1.Place the appliance in its intended position and level appliance.
2.Mark a position 100mm from the top of the rear right hand corner.
3.Measure down 150mm from this point. This gives the position of the wall anchor point for the stability chain.
4.The stability chain anchor point on the appliance is shown in the diagram Fig. 4.
