Each support member includes a first portion secured to the wall with a plurality of fasteners such that the rear face thereof firmly engages the wall, and a second portion extending substantially perpendicular to the first portion including stop means. Openings in the rear wall of the appliance include second stop means which are aligned with the stop means on the second portion of the support member when the appliance is positioned adjacent the wall to thereby prevent tilting of the appliance.
