Warning

Using other wall-hanging brackets, or installing a wall-hanging bracket by yourself have the risk



of personal injury and product damage. In order to maintain the unit’s performance and safety, be absolutely sure to ask your dealer or a licenced contractor to secure the wall-hanging brackets.
