overbalancing we
recommend that this unit
is secured to a suitable
wall by use of the metal
bracket fitted under
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
of the back of the unit to
the wall.
Warning: Take
care when
drilling the wall that you
do not drill into any
pipes, wires etc. If in
doubt, consult an expert.
