should be read in conjunction with any leaflet packed
with the stability chain.
1. Place the appliance in its intended position and
level appliance.
2. Mark a position 100mm from the top of the rear
right hand corner.
3. Measure down 150mm from this point. This gives
the position of the wall anchor point for the
stability chain.
4. The stability chain anchor point on the appliance
is shown in the diagram Fig. 5.
