Installation

Preparing the installation niche

￿Keep the appliance door closed until it is securely fastened in the niche. Tipping hazard.

Because of the size and weight of the appliance, it is essential to ensure that the appliance cannot tip over once it has been mounted in the niche.

Mounting Accessories

The mounting accessories needed for installing the appliance into the niche are included in the packaging. Several plastic bags are included which are numbered alphabetically.

The bag needed for each step will be marked with its respective letter.

￿Use the included Torx screwdriver to tighten the screws.

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).

If the installation niche is deeper than the appliance, a solid wooden beam ￿ can be placed behind the anti-tip brackets ￿ so the appliance can be securely attached to the base or wall.

The length of the wooden beam ￿ should be the width of the installation space.

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

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