ANTI-TILT DEVICE AND STRAIN RELIEF FLEXIBLE HOSE BEVICE
ANTI-TILTING CHAIN/HOSE RESTRAINING CHAIN
A chain must be fitted by the installer within 50mm of the hose connection point to prevent strain on the hose
when the cooker is pulled forward. The chain should restrict the appliance movement to no more than 80%
of the hose length. After the chain is installed, check that there is no strain on the hose or gas connections
when the cooker is pulled as far forward as the chain allows.
The cooker is also supplied with two chains which are connected to the rear left and right of the appliance.
The chains should be connected to the wall directly behind the chains as low as possible to prevent the
appliance from tilting forward. If the appliance is installed between two cupboards, drill a hole on each side of
the cupboards, pass the chains through the holes and anchor the chains within each cupboard. Ensure the
chain connections are strong enough to support the weight of the appliance and taught to prevent it from
tilting forward.
WARNING! In order to prevent accidental tipping of the appliance, for example a child climbing onto the
open oven door, the stabilising means must be installed. Ensure the chains are correctly anchored to prevent
the appliance from tilting forward and to prevent strain on the hose when the cooker is pulled forward.
MAKE SURE THE ANTI-TILTING CHAINS ARE TAUGHT WHEN ANCHORED AND ANTI TILT
RESTRAINT IS INSTALLED TO PREVENT THE APPLIANCE TILTING
Please refer to the next two pages for examples of incorrect and correct chain installation.
Accidental tipping
Chains are provided as a preventative
measure against accidental tipping.
These chains must be fitted as part of
the installers compliance. Failure for
your installer to fit chains in
accordance with the relevant
installation code will make the
installation of your upright cooker non-
compliant and class an illegal
installation.
Incorrect installation
The photographs on this page are of
one single kind of incorrect installation
(although there are many)which does
not have the chains sufficiently
secured, figure 1. Shows an example
of how far forward an oven can tip
when not secured properly. Note:
Correct installation is part of the
installer compliance.
Loose Chain
Hole in cabinet too
large, allowing the
upright oven to tilt
forward.
Left Side of oven,
chain not attached
Unfortunately the example on this page is the way
many installers are installing uprights. This may
believe that they are using the correct method by
putting the chain through a hole into the adjacent
cabinet and screwing the chain to the back wall but it
will not work if not properly.
Putting the chain into the adjacent cabinet is the
preferred method, provided there is no slackness in
the chain.
Some installations only have a single chain affixed.
Both chains must be fixed as part of the installers
compliance. Failure to fix both chains will make the
installation non compliant
