8 ALTERNATE ANTI-TIP PROCEDURE

The refrigerator must be secured to prevent tipping.

The anti-tip brackets cannot be used on metal wall studs. Use this Alternate Procedure to secure the refrigerator against tip-over whenever metal wall studs are encountered and there is a soffit.

Use a 3/16bit to drill eight evenly spaced clearance holes through the metal top case trim.

• Use a 1/16bit to drill pilot holes through the metal clearance holes and into the wood soffit. The holes should be centered in the soffit or a 3/4min. wood brace. The brace spanning the enclosure must be securely fastened to cabinets on both sides.

Install eight (4 on each refrigerator) 1-1/2drywall screws into the pilot holes.
