overhead furniture/fixtures.
For this reason it is essential that all attachable furniture/

To ensure that the appliance is installed securely and
functions properly, the base must be flat and level.
The base must be made of a hard, rigid material.
The installation area must be the same height as the rest of
the room.
On account of the heavy weight of a fully loaded appliance, a
load-bearing base is required. If in doubt, contact an
architect or a building expert.
