STEP 8a Attach to wall via concrete mounting.

Identify which installation works best for your space. Align the unit with the location on the wall where you plan to mount it. Ensure unit is level and use a pencil to mark the top two corners of the unit on the wall and set the unit aside. Measure 2-11/16 in. down from the corner marks and make two new marks. Place the bottom of the hang track
(M) on top of the two new marks. Make sure hang track is level and mark both the round holes at each end and the second slots in from each end. Set hang track aside and carefully drill a 5/16 in. hole that is 2-1/2 in. deep at the four marked locations. Insert the four anchors (HH) in the wall and tap flush with a hammer. Place the hang track back on wall, make sure holes align with anchors, and use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the four ST4.8 x 57 mm. pan head tapping screws (II) and four M5 washers (JJ) through the hang track into the anchors.
Hook the exterior brackets on the hang track, and tilt the unit back and then down to hang unit.

Place the bottom of the hang track (M) on top of the two new marks. Make sure hang track is level and mark the two separate hole and/or slot locations on the hang track where you will hit studs. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to secure hang track to wall by attaching the two ST4.8 x 57 mm. pan head tapping screws (II) and two M5 washers (JJ) through the hang track into the studs.
NOTE: Both screws must hit studs for hang track to be completely secured to wall. Do not use more than two screws. Hook the exterior brackets on the hang track, and tilt the unit back and then down to hang unit.
