Fit the overbalance
protector kit

To prevent possible
overbalancing we
recommend that the
dressing table is secured
to a suitable wall by
fitting of the overbalance
protector kit to the
unit, or an alternative
fixing method of your
choice.

Wall fixings are not
supplied as they will
need to suit the wall
type.

Note: Take care when
drilling the wall that you
do not drill into any
pipes, wires etc.
If in doubt, consult an
expert.
