Important note:
If the anti-tip brackets cannot be attached securely, 

an alternative anti-tip-device can be attached. However, 

ensure that there is no play between the appliance and 

the anti-tip-device. If possible, always screw the wooden 

beam to existing studs on the rear panel of the 

installation niche.
1. Saw the wooden beam (cross section min. 3" x 4") 

to the required length. Length is equal to the width 

of the installation niche!
Note:
– If the installation niche is deeper than the 

appliance, select a beam which has a larger 

cross section or attach 2 beams.

– The beam must cover the appliance by 

at least 2" (50.8 mm).

2. Mark the installation height (lower edge of the beam) 

on the rear panel of the installation niche.

3. Select screws according to the thickness of the 

wooden beam: length = min. 2.5 x beam thickness, 

diameter #12 or #14.
Note:
Choose the number of screws according to the 

installation niche width, thereby ensuring that the 

beam can be attached securely.

4. Depending to the subsurface:

Locate wall studs in the rear of the installation niche 

and accordingly transfer their location to the wooden 

beam
or
fasten suitable dowel into the rear wall.

5. Predrill the wooden beam.
6. Attach the wooden beam to the rear panel of the 

installation niche.

To protect the edges of the installation niche, it is 

recommended to attach edge protection made of 

a suitable material.
Attach the edge protection with the adhesive tape which 

was used to attach the accessories to the appliance.

Attach the fastening sheets (lateral) to the appliance.
