Installing the appliance

Securing an alternative anti-tip device

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

Ensure that there is no "give" between the appliance and the anti-tip device.

If possible, always screw the wooden beam to existing studs.

￿Cut a wooden beam (cross section min. 3" x 4"

[75 mm x 100 mm]) to the required length.

The length is equal to the width of the installation niche.

If the installation niche is deeper than the appliance, select a beam with a larger cross section, or attach two beams.

The beam must cover the appliance by at least 2" (50.8 mm).

￿Mark the installation height (lower edge of the beam) on the rear wall of the niche.

￿Select screws according to the thickness of the wooden beam. Example: 3 ½" screw for 2x4 beam.

￿Determine the number of screws based on the cavity width, to ensure that the beam will be attached securely.

￿Locate wall studs near the rear wall of the cavity and mark drill holes in the beam.

￿Pre-drill the wooden beam.

￿Attach the wooden beam to the rear wall of the niche.

If a side-by-side installation is desired, connect the two appliances together. See the Installation Manual included with the "Merging Kit".

Now prepare the water connection from the appliance to the main supply line (see "Plumbing").
