• Determine the desired location of the appliance on
the wall.
• Place the wall mounting bracket in the desired loca-
tion.
• Ensure that the bracket is level.
• Mark four locations on the wall that correspond to
the four required mounting points in the bracket.
See Figure 4.1.
• Orientate the bracket so that its mounting hooks are
pointing up as shown in Figure 4.3 and 4.7.
• Fasten the bracket to the wall.
Note: The bracket installation method varies de
pending on the wall construction (See Section B).
= Required Mounting Points
Masonry Wall
• In the marked locations, drill four 5/16 in. diameter x
2 in. deep holes.
• Insert the provided wall anchors into the holes.
Gently tap the anchors with a hammer until they are
fl ush with the wall surface.
• Attach the bracket to the masonry anchors with six 5

Figure 4.2 Masonry Anchor Placement
WARNING! Risk of Damage or Personal Injury! Do
not use supplied masonry anchors on hollow walls,
sheathed with wood, sheetrock, drywall or other materials.
Figure 4.1 Mounting Bracket
B. Installing Wall Mount Bracket
The wall mounting bracket can be installed on masonry
walls such as those contructed 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.

Page 9
Framed Wall
• For each of the marked anchor point locations, determine which points align with a structural framing
member.
• At the points where a wood or metal framing member exists, the 5 x 40 screw can be installed directly
into that structural member. See Figure 4.3.
• Every mounting hole that does not align with a
structural framing member, a wall board toggle-bolt
anchor must be used. See Figure 4.4.
Figure 4.4 3/16 Toggle-Bolt Anchor
• Four 3/16 toggle-bolt anchors are provided to accomodate four of the six required anchor points. 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 4.5.
Figure 4.6 Installing Anchors in Hollow Wall
C. Appliance Installation
• Hang appliance on the mounting bracket.
• Align the slots on the back of the appliance with the
hooks on the top two corners of the bracket.
• Hang the appliance and pull down to ensure the hooks
are fully engaged. See Figure 4.7.
• Secure the appliance to the bracket with two M5x10
screws. See Figure 4.7.
• Fold the toggle wings fl ush against the bolt and push
them through a drilled hole until they expand open
on the other side. See Figure 4.6.
• Pull back on the bolt and tighten. See Figure 4.4.
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.
WARNING! Risk of Damage or Personal Injury! Allowable pull-out and shear strength are 25% of ultimate
values or less, as required by building authorities.
