Securing an alternative anti-tip
device
If the anti-tip brackets cannot be
attached securely, 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.
– Cut a wooden beam
(cross section min. 3" x 4"
[75 mm x 100 mm]) to the required
length.
– The length is equal to the width of
the installation niche.
– If the installation niche is deeper than
the appliance, select a beam with a
larger cross section, 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.
Example: 3 ½" screw for 2x4 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 cavity and mark drill holes in
the beam.
^
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").
