STEP 2B INSTALL ANTI-TIP BRACKET (CONT.)

CONCRETE Wall and Floor Construction:

A. Anchors required (not provided): 4 each 1/4” x 1 1/2” lag bolts

4 each 1/2” O.D. sleeve anchors

B. Drill the recommended size holes for the anchors into the concrete at the center of the holes marked in Step 2.

C. Install the sleeve anchors into the drilled holes. Place the anti-tip floor bracket as indicated in Step 2. Remove the locator template from the floor.

D. Install the lag bolts through the anti-tip floor bracket and tighten appropriately.

WOOD Wall and TILE Floor Construction:

A. For this special case, locate the 2 wall holes identified in Fig. 1. Drill an angled 1/8” pilot hole (approx. as shown in Fig. 3) in the center

of each hole.

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

STEP 2C POSITION THE REFRIGERATOR TO ENGAGE THE ANTI-TIP FLOOR AND BASE BRACKETS

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

B. Locate 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.

C. Gently 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.

D. OPTIONAL: Adjust the rear (and front) wheel height settings to fully engage the rear anti-tip brackets, while also aligning the refrigerator front with

the cabinet front face.

NOTE: If you pull the refrigerator out and away from the wall for any reason, make sure the anti-tip floor bracket is engaged when the refrigerator is pushed back against the wall rear wall.
