ATTENTION
Risk of damage to the installation socket, lid or base!

11 7 1 Mounting the hinged lid
The metal and plastic hinged lids differ in their construction . The
locking hooks of the plastic hinged lid are attached at an offset of
12° to the lid hinge and t hus influence t he alignment of the lid . De-
pending on the equipment of the installation socket, the installation
socket must be rotated in such a way that the hinge direction of the
lid corresponds to the joint pattern or the desired room design .
If the installation socket is positioned in the same place, this produ-
ces a lid hinge direction as shown in Fig . :

is equipped with coloured markings in red, yellow and green .
The metallic hinged lid with locking slider is marked in green .
The plastic hinged lid with cord outlet is marked in yellow and red .
During mounting, depending on the lid and equipment of the
installation socket, the two markings of a colour must be brought
together .
