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").
