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 use: 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 hole.
4. Take extra care when drilling high walls, ceilings and ceramic
tiles. Ensure wall plugs are inserted beyond the thickness of
the ceramic tiles to avoid the tiles splitting or cracking.
5. Ensure wall plugs are well fitted and are a tight fit in the
drilled hole.
Important note:
Types of walls: You can use one of the following types of wall plug if your wall plugs are made
of brick, breeze block, concrete, stone or wood.
