Site Preparation

10

An anti-tip bracket and hardware is provided with the inte-

grated unit. Placement of the anti-tip bracket is critical to

a stable installation. The anti-tip bracket must be installed

on a solid base.

If you are installing the unit in a space deeper than 24"

(610)

, be sure to locate the anti-tip bracket so that it

engages the unit properly. It is important that the anti-tip

bracket is placed 24"

(610)

from the front of the unit

(without panels) to the back of the anti-tip bracket.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

In some installations the subflooring

or finished floor may require angling the wood screws

used to fasten the anti-tip bracket to the back wall.
