The safest method of installing the appliance in a stable position is to use the supplied anti-tip brackets.
If the installation niche is adequately stable and the appliance can be attached securely to the upper and side walls of the niche, it may be possible to dispense with the anti-tip brackets. A prerequisite for this is always a firm connection between the niche and back wall!
In the case of doubt, the help of architect or specialist builder should be enlisted.
Installation niche
It is important to keep to the stated dimensions of the installation niche with a view to trouble-free fitting, and the subsequent appearance of the kitchen furniture frontage.
Special care should be taken that the niche has right angles. The side walls should not exhibit areas that stick out, projections or unevenness.
You should determine the right angles of the installation niche with appropriate means, e.g. by measuring diagonally and by using a spirit level.
The side walls and the upper end of the installation niche must be at least 5/8" (16 mm) thick.
Neighbouring kitchen furniture
The new appliance is screwed down tightly using parts of the cabinet and the upper cabinet.
Care should therefore be taken, that all upper cabinets to which something has been fastened are securely connected to the subsurface or wall by appropriate means.
The minimum thickness of the base should be a minimum of 3/4" (19 mm).
Floor
The subsurface must be level and even in order to ensure that the appliance is securely installed and works correctly.
The subsurface must be made from a hard, non-flexible material.
The floor of the installation space must have the same height as the rest of the space.
On account of the weight of a fully-laden appliance, it is necessary to have a bearing subsurface. In the case of doubt, the help of architect or specialist builder should be enlisted.

Instead of one large door, two furniture doors can be mounted next to each other in the case of appliances with a width of 30" (76 cm) and 36" (91 cm). These furniture doors are then connected using a metal strip on the rear.
This metal strip is available from your dealer as an installation accessory (Connection element for furniture doors). For further information see section “Tools and Accessories which are needed”.
When attaching the metal strip to the furniture doors, observe the maximum possible length of the screws and the position of the drill holes. Always screw into the best load-bearing material of the furniture door.
Note:
–Never screw into fillers, decorative strips or similar.
–If only one furniture door is to be attached to the door of a 30" or 36" wide appliance, attach the supplied sandwich plate to the adjusting rail and lock into position.
