5. Installation Guide
5.1. Before You Begin
- Check TV Compatibility: Confirm your TV's size (40-82 inches) and VESA pattern (200x200, 300x300, or 400x400 mm).
- Determine Wall Type: Identify if your wall is solid (concrete, brick) or plasterboard. This affects the type of anchors and drilling required.
- Locate Studs (for plasterboard): For plasterboard walls, it is crucial to mount the bracket to a vertical wooden or metal stud for maximum security.
- Clearance: Ensure there are no electrical wires, water pipes, or other obstructions in the drilling area.
5.2. Tools Required
- Pencil
- Measuring Tape
- Level
- Drill
- Drill Bits (appropriate for wall type and anchor size)
- Screwdriver (Phillips head)
- Stud Finder (for plasterboard walls)
5.3. Step-by-Step Installation
- Attach TV Brackets to TV:
- Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface.
- Align the TV brackets with the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
- Select the correct screws and washers from the provided hardware kit that fit your TV's mounting holes. Use spacers if necessary to ensure the brackets are flush and cables are not pinched.
- Securely fasten the TV brackets to the TV. Do not overtighten.
- Mark Wall Drilling Positions:
- Determine the desired height for the top of your TV.
- Hold the wall plate against the wall at the desired position. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
- Mark the drilling points through the holes on the wall plate with a pencil.
- Drill Holes:
- Using the appropriate drill bit for your wall type (e.g., masonry bit for concrete, wood bit for studs), drill holes at the marked positions.
- For solid walls, insert the plastic wall anchors into the drilled holes. Tap gently with a hammer if needed until flush with the wall surface.
- For plasterboard walls, ensure you are drilling into a vertical stud. Use appropriate stud-specific anchors if not directly into a stud, but direct stud mounting is highly recommended for safety. The mount is suitable for plasterboard walls with a thickness from 12.5mm to 25mm.
- Mount Wall Plate:
- Align the wall plate with the drilled holes.
- Insert the mounting screws through the wall plate and into the anchors (for solid walls) or directly into the studs (for plasterboard).
- Tighten all screws firmly until the wall plate is securely fixed to the wall. Do not overtighten.
- Hang TV on Wall Plate:
- With assistance, carefully lift the TV (with attached brackets) and hook the TV brackets onto the top edge of the wall plate.
- Gently lower the TV until the brackets fully engage with the wall plate. Ensure the TV is centered and level.
- Secure TV with Fast Block System:
- Locate the Fast Block locking mechanism on the TV brackets.
- Engage the Fast Block system to securely lock the TV to the wall plate. This prevents accidental dislodgement.
- Verify that the TV is firmly attached and cannot be easily lifted off the mount.
6. Operation
Once installed, the Meliconi Slimstyle Plus 400 S is a fixed mount, meaning it does not offer swivel or tilt adjustments beyond any initial slight tilt. The primary operation involves securely attaching and detaching your TV.
- Attaching the TV: As described in the installation steps, hook the TV brackets onto the wall plate and engage the Fast Block locking system.
- Detaching the TV: To remove the TV, disengage the Fast Block locking system. With assistance, carefully lift the TV upwards and away from the wall plate.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Do not overtighten.
- Damage: If any part of the mount appears damaged, do not use it. Contact customer support for assistance.
8. Troubleshooting
- TV not level: Ensure the wall plate was installed perfectly level. If not, you may need to adjust the wall plate's position.
- Mount feels loose: Re-check all mounting screws on both the wall plate and the TV brackets. Ensure they are securely tightened. Verify the Fast Block system is engaged. If the wall anchors are loose, professional assistance may be required.
- TV does not fit: Double-check your TV's VESA pattern and weight against the mount's specifications. Ensure you are using the correct screws and spacers.
