Stable installation
The appliance is very heavy and has a tendency to tilt forwards when the appliance door is opened.
The appliance must not be switched on until there is no possibility of the appliance tilting over.
The safest method of installing the appliance in a stable position is to use the supplied anti-tilt 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-tilt 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.
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 19 mm.
