Attaching the cabinet to the bracket
NOTICE!
Only use the supplied and specified screws [2], otherwise there 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.
Tools required:
▪ Open-ended spanner/wrench (size #17)
1. Starting on one side, first align one hole of the rubber pad
with one threaded insert.
2. Insert one screw together with the spring and U washers.
3. Align the second hole of the rubber pad with the second
threaded insert.
4. Insert the second screw together with the spring and
U washers.
5. Tighten both screws.
↳This will simplify the attachment of the rubber pad on the
opposite side.
6. On the opposite side, proceed in the same manner.
