Anti-Tip Bracket
WARNING
To prevent the unit from tipping forward, the anti-tip
bracket must be installed.
WARNING
To avoid a hazard due to instability of the appliance,
it must be fixed in accordance with the instructions.
Use the centerline locating holes to position the anti-tip
bracket in the center of the opening. The bracket must be
positioned 610 mm from the front of the opening to the
back of the bracket. This depth will increase to 660 mm for
a flush installation. Failure to properly position the anti-tip
bracket will prevent proper engagement.
SLIDE
Use all anti-tip bracket hardware as instructed for wood or
concrete floors.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For wood or concrete floor applica-
tions, if the #12 screws do not hit a wall stud or wall plate,
use the #8 screws and #12 washers with the wall anchors.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In some installations the subflooring
or finished floor may necessitate angling the screws used
to fasten the anti-tip bracket to the back wall.
