using the wall-mounted roll bracket optionally available. Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the perforated metal wall-mounting metal panels from the base of the sealing device.
2. Drill two Ø6mm boreholes in the wall with a clearance of 16.5mm at the desired mounting height.
16.5 cm
3. Insert two rawl plugs (Ø6mm) with round-head screws (Ø3.5x45mm) in the boreholes.
4. Hang the sealing device on the screws.
