An alternative anti-tipping
mechanism
The appliance can alternatively be
secured with a wooden beam across
the top of the appliance. If this method
is used, then there must not be any gap
between the appliance and the wooden
beam.
– The wooden beam must be at least
75 mm x 100 mm thick.
– The length must be the same as the
width of the building-in niche.
– If the building-in niche is deeper than
the appliance, a thicker wooden
beam should be used.
– The wood must cover the appliance
to a depth of at least 50.8 mm (see
diagram).
^ Mark the position of the lower edge of
the wooden beam on the rear wall of
the building-in niche.
^ Select screws of a length depending
on the thickness of the wood.
Use the number of screws
appropriate to the niche width to
ensure that the wooden beam is
securely fixed.
^ Check where the upright wall
supports are in the back of the niche,
and mark the drill holes in the
wooden beam accordingly.
^ First, drill the holes in the wooden
beam.
^ Secure the wooden beam to the back
wall of the niche.
Now prepare the mains water
connection for the appliance (see
"Mains water connection").
