Installation

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 cm x 100 cm]) to the required length.

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

If the installation cavity is deeper than the appliance, select a beam which has 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.

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