1. Make sure that the wall can withstand at least twice the weight of the water heater when
completely filled with water.
2. Before locating the position for installation of the water heater, make sure that there is
sufficient clearance between the ceiling and the side wall. (Fig. 1)
3. Use a drill bit with diameter of 10mm to drill 4 holes at least 90mm deep in the wall (Fig.
3). The four holes should be aligned horizontally and vertically. The horizontal distance
between the 2 holes should be 120mm and the vertical distance should be 57mm. (Fig. 2)
4. Insert the expansion anchors into the holes. Place the wall mounting bracket over the
expansion anchors and tighten the screws on the bracket. (Fig. 3)
5. Place the water heater on wall mounting bracket (Fig. 4) using hanger hooks. Tug
downwards on the heater to ensure that the water heater is fixed steadily.
