to the required length.
Length is equal to the width of the installation cavity!
̈
Mark the installation height (lower edge of the beam) on
the rear panel of the cavity.
̈
Select screws according to the thickness of the wooden
beam: length = min. 2.5 x beam thickness, diameter #12
or #14.
According to the subsurface:
̈
Locate wall studs near the rear panel of the cavity and
mark drill holes in the beam
or

CAUTION
m
Always wear safety glasses and other necessary pro-
tective devices or apparel when installing or working
with anchors.
Risk of injury!
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 cavity.
NOTE
– If the installation cavity 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).
NOTE
Specify the number of screws according to the cavity
width, thereby ensuring that the beam can be
attached securely.
