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" (89 mm) 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.

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