Attaching An Alternative Anti-Tip Device - Thermador T36IT71FN Instrucciones De Instalación

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).
NOTE

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.
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.
