4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully for proper installation. It is recommended to have two people for the installation of the TV.

1. Prepare the Wall:
   • Determine the desired height for your TV. Mark the drilling points on the wall.
   • Use a stud finder to locate wall studs if mounting on a wooden stud wall. For concrete or brick walls, use appropriate anchors.
   • Important: The type of wall fixings required depends on your wall material. Wall fixings are typically sold separately. Consult a hardware store if unsure.
2. Attach Wall Bracket:
   • Position the main wall bracket against the marked points.
   • Use the integrated spirit level on the bracket to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
   • Drill pilot holes as per the instructions for your chosen wall fixings.
   • Securely fasten the wall bracket to the wall using appropriate screws and anchors. Ensure it is firmly attached and does not wobble.
3. Attach TV Rails to Television:
   • Lay your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
   • Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
   • Attach the two vertical TV attachment rails to the back of your TV using the provided screws, washers, and spacers. Ensure the rails are oriented correctly so they can hook onto the wall bracket. The pull cords should hang downwards.
   • Choose the correct screw length that fits your TV without damaging internal components.
4. Mount the TV:
   • With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached rails.
   • Hook the top of the TV rails onto the top edge of the wall bracket.
   • Gently lower the TV until the bottom of the rails clicks into place, securing the TV to the wall bracket.
   • Pull the release cords to ensure the locking mechanism is engaged and the TV is securely mounted. The cords should hang freely behind the TV.

5. Operating

The IKEA UPPLEVA Fixed TV Wall Mount is designed for a static, fixed position. Once installed, your TV will remain flush against the wall.

• To Remove the TV: Gently pull the two release cords downwards and outwards simultaneously. This will disengage the locking mechanism, allowing you to lift the TV off the wall bracket. Ensure you have assistance when removing the TV to prevent damage or injury.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safety of your wall mount.

• Cleaning: Wipe the metal parts with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they are tight and secure. Over time, vibrations or movement can loosen fasteners.
• Damage: If any part of the mount appears damaged or worn, do not use it. Contact IKEA customer service for replacement parts or advice.
