Installing the appliance

Securing an alternative anti-tip device

If the anti-tip brackets cannot be attached securely using a wooden beam, 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.

The wooden beam must be at least . 3" x 4" [75 mm x 100 mm] thick.

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

If the installation niche is deeper than the appliance, use a thicker wooden beam 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.

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

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

￿Pre-drill the wooden beam.

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

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