Attaching alternative anti-tilt device
Important note:
If the anti-tilt brackets cannot be securely attached,
a wooden beam can be used above the appliance as an
alternative anti-tilt device. Care should be taken that
there is not a gap between the appliance and the
wooden beam. As far as possible, always screw the
wooden plank to the rear wall of the niche.
1.
Saw the wooden beam (cross section min. 3" x 4")
to the required length. Length is equal to the width
of the installation niche!
Notes:
– If the installation niche is deeper than the
appliance, select a beam which has a larger
cross section or attach 2 beams.
– The beam must cover the appliance by at least 2"
(50.8 mm).
2.
Mark the installation height (lower edge of the beam)
on the rear panel of the installation niche.
3.
Select screws according to the thickness of the
wooden beam: length = min. 2.5 x beam thickness,
diameter #12 or #14.
Note:
Choose the number of screws according to the
installation niche width, thereby ensuring that the
beam can be attached securely.
4.
Depending to the subsurface:
Locate wall studs in the rear of the installation niche
and accordingly transfer their location to the wooden
beam
or
fasten suitable dowel into the rear wall.
5.
Predrill the wooden beam.
6.
Attach the wooden beam to the rear panel of the
installation niche.
3.
Attaching the edge protectors
To protect the edges of the installation niche, it is
recommended to attach edge protection made of
a suitable material.
Attach the edge protection with the adhesive tape which
was used to attach the accessories to the appliance.
4.
