Recommendations regarding the construction and fitting of a base when the installation requires an integrated appliance to be raised
Where the appliance has been raised by mounting onto a wooden base pro- vided by the installer. The material used to construct the base should have a non slip surface, be water repellent and if possible be one solid piece.
If it is not possible to use one solid piece, due to the additional height required, ensure that any additional strips of timber are glued and screwed to the underside of the base (see Fig. F).

Drill four fixing holes see Fig. G
Position the base into the recess with its front edge as far forward as the adjoining plinth line will allow. The rea- son for placing the base in this position is to allow a small strip of beading to be fit- ted in front of the appliance feet.
