ANTI-TILT DEVICE AND STRAIN RELIEF FLEXIBLE HOSE DEVICE
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.
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
