Mounting the screen
-
Locate your desired installation location with a stud finder (recommended) and mark the drill-hole area of where the screen is to be installed.
Note: The mounting components and hardware supplied with this screen are not designed for installations to walls with steel studs or to cinder block walls. If the hardware you need for your installation is not included, please consult your local hardware store for the proper mounting hardware for the application. -
Drill a hole with the proper bit size into where the first mark is made.
-
Line up the wall brackets(c) using a spirit level with the drilled holes on the installation location and screw them in using a Philips screwdriver, as shown in 15.1. Once brackets are installed, test how secure the brackets are before positioning the screen in place.
-
Position the fixed frame screen onto the top wall brackets as shown in 16.1 and push down at the centre of the bottom frame to secure the installation. Once screen is mounted, test how secure the screen is to ensure it is secured correctly.
-
The wall brackets allow flexibility by allowing the fixed frame screen to slide to the sides. This is an important feature as it allows you to adjust your screen to be properly centred. IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT MOUNTING THE BRACKETS ON YOUR WALL, PLEASE CONSULT YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE STORE OR HOME IMPROVEMENT SPECIALIST FOR ADVICE OR ASSISTANCE
Screen Care
The surface of your screen is delicate. Special attention to these instructions should be followed when cleaning.
- A draftsman-style brush may be used to lightly whisk away any loose dirt or dust particles.
- For tougher spots, use a solution of mild detergent and water.
- Rub lightly using a sponge. Blot with a damp sponge to absorb excess water. Residual water marks will evaporate within a few minutes.
- Do not use any other cleaning materials on the screen. Contact your dealer if you have questions about removing difficult spots.
- Use provided velour brush to remove any dust on the frame.
