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 installation enclosure. 1. Saw the wooden beam (cross section min. 3" x 4") to the required length. Length is equal to the width of the installation enclosure! Note:  If the installation enclosure 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). 4. Depending to the subsurface: Locate wall studs in the rear of the installation enclosure and accordingly transfer their location to the wooden beam or fasten suitable dowel into the rear wall. 5. Predrill the wooden beam. 6. Attach the wooden beam to the rear panel of the installation enclosure. 3. Attaching an edge protection To protect the edges of the installation enclosure, it is recommended to attach edge protection made of a suitable material. 2. Mark the installation height (lower edge of the beam) on the rear panel of the installation enclosure. 3. Select screws according to the thickness of the wooden beam: length = min. 2.5 x beam thickness, diameter #12 or #14. Note: Choose the number of screws according to the installation enclosure width, thereby ensuring that the beam can be attached securely. 15
