ANTI-TILT DEVICE AND STRAIN RELIEF FLEXIBLE HOSE DEVICE
ANTI-TILTING CHAIN/HOSE RESTRAINING CHAIN
A chain must be fitted by the installer within 50mm of the hose connection point to prevent strain on
the hose when the cooker is pulled forward. The chain should restrict the appliance movement to no
more than 80% of the hose length. After the chain is installed, check that there is no strain on the hose
or gas connections when the cooker is pulled as far forward as the chain allows.
The cooker is also supplied with two chains which are connected to the rear left and right of the
appliance. The chains should be connected to the wall directly behind the chains as low as possible
to prevent the appliance from tilting forward. If the appliance is installed between two cupboards,
drill a hole on each side of the cupboards, pass the chains through the holes and anchor the chains
within each cupboard. Ensure the chain connections are strong enough to support the weight of the
appliance and taught to prevent it from tilting forward.
WARNING! In order to prevent accidental tipping of the appliance, for example a child climbing onto
the open oven door, the stabilising means must be installed. Ensure the chains are correctly anchored
to prevent the appliance from tilting forward and to prevent strain on the hose when the cooker is
pulled forward.
MAKE SURE THE ANTI-TILTING CHAINS ARE TAUGHT WHEN ANCHORED AND ANTI TILT
RESTRAINT IS INSTALLED TO PREVENT THE APPLIANCE TILTING
Please refer to the next two pages for examples of incorrect and correct chain installation.
Accidental tipping
Chains are provided as a preventative
measure against accidental tipping. These
chains must be fitted as part of the installers
compliance. Failure for your installer to
fit chains in accordance with the relevant
installation code will make the installation
of your upright cooker noncompliant and
class an
illegal installation.
Incorrect installation
The photographs on this page are of one
single kind of incorrect installation (although
there are many) which does not have the
chains sufficiently secured, figure 1. Shows
an example of how far forward an oven
can tip when not secured properly. Note:
Correct installation is part of the installer
compliance.

Unfortunately the example on this page is the way
many installers are installing uprights. This may
believe that they are using the correct method by
putting the chain through a hole into the adjacent
cabinet and screwing the chain to the back wall but
it will not work if not properly.
Putting the chain into the adjacent cabinet is the
preferred method, provided there is no slackness in
the chain.
Some installations only have a single chain affixed.
Both chains must be fixed as part of the installers
compliance. Failure to fix both chains will make the
installation non compliant
