Attaching An Alternative Anti-Tip Device; Preparing To Connect The Water - Thermador T18BF Série Instructions D'installation

6. Attaching an alternative anti-tip
device
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 cavity.
Saw the wooden beam (cross section min. 3" x 4")
to the required length.
Length is equal to the width of the installation cavity!
– If the installation cavity 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).
Mark the installation height (lower edge of the beam) on
the rear panel of the cavity.
Select screws according to the thickness of the wooden
beam: length = min. 2.5 x beam thickness, diameter #12
or #14.
Specify the number of screws according to the cavity
width, thereby ensuring that the beam can be atta-
ched securely.
NOTE
NOTE
According to the subsurface:
Locate wall studs near the rear panel of the cavity and
mark drill holes in the beam
or
Fasten suitable dowel into the rear wall.
Predrill the wooden beam.
Attach the wooden beam to the rear panel of the cavity.
