Back of Unit
Fit the bracket
To prevent possible
overbalancing, we
recommend that this unit
is secured to a suitable
wall by use of the
bracket fitted to the
top of the unit.
Fixings are not supplied,
as they will need to suit
the wall type and the
length of screw will
depend on the distance
from the back of the unit
to the wall.
Fix the bracket
loosely onto the top of
the unit using screw
and mark the wall for the
wall fixing.
Swivel the bracket
away from the wall and
drill a hole in the wall
using a suitable drill bit
and fit your wall fixing.
Swivel the bracket
back and fix the bracket
to the wall, then tighten
screw .
Note: Take care when
drilling the wall that you
do not drill into any
pipes, wires etc.
If in doubt, consult an
expert.
Warning: The
unit is heavy.
Lift with care.
