Dilù Installation Guide

BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Unpack and Inspect
Carefully unpack your clock and inspect it before installing. If anything appears damaged, please contact us. It is easy for you to replace the hands and movement on-site.

STEP 1: Measure Your Clock and Wall Space

1. Locate the mounting bracket and anchor bag in your package.
2. Identify where the mounting bracket attaches to your clock body. This varies by model—it may be slightly above, flush with, or slightly below the top.
3. Measure your entire clock, then measure your intended wall space.
4. Mark the wall (with painter's tape or light pencil) where the top center of the clock will hang.
5. If the mount attaches above or below the clock's top edge, measure this distance and mark accordingly—this is where you'll drill for the anchor.
6. Important: Measure twice, drill once. The minimalist design won't conceal your drilling mistakes.

STEP 2: Verify Wall Anchor Compatibility

Different wall types require different anchors:

• Hollow materials (drywall, plaster, wood panel)
• Thick concrete
• Wood studs

We included the appropriate anchor based on your specifications, threaded to fit the metric M5 bolt. Contact us if you need a different anchor type.

STEP 3: Install the Wall Anchor

For Hollow Surfaces (SNAPTOGGLE® Toggle Bolt):

1. Drill a ½" hole at your marked spot (consider starting with a ¼" pilot hole, then enlarge to ½").
2. Hold the metal toggle flush with plastic straps and slide into the hole in the wall.
3. Pull the plastic end toward you until you feel the metal toggle grip the wall.
4. Slide the plastic cap flush with the wall. The anchor should now be firmly gripping both sides of the wall.
5. Tap edges of the cap with a hammer if needed to ensure it's perfectly flush.
6. Snap off the plastic straps by moving them side to side.

To permanently remove the anchor: Place a flat-head screwdriver in the anchor's center and hammer until it drops into the wall cavity.

STEP 4: Install Mounting Bracket

Screw the mounting bracket into the anchor. A small gap between bracket and wall is acceptable—what matters is that the bracket is firmly secured. For brackets with vertical threads, ensure proper orientation on the final turn.

STEP 5: Apply Rubber Bumper (optional)

For clocks with bottom stabilizers that rest against the wall, affix the included rubber bumper to the back.

STEP 6: Set Time Before Installation

1. Install the AA battery or pull the paper tab to engage the pre-installed battery. We included a leak-proof Lithium Energizer battery that should last much longer than a standard alkaline. Unlike alkaline, power will drop sharply at end of life, so there's no need to replace it until absolutely necessary.
2. Set time using the green adjustment dial on the back—rotate so hands move clockwise (counterclockwise is acceptable for moving the hands back an hour or two).
3. Do not move the minute hand directly—this can strip the hand hole and cause damage.
4. Ensure hands clear each other and the clock body when vertical (hands may touch when horizontal).
5. Gently bend hands away from each other if needed—they're designed to be adjustable.

STEP 7: Install the Clock

Carefully attach the clock to the mounting bracket using the included screw. This varies by model.

Maintenance

• Time Setting: Always use the rear adjustment knob.
• Battery Replacement: May require removing the clock from wall—good opportunity to dust since dusting promotes the movement’s longevity.
• Recommended Battery: Energizer Lithium AA non-rechargeable variety (leak-proof, longer lasting, less changes)
• Important: Replace dead alkaline batteries promptly to prevent leakage and movement damage.
