Installing the appliance

Mounting Accessories

The mounting accessories needed for installing the appliance into the niche are included in the packaging. Several plastic bags are included which are marked alphabetically.

The bag needed for each step will be marked with its respective letter.

Anti-tip brackets

The anti-tip brackets ￿ keep the appliance safely secured in the installation niche ￿ and prevent it from tipping.

￿Risk of tipping

The installation niche must be securely attached to the wall behind it with multiple brackets. This is the only way the appliance, which is later secured in the niche, can be prevented from tipping!

Two anti-tip brackets are recommended for each appliance. For side-by-side installations 4 brackets are recommended.

￿Position the anti-tip brackets on the left and right in the installation niche so that there is no more than 3/8"

(10 mm) of space between the brackets and the side walls.

￿Mark the drill holes in the anti-tip brackets on the back wall and on the ceiling of the installation niche.

￿Set the brackets aside - they will be needed again later.

Screws are supplied with the appliance for various applications/materials.

If the anti-tip brackets cannot be attached securely with the screws supplied, an alternative anti-tip device can be used.

Ensure that there are no electrical wires or plumbing in the area which the screws could penetrate - risk of injury and damage.
