1.2.2 Installation and maintenance instructions

•   These general Installation and Maintenance Instructions are supple-

mentary to the instructions provided with the product, such as instal-
lation instructions, and are not intended as a replacement.

•   Under no circumstances make any alternations to the product. If the 

product does not meet the needs or requirements for which it was 
acquired, it should not be used.

•   Before installation, the adequacy (conditions) of the surface on, to or 

against which the product will be placed must be checked (thickness, 
solidity and stability).

•   Select the diameter and depth of any mounting holes so that all plugs 

and screws can be secured firmly and without any problems. Before 

drilling mounting holes, check there are no electricity, water or other 
pipes running behind the mounting surface.

•   During use, regularly check if the screw connections of the mounted 

product are still securely attached to the surface. These connections 
can become loose through frequent movement.

•   If the condition of the product is such that the product can no longer 

be used safely, for example through wear and tear, the product must 
be taken out of use and care must be taken that it can no longer be 
operated, even inadvertently or unwittingly by others.

•   With moveable/adjustable products, take care that the installed pro-

duct can move unimpeded around its axis. 

•   Cleaning instructions: do not use corrosive or abrasive substances – 

use only a damp cloth.
