Installation
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 of the beam 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 wooden beam must cover the
appliance to a depth of at least
50.8 mm (see diagram).
