Anti-Tipping Mechanism - Miele KF 1801 Vi Operating And Installation Instructions

Anti-tipping mechanism

The anti-tipping mechanism supplied
ensures that the appliance is fixed
securely into the building-in niche,
preventing the appliance from tipping
forwards.
Use two anti-tipping mechanisms for
each appliance or side-by-side pair of
appliances.
If the building-in niche is deeper than
the appliance, screw a solid wooden
beam a to the floor or wall behind the
anti-tipping mechanism b.
The length of the wooden beam a
must be the same as the width of the
building-in niche.
Gap "D" between anti-tipping
mechanisms b is exactly equal to the
width of the appliance(s).
^ Place anti-tipping mechanisms b
flush against the left and right-hand
sides of the niche.
^ Mark the drilling positions onto the
niche floor, side walls and rear wall
through the holes in the anti-tipping
mechanisms b.
^ Put the anti-tipping mechanisms in a
safe place - they will be required
later.
Fixing screws for different uses and
types of material are supplied in the
accompanying pack.
If these are not suitable for the
anti-tipping mechanism in your
installation, you will need to secure it
by alternative means.
^ Drill the following holes:
– 3 mm diameter for the 5 x 60 mm
screws
– 2 mm diameter for the 4 x 15 mm
screws
^ The anti-tipping mechanisms can
now be secured in the niche.
Make sure that the screws are at a
depth of at least 19 mm in the floor and
side walls of the niche.
