An Alternative Anti-Tipping Mechanism - Miele KF 1801 Vi Operating And Installation Manual

An alternative anti-tipping
mechanism
If it is not possible to fix the anti-tipping
mechanisms securely to the floor of the
niche, the appliance can be secured at
the top using a wooden beam. If this
method is used, then there must not be
any gap between the appliance and the
wooden beam.
– The wooden beam must be at least
75 mm x 100 mm thick.
– The length must be the same as the
width of the building-in niche.
– If the building-in niche is deeper than
the appliance, a thicker wooden
beam should be used.
– The wood must cover the appliance
to a depth of at least 50.8 mm (see
diagram).
^ Mark the position of the lower edge of
the wooden beam on the rear wall of
the building-in niche.
^ Select screws of a length depending
on the thickness of the wood.
Use the number of screws
appropriate to the niche width to
ensure that the wooden beam is
securely fixed.
^ Check where the upright wall
supports are in the back of the
housing, and mark the drill holes in
the wooden beam accordingly.
^ First, drill the holes in the wooden
beam.
^ Secure the wooden beam to the back
wall of the niche.
If you are installing two appliances
side by side, now secure the
appliances to one another (see the
instructions for the side-by-side
installation kit).
Now prepare the mains water
connection for the appliance (see
"Mains water connection").
