Installing the appliance
Securing an alternative anti-tip
device
If the anti-tip brackets cannot be
attached securely, an alternative
anti-tip device can be used.
Ensure that there is no "give" between
the appliance and the anti-tip device.
If possible, always screw the
wooden beam to existing studs.
^ Cut a wooden beam
(cross section min. 29 ½" x 39
[75 cm x 100 cm] to the required
length).
46
The length is equal to the width of the
installation niche.
– If the installation niche is deeper than
the appliance, select a beam with a
larger cross section, or attach two
beams.
– The beam must cover the appliance
by at least 2" (50.8 mm).
^ Mark the installation height (lower
edge of the beam) on the rear wall of
the niche.
^ Select screws according to the
thickness of the wooden beam.
Example: 3 ½" (89 mm) screw for 2x4
beam.
^ Determine the number of screws
based on the cavity width, to ensure
that the beam will be attached
securely.
^ Locate wall studs near the rear wall
of the cavity and mark drill holes in
the beam.
^ Pre-drill the wooden beam.
^ Attach the wooden beam to the rear
wall of the niche.
If a side-by-side installation is
desired, connect the two appliances
