Wall Mounting Bracket
The wall mounting bracket must be used to mount the
appliance. This appliance must be mounted to a structur-
al wall capable of bearing a 40 pound load for SFWM36,
85 pound load for SF-WM58, 110 pound load for
SF-WM70, 135 pound load for SF-WM94.
Determine the desired location of the appliance on the
wall. Place the wall mounting bracket in the desired
location. Ensure that the bracket is level. Mark all loca-
tions on the wall that correspond to the required mounting
points in the bracket. See Figure 17 (SF-WM36),
Figure 18 (SF-WM58), Figure 19 (SF-WM70) or Figure
20 (SF-WM94).
Orientate the bracket so that its mounting hooks are
pointing up as shown in Figure 17 (SF-WM36), Figure
18 (SF-WM58), Figure 19 (SF-WM70) or Figure 20
(SFWM94). Fasten the bracket to the wall. The bracket
installation method varies depending on the wall con-
struction

Wall Mount Bracket Installation
The wall mounting bracket can be installed on masonry
walls such as those constructed of brick or concrete,
or to framed walls constructed of wood or steel framing
sheathed with gypsum drywall, wood, etc. The method
used to mount the mounting bracket is different between
masonry walls and framed walls. Refer to the following
sections for more detail on the method applicable to this
installation.
Masonry Wall
• In the marked locations, drill 5/16 in. diameter x 2
in. deep holes. See Figure 21 (SF-WM36), Figure
22 (SF-WM58), Figure 23 (SF-WM70) or Figure 24
(SF-WM94).
• Insert the provided wall anchors into the holes.
• Gently tap the anchors with a hammer until they are
ush with the wall surface.
• With mounting hooks pointed up, attach the bracket
to the masonry anchors with 6 x 50 screws . See
Figure 25 (SF-WM36), Figure 26 (SF-WM58), Figure
27 (SF-WM70) or Figure 28 (SF-WM94).
WARNING! Risk of Damage or Personal Injury! Do
not use supplied masonry anchors on hollow walls,
sheathed with wood, sheetrock, drywall or other materi-
als.

WARNING! Risk of Damage or Personal Injury! Al-
lowable pull-out and shear strength are 25% of ultimate
values or less, as required by building authorities.
The wall mounting bracket can be installed on masonry
walls such as those constructed of brick or concrete,
or to framed walls constructed of wood or steel framing
sheathed with gypsum drywall, wood, etc. The method
used to mount the mounting bracket is different between
masonry walls and framed walls. Refer to the following
sections for more detail on the method applicable to this
installation.
Framed Wall
• For each of the marked anchor point locations, de-
termine which points align with a structural framing
member.
• At the points where a wood or metal framing mem-
ber exists, the 6 x 50 screw can be installed directly
into that structural member.
• Every mounting hole that does not align with a
structural framing member, a wall board toggle-bolt
anchor must be used. See Figure 29.
• The toggle-bolt anchors are provided to accomodate
the required anchor points based on the appliance.
Use of toggle bolt anchors requires drywall thickness
of minimum 1/2 in.
• Insert the bolt through the front side of the mounting
bracket and thread the toggle onto it from the rear of
the bracket. See Figure 30.
• Fold the toggle wings  ush against the bolt and
push them through a drilled hole until they expand
open on the other side. See Figure 31.
• Pull back on the bolt and tighten. See Figure 31.
Note: This product cannot be installed on a wall
sheathed with drywall less than 1/2 in. thick, unless
all six anchor points in the mounting bracket align
with structural framing members.
