#
3. Use#the#table#below#to#work#out#the#cut#out#within#the#wall#to#fit#the#TV.#The#recess#in#
the#wall#should#be#cut#to#the#size#of#the#mounting#case#dimensions.#
#

reaching#the#TV.#
#
5. When#all#the#material#is#removed#within#the#dimensions#detailed#to#suit#your#size#of#TV.#
Use#the#screws#provided#to#fix#the#mounting#case#in#place.#Make#sure#the#edges#of#the#

#
8. Offer#the#television#to#the#wall#cut#out#and#then#carry#out#further#sealant#around#all#four#
edges#of#the#TV#making#sure#the#white#groove#that#joins#the#front#of#the#screen#to#the#TV#
is#covered#with#waterproof#sealant.#
#
9. Wipe#away#all#excess#silicon#from#the#outside#of#the#bezel#using#a#damp#soft#lint#free#
cloth.#Allow#24Hrs#to#dry#before#use.#
