Appliance Preparations
Wall Mounting Guidelines
1. The wall-mounting bracket is designed for
stud spacing of 12 inch [30.5 cm] or 16
inch [40.6 cm] on centers. For unconven-
tional stud spacing, a solid / secure mount-
ing surface must be provided for installa-
tion of the bracket.
2. For applications using wood studs, install
the bracket using the lag screws provided
with the appliance. Ensure both lag screws
are installed securely in the studs.
3. For applications using metal studs, install the
bracket to the studs using 3/16” [5 mm] tog-
gle bolts and washers (provided by others)
4. DO NOT mount or attempt to mount the
wall bracket to hollow sheet rock or lath
walls using anchors. Only install appliance
to studs or equivalent wood structure.
5. For applications using solid walls (rock,
concrete, brick, cinder block, etc.), install
the wall bracket using anchors (double
expansion shields) bolts and washers pro-
vided with the appliance.
6. The appliance is too heavy and bulky for a
single person to lift and attempt to mount; a
minimum of 2 people is required for
mounting the appliance.
Use extreme care not to drop the appli-
ance or cause bodily injury while lifting
or mounting the appliance onto the
bracket. Once mounted verify that the
appliance is securely attached to the
bracket and wall. Failure to comply with
the above guidelines could result in prop-
erty damage, personal injury or death.
Stud Walls -Installation
1. Locate the studs in the general area of the
appliance placement.
2. Place the wall-mounting bracket on the
wall centering the mounting slots with the
stud centers and ensuring the upper edge of
the bracket is away from the wall.
3. Level the bracket, while maintaining it’s cen-
tering with the studs and use a pencil to mark
the location of the mounting slots/holes.
4. Remove the bracket from the wall and drill
1/4” [6 mm] diameter hole by 3” [76 mm]
deep positioned in the center of each mark.
For applications using metal studs and
3/16” [5 mm] toggle bolts, drill the
required clearance hole.
5. Reposition the bracket onto the wall and
align mounting slots/holes. Insert the two
lag screws provided (or toggle bolts for
metal studs) through the mounting
slots/holes and loosely tighten.
6. Level bracket and tighten screws (bolts for
metal studs) securely making sure not to over-
tighten to avoid damaging drywall or plaster.

3. Level the bracket and use a pencil to mark
the location of the mounting slots/holes on
the wall.
4. Remove the bracket from the wall and drill
a 5/8” [16 mm] diameter hole by 1-3/8” [35
mm] deep positioned in the center of each
mark.
5. Install the anchors (provided) flush or
slightly recessed in the drilled holes with
