•Mount the anti-tip floor bracket using the Minimum Acceptable Installation #1, as illustrated in Fig. 2.

4POSITIONING THE REFRIGERATOR TO ENGAGE THE ANTI-TIP FLOOR AND BASE BRACKETS

ABefore pushing the refrigerator into the opening, plug the power cord into the receptacle and connect waterline (if equipped). Check for leaks.

BLocate the refrigerator’s RH side and move back approximately in line with the RH side of the cabinet opening, W. This should position the anti-tip floor bracket to engage the anti-tip base bracket on the refrigerator.

CGently roll the refrigerator back into the cabinet opening until it comes to a complete stop. Check to see if the refrigerator front lines up with the cabinet front face. If not, carefully rock the refrigerator forward and backward until engagement occurs and you notice that the refrigerator is fully pushed up against the rear wall.
