitat1.
Stud Wall Mounting
The top bracket spans most of the length of the cabinet and should get mounted to two studs that are
400mm (16 inches) apart. If the studs in your wall are farther apart, please contact your dealer for a longer
bracket to span up to 457mm (18 inches). The bottom bracket is shorter and should get anchored to one
stud and a sturdy drywall mount. Both brackets are required for the Habitat1 to function properly. Two
people are recommended for proper installation.
