A Consumer Guide to Product Safety
When used in the directed manner, this unit has been designed and manufactured to ensure your personal
safety. However, improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. Please read all safety and
operating instructions carefully before installation and use, and keep these instructions handy for future reference.
Take special note of all warnings listed in these instructions and on the unit.
1. Water and Moisture – The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.
2. Ventilation – The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper
ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block
ventilation openings. Also, it should not be placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet,
that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
3. Heat – The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other
appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
4. Power Sources – The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the appliance.
5. Grounding or Polarization – This product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug.
(a plug having one blade wider than the other) As a safety feature this plug will fit into the power outlet only
one way. If you are unable to fit the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug by forcing the plug into the outlet
6. Power-Cord Protection – Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on
or pinched by items placed upon or against them. It is always best to have a clear area from where the cord
exits the unit to where it is plugged into an AC outlet.
7. Cleaning – The unit should be cleaned only as recommended. See the Maintenance section of this manual
for cleaning instructions.

A Consumer Guide to Product Safety
8. Objects and Liquid Entry – Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into
any openings or vents located on the product.
9. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer.
10. Lightning and Power Surge Protection – Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna
or cable system during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time.
This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
11. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this
can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
12. Damage Requiring Service – The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. the power supply cord or plug has been damaged.
B. objects have fallen into or liquid has been spilled into the enclosure.
C. the unit has been exposed to rain.
D. the unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
E. the unit exhibits a marked change in performance or does not operate normally.
13. Antenna – Do not connect an external antenna to the unit (other than that provided).
14. Periods of Nonuse – If the unit is to be left unused for an extended period of time, such as a month or longer,
the power cord should be unplugged from the unit to prevent damage or corrosion.
15. Servicing – The user should not attempt to service the unit beyond those methods described in the user’s
operating instructions. Service methods not covered in the operating instructions should be referred to
qualified service personnel.

iH36 Mounting/Installation Instructions
Step 1. Measure the overhang height
Use a ruler or tape measure to determine the exact amount of overhang, if any.
Measure from the front inside bottom edge of the cabinet bottom straight down to
the end of the overhang (see figure 1) to determine the height of the overhang.
(Figure 1)
Front of
Cabinet
Bottom Shelf
Step 2. Determine which spacers and screws to use
OVERHANG
Once you have your overhang measurement, look at Table 1 and find the nearest
measurement in the Overhang column, then determine the combination of spacers
and screw size you need. Set them apart.
Measure this distance to
select screw and spacer
combination (see chart)
Examples:
If your cabinet has no overhang, just use 4 of the 3 inch screws with no spacers
If your cabinet has a 1 inch overhang, use 4 of the 1/2" spacers, 4 of the 1" spacers and four 4 1/2" screws.

iH36 Mounting/Installation Instructions
MOUNTING THE iH36
We recommend the unit be mounted flush to the front edge of the cabinet.
1. Select and Set Template and Drill holes
a. Using a Template First, decide which mounting method/template you prefer, the inside the cabinet template (Mounting
Template A) or the under the cabinet template (Mounting Template B). Next, cut out the selected template on the line
indicated depending on whether your cabinet has an overhang or not. Position the chosen Mounting Template either
inside or under the cabinet with the arrow facing the front of the cabinet. Secure in place with tape.
b.Drilling There are 4 guide holes on the mounting template. We recommend that you start each hole before drilling by first
marking the center point of the guide hole then pressing an awl or nail into the mark. Always wear safety goggles when
operating a drill. For ease and accuracy of drilling, it's a good idea to drill pilot holes next using a 1/16" bit. Finally, use a
sharp 1/4" drill bit to carefully drill 4 holes through the cabinet. Make sure all holes are drilled straight, and not at an angle.
Remove any debris.
c. Remove the template
DRILLING TIPS: You may first wish to place masking tape over the opposite side you are drilling to avoid splintering. Hold drill
firmly to avoid the bit "walking".
Spacers
2. Insert Spacers
a. Place the needed spacers into the mounting posts on top of the unit.
3. Mount unit to cabinet
a. From inside the cabinet, place a finishing washer above each hole and screw the
4 screws through any spacers into the mounting holes on the unit. Make sure the
unit is supported until the screws are tightened.
NOTE: For secure mounting, the screws must go into the iH36 at least 3/8".
OPTION: You may prefer to countersink the drilled holes from inside the cabinet if
you have the correct countersink attachment for your drill. This will make the screw
heads flush with the cabinet surface.
b.Tighten the screws using a Phillips head screwdriver.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE POWER TOOLS TO TIGHTEN SCREWS
Once the unit its securely mounted, plug into a nearby 120Volt outlet. Note that there is a built-in cord wrap on the back of
the unit to wrap up any excess wire.
