1.5 Assembly
Attaching the bracket to walls or ceilings
NOTICE!
Only use mounting parts (fixing anchors and screws) that are
suitable for the intended application.
Observe the occurring extraction forces acting on the fixing
anchors and screws. The rated extraction forces for the respective
application (wall or ceiling mounting) and cabinet are listed in the
following table.
Application Rated extraction forces
Wall mounting 770 N
Ceiling mounting 385 N
To attach the bracket to walls or ceilings, use the holes shown in
the graphic opposite to provide adequate support.
A corresponding fixing template is supplied with these mounting
instructions. Refer to Þ Chapter 2 "Z5554 Fixing template"
on page 8.
Preparing the cabinet
The threaded inserts of the cabinet are covered by dummy caps in
cabinet color. To remove the caps, proceed as follows:
1. Cut out the caps along the recessed spline using an
appropriate cutting knife.
2. Carefully take off the caps and ensure the cabinet coating is
not peeled off.
Attaching the bracket to the cabinet
NOTICE!
Only use the supplied and specified screws [2], otherwise there is
a risk of damaging the threaded inserts.
Always use the spring washers [3] and U washers [4] to prevent
the bolts from slackening.
Always place the rubber pads [5] between the bracket and the
cabinet to prevent the cabinet coating from scratching during
assembly and adjustment.
