(2-meter) grounded power cord with a plug is connected at the top of the drying cabinet. If the electrical outlet is not located as above, the location must be adjusted so that an extension cord is not necessary. The electrical outlet shall be easily accessible after installation of the drying cabinet. Take this into consideration even in cases when the drying cabinet is built into custom cabinetry or similar framing. For further information, see the section "Electrical requirements". The floor must be able to support the weight of the cabinet 133 lbs (60 kg). The floor must be flat with a slope under the cabinet of no more than 1 in. (2.5 cm). The drying cabinet is only intended for installation indoors and at temperatures above 0°C (32°F).

The distance between the top edge of the pipe and the ceiling should not be less than 300 mm. The ventilation pipe must reach the outside of the cabinet mounting unit. Be sure that there is a good supply of air to the drying cabinet air intake orifice. The room must be well aired 1. 2.
