A Guide to Wall Mounting & Fixings
IMPORTANT:
When drilling into walls always check that there are no
hidden wires or pipes etc. Make sure that the screws
and wall plugs being used are suitable for supporting
your unit. Consult a qualified tradesperson if you are
unsure.
HINTS:
1) General Rule
Always use a larger screw and wall plug if you are not sure.
2) Ensure you use the recommended drill bit to match the wall plug and hole size.
3) Ensure you drill the hole horizontally, do not force the drill or enlarge the holes.
4) Take extra care when drilling high walls, ceilings and ceramic tiles.
Ensure the plus is fitting below the ceramic tile to avoid splitting or cracking.
5) Ensure wall plugs are well fitted and are a tight fit in the drilled hole.
