Step 1: Attach the strips to the TV

  1. Carefully put the TV on a clean surface without obstacles.
  1. Screw the strips Ⓒ on to the TV using the bolts for fastening strips on TV Ⓔ.
    Use washers Ⓘ and spacers Ⓙ to adjust for any high areas on the back of the TV.

Are you missing any bolts? Or need different ones? The friendly team at Vogel’s Consumer Care are waiting to help: vogels.com/contact

Make sure bolts and spacers are positioned correctly.

Refer to the user manual of your TV for the correct mounting material.

 

Step 2: Attach the wall mount to the wall

How well do you know your walls? What they’re made of matters more than you think…

  1. Decide how high you want the wall mount Ⓐ to be. Aim for the TV to be at eye level when seated.
  2. Hold the wall mount Ⓐ against the wall and mark the location of the 3 holes.
    Use a spirit level to level the wall mount.
  3. Mark the drill at the length of the bolts Ⓗ.
  4. Drill until the thread of the bolts Ⓗ completely fits in the holes.

Do not use the wall mount as a drill guide.

Up for some smooth sailing? Pre-drill the holes with a 5mm concrete/brick drill.

  1. Attach the wall mount Ⓐ to the wall with the screws Ⓗ and plugs Ⓖ.

Lubricate the bolts for easy screwing in.

  1. Don’t just guess! Always use a stud finder to determine the position of studs.
  2. Decide how high you want the wall mount Ⓐ to be. Aim for the TV to be at eye level when seated.
  3. Hold the wall mount Ⓐ against the wall and mark the location of the 3 holes.
    Use a spirit level to level the wall mount.
  4. Mark the drill at the right length.
  5. Now for the fun part… drilling the holes.

Do not use the wall mount as a drill guide.

  1. Attach the wall mount Ⓐ to the wall with the screws Ⓗ.

Lubricate the bolts for easy screwing in.

If your wall is a little special – for example, hollow bricks, metal stud walls, wood panels or plasterboard – visit information for different wall types.

If you aren’t sure, don’t worry! Just ask your installer, specialist supplier or the Vogel’s Consumer Care team at www.vogels.com/contact.

 

Step 3: Attach the TV to the wall mount

  1. Attach the interface plate Ⓑ to the head of the wall mount Ⓐ with the interface bolt and nut Ⓕ.
  1. Fasten the interface bolt and nut Ⓕ using two wrenches or similar tools.
  1. Loosen the small tabs on the strips Ⓒ with the allen key and turn the tabs outward.

Lifting your TV is a two-person job. Don’t be bold!

  1. Turn the small tabs to lock the strips Ⓒ to the interface plate Ⓑ.
  2. Screw both tabs tight with the allen key.

Job done now! Enjoy watching your TV!

 

Handy features

Tilt

  1. Loosen the interface bolt and nut Ⓙ.
  2. Try which tilt position creates the perfect viewing angle for you. Make sure the screen is in line with your eye level when seated for some well-deserved TV time.
  3. Tighten the interface bolt and nut Ⓙ when satisfied.
 

Removing your TV

  1. Unplug the cables from your TV.
  2. Loosen the small tabs on the strips Ⓒ with the allen key and turn the tabs outward to release the interface plate Ⓑ.
  1. Lift your TV off of the interface plate Ⓑ, and put it down somewhere safe.

Again, lifting your TV is a two-person job. Always get help.

 

Did it work?

 

Confused? Unsure? Going crazy?

There’s plenty of help waiting for you, online:

 

Simple troubleshooting

Found a problem you can’t fix? Don’t panic… try these!

Problem

Cause

Solution

Problem

‘I don’t have the right bolts for my TV!’

Cause

The world of TV technology is always changing – it can be hard to keep up sometimes. So, it might be the case that the correct bolt size is not included… you’re just too advanced!

Solution

Just ask Vogel’s Consumer Care to request a service kit, and we’ll send everything you need. Click here to contact Vogel's Consumer Care.

Problem

‘My wall bolts have snapped!’

Cause

You might not be drilling deep enough… or your drill could be too blunt, so that the hole is too narrow and the screw gets stuck.

Solution

Use another hole in the wall plate to fix the wall mount to the wall. Make sure you use a sharp drill of the correct size. Vacuum the hole after drilling. Check if the entire screw (except its head) fits in the hole before placing the plugs.

 

FAQs

‘Where can I request the correct bolts for my TV (a service kit)?’

Whatever you need, simply contact your local Vogel's dealer or Vogel's. Click here to contact Vogel's Consumer Care.

‘Where can I find installation videos?’

The installation video can be found at the product page of your product on our website. It can also be found on our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/c/VogelsForSure

‘How high do I need to hang my TV?’

The center of your TV should ideally be positioned at eye level, while seated. The result is dependent on the location of the holes on the back of your TV. After attaching the strips to the TV, determine the distance between the center of the TV and the center of the wallplate. This helps you determine where to drill your first hole.

‘How high do I need to hang my TV in case of a tilt mount?’

When a wall mount with tilt function is used, your TV can be mounted above eye level.

‘Which bolts or screws do I need to use?’

Vogel's offers a complete assembly kit with all mounting materials included in the box, for both your TV and wall. You need four bolts to attach the mount to the TV, and three or four screws for the wall (dependent on your model). Do you miss the correct bolts for your TV? Please contact your local Vogel's dealer. Click here to contact Vogel's Consumer Care.

‘Why do you use Fischer© plugs?’

The Fischer© DuoPower plug is widely regarded as the best standard in plugs. Don’t settle for less!

‘What is VESA?’

VESA is a standard pattern of mounting location holes on the back of a TV which allows many standard TV mounts to be easily fitted to your TV.
