Installing the appliance

Anti-tip brackets

The anti-tip brackets help keep the appliance safely secured to the installation niche to prevent tipping.

Two anti-tip brackets are recommended for each appliance or appliance combination (side-by-side).

The distance "D" between the anti-tip brackets b is the width of the appliance.

^Position the anti-tip brackets b on the left and right walls of the appliance niche.

^Mark the holes through the anti-tip brackets b on the floor of the installation niche.

^Set the brackets aside.

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

^Drill pilot holes:

1/8" (3 mm) for 5 x 60 mm wood screws

1/16" (2 mm) for 4 x 15 mm wood screws

^Tightly secure the anti-tip brackets in the niche.

Be certain that the screws penetrate through the flooring and into the wall plate a minimum of 3/4" (19 mm).
