Installation Guide

ShowOff Magnetic Rack Mounting Instructions

This step-by-step guide includes important safety information, detailed mounting instructions, wall-specific advice and care tips to help you securely install and maintain your ShowOff Magnetic Rack.

Safety First

  • Always Drill carefully - ensure there are no hidden cables or pipes behind the wall.

Use a voltage tester if necessary

  • Ensure that your mounting wall is dry and of sound structure.
  • When attaching knives or sharp tools, always face tip upward to prevent injury or damage if knocked off the rack

Unboxing

Fully slide open the box and unpack all the contents.

Mounting the Rack

Hold the rack against the wall in the desired position.

  • Use the supplied spirit level to align it.
  • Mark the two drill holes with the Sharpie.

Set the rack aside.

Adding Accessories & Tools

Attach the two magnetic caps over the screw holes.

Compatible with Masonry, Drywall, and Most Wall Surfaces

Notes on affixing to drywall/plasterboard

  • Fully screwing in the screws at moderate speed allows the DuoPower plugs to expand and lock tightly behind the drywall ensuring a tight and permanent fixing.
  • Locating and drilling into a wooden stud behind your drywall (even at one end of the rack) will only mean an even stronger fixing so there is no need to avoid the wooden studs.

Notes on wall surfaces

Tiles

  • Aim for one screw hole at the intersection of four tiles (stacked pattern) or three tiles (offset pattern)
  • Drill the second hole accordingly

Marble

  • Drill with caution - consult a professional if unsure
  • If you are installing a new kitchen, your kitchen installer can drill the holes when the marble is being pre-cut.

Glass

  • Only Professionals should drill glass
  • If you are installing a new kitchen, your kitchen installer can drill the holes when the glass is being pre-cut.

Notes on Removing rack

Should you need to remove the rack from the wall:

  1. Prise off the magnetic caps using the tip of an appropriate knife (use a sturdy knife, not your finest chef’s knife)
  2. Unscrew the screws
  3. Remove the wall plugs: Lightly hand screw into them and lever out with a hammer claw.
  4.  by hand screwing in the screws and carefully lever out with the claw of a hammer
  5. Fill the holes with a suitable filler and smooth over. 
  6. Sand the dry filler smooth if necessary and paint over  to remove all trace of the holes

Accessories

  • The Sharpie and spoon holders are intentionally designed to attach semi-permanently. They will slide along the rail if you want to reposition them. 
  • The magnetic hooks can be easily detached and reattached as required. 
  • To Remove: Insert a Sharpie or spoon and pull directly outward
  • If the arms of the spoon holder distort after repeated use, gently straighten them by hand or with a pliers.

Care & Maintenance 

Your rack is made of non-corrosive stainless steel 

  • To Clean: Use a micro-fibre cloth and a mild soap & water solution. 
  • Over time, light surface scratches may appear - these are normal and harmless. 
  • If desired, light surface scratches can be buffed out using extremely fine grade sandpaper
