Anti-Tip Bracket

WARNING
To prevent the unit from tipping forward, the anti-tip
bracket must be installed.
The back of the anti-tip bracket must be installed 610 mm
from the front of the unit (without panels). Use all the anti-
tip bracket hardware as instructed for wood or concrete
floors.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For wood or concrete floor applica-
tions, if the #12 screws do not hit a wall stud or wall plate,
use the #8 screws and #12 washers with the wall anchors.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In some installations, the subflooring
or finished floor may necessitate angling the screws used
to fasten the anti-tip bracket to the back wall.
