NOTE:
If you are unsure about your wall type or what
mounting method you should use, consult a
qualified professional or your local hardware
store.
5 Safety Mounting Instructions
For added safety and stability, it is recommended that the wall
mounting hardware be installed. For safe mounting, it is
essential to use wall anchors appropriate to your wall type (i.e.
plaster, drywall, concrete, etc.). Mount to wood studs whenever
possible.
A) Locate pilot holes on back of unit and attach 1 bracket
using 2 medium screws as shown.
B) Determine the final location of unit. Mark position on the
wall, approximately 2" below the wall bracket mounted to the
back of the unit.
C) Drill a hole in the wall stud. If the wall stud is not available,
drill a hole in the wall that is slightly smaller in diameter than the
plastic anchor. Gently tap the plastic anchor until the flange of
the anchor is flush with the wall.
D) Attach 1 bracket to the wall by inserting 2 large screws
through the bracket and into the plastic anchors in the wall.
E) Place the unit so the wall brackets on the back edge are
aligned with the wall brackets on the wall.
F) Lace one end of the wall strap through both brackets, and
into the other end of the strap.
G) Pull the strap tightly until secure.
H) Repeat steps A-G for remaining wall brackets and wall
straps.
CLEANING & CARE
Clean surfaces with a dry or damp soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Do not use furniture wax or polish as the unit
is finished with a protective clear lacquer. It is recommended to use coasters to protect surface from heat and water.
