FITTING THE STABILITY CHAIN
It is recommended that if the appliance is to be

be fitted and is available from your supplier (see 
Important Safety Requirements). These instructions 
should be read in conjunction with any leaflet packed 
with the stability chain. 
1. Place the appliance in its intended position and
level appliance.
2. Mark a position 100mm from the top of the rear
right hand corner.
3. Measure down 150mm from this point. This
gives the position of the wall anchor point for the 
stability chain.
