Attaching an alternative anti-tip-
device
Important note:
If the anti-tip brackets cannot be attached securely,
an alternative anti-tip-device can be attached. However,
ensure that there is no play between the appliance and
the anti-tip-device. If possible, always screw the wooden
beam to existing studs on the rear panel of the
installation enclosure.
1.
Saw the wooden beam (cross section min. 3" x 4")
to the required length.
Length is equal to the width of the installation
enclosure!
Note:
If the installation enclosure 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 enclosure.
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 enclosure width, thereby ensuring that
the beam can be attached securely.

Depending to the subsurface:
Locate wall studs in the rear of the installation
enclosure 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 enclosure.
3.
Attaching an edge protection
To protect the edges of the installation enclosure,
it is recommended to attach edge protection
made of a suitable material.
