Anti-tilting chains - INCORRECT Installation
Accidental Tipping
Chains are provided as a preventative
measure against accidental tipping. These
chains must be fitted as part of the installers
compliance. Failure for your installer to fit
chains in accordance with the relevant
installation code will make the installation of
your upright cooker non-compliant and class
as an illegal installation.
Incorrect Installation
The photographs on this page are of one
single kind of incorrect installation (although
there are many) which does not have the
chains sufficiently secured, figure 1 shows an example of how far
forward an oven can tip when not secured properly.
Note: Correct installation is part of the installers compliance.
Unfortunately the example on this page is the way many installers
are installing uprights. They may believe that they are using the
correct method by putting the chain through a hole into the
adjacent cabinet and screwing the chain to the back wall but it will
not work if not done properly.
Putting the chain into the adjacent cabinet is the preferred method,
provided there is no slackness in the chain.
Some installations only have a single chain affixed. Both chains
must be fixed as part of the installers compliance. Failure to fix
both chains will make the installation non compliant.
Left side of oven, chain not attached.
Hole in cabinet too large, allowing
