1. Attaching the anti-tip brackets 1. Specify the attachment points of the anti-tip-brackets according to the section on “Dimensions of the installation niche”. г WARNING Risk of injury and damage! 2. Attach the anti-tip-brackets completely. Be sure screws hold tight. Assure that there are no electrical wires or plumbing in the area which the screws could penetrate. г WARNING Risk of injury! Always wear safety glasses and other necessary protective devices or apparel when installing or working with dowels. Important note: If a Side-by-Side set up of two appliances is envisaged, the anti-tip brackets are needed as installation aid.
Connect the appliances before the anti-tip brackets are fixed to the wall, see “Side-by-Side installation”. Notes: Each appliance requires 2 anti-tip brackets. The set supplied, contains fastening screws for various subsurfaces. Select the fastening screws corresponding to the local conditions. If the anti-tip brackets, and therefore the appliance, cannot be securely attached with the supplied fastening screws, another suitable method must be used to attach the appliance securely. The anti-tip-brackets (a) must overlap a minimum of 2 1 / 8 ” (54 mm) over the appliance to secure the appliance.
If this minimum length cannot be observed for structural conditions it is possible to do this by fastening a spacer (b) behind the anti-tip angle, e.g. a sufficiently dimensioned wood board. Important notes for fastening with dowels and screws: Not recommended for use in light-weight masonry material such as cinder block. Not recommended for use in new concrete which has not had time to cure. The length of the plank should correspond to the width of the installation niche! Do not use spiral-flute counterbores (countersinking tool) to drill the holes. 13
