Building in the appliance
Preparing the installation niche Securing the installation niche
Keep the appliance door closed until the appliance is secured inside the niche.
Risk of tipping over!
The installation niche must be fixed to the wall behind it with several screws. Only this can ensure that the appliance will not tip over after being installed.
Always use the provided anti-tip brackets to secure the niche.
Due to the sheer size and weight of the appliance, it needs to be ensured that it cannot tip forwards once it is built into the niche.
Using the installation equipment
Parts required for installation of the appliance are supplied with the appliance. The plastic bags supplied are marked with letters for easy identification.
When performing the individual assembly steps, observe the letters specified and use the matching plastic bag with the required installation equipment.
The provided anti-tip brackets ensure the installation niche is securely fixed to the wall.
2
Use 2 anti-tip brackets for each individual appliance or 4 anti-tip brackets for each (side-by-side) combination of appliances.
Position the anti-tip brackets on the left and right of the niche.
