ANTI-TIP PRECAUTIONS
The refrigerator is top-heavy and must be secured to
prevent the possibility of tipping forward.
• Cut a 2" x 4" x 35" block and secure the block to
the mounting brackets provided using #12 or #14 wood
screws.
• Secure the bracket with wood block to the back wall
so that it is 84" (or your installation height) from the
finished floor. Use #12 or #14 wood screws. See
illustration.
• Screws must penetrate at least one inch into vertical
wall studs.
• Gently push refrigerator into the opening with hands
against front corners.
