Securing an alternative anti-tip
device
If the anti-tip brackets cannot be
attached securely using a wooden
beam, an alternative anti-tip device can
be used.
Ensure that there is no "give" between
the appliance and the anti-tip device.
If possible, always screw the
wooden beam to existing studs.
–
The wooden beam must be at least .
3" x 4" [75 mm x 100 mm] thick.
–
The length is equal to the width of
the installation niche.
–
If the installation niche is deeper than
the appliance, use a thicker wooden
beam or attach two beams.
–
The beam must cover the appliance
by at least 2" (50.8 mm).
^
Mark the installation height (lower
edge of the beam) on the rear wall of
the niche.
^
Select screws according to the
thickness of the wooden beam.
Determine the number of screws
based on the niche width, to ensure
that the beam will be attached
securely.
^
Locate wall studs near the rear wall
of the niche and mark the drill holes
in the beam accordingly.
^ Pre-drill the wooden beam.
^ Attach the wooden beam to the rear
wall of the niche.
Now prepare the water connection
from the appliance to the main
supply line (see "Plumbing").
