Install Anti-Tip Boards

IMPORTANT:

The solid soffit must be within 1 in. (2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit is higher than 1 in. (2.5 cm) or one is not available, prevent the refrigerator from tipping during use as shown.

It is recommended that board(s) be installed before refrigerator is installed.

Board(s) must be long enough to fully cover width of compressor cover.

Locate the board(s) so the bottom surface of the board(s) are 84 in. (213 cm) from the floor.

During installation, raise the refrigerator up so there is

¹⁄₄ in. (6.4 mm) maximum between top of the refrigerator and bottom of anti-tip board(s). Do not crush the condenser cover when raising the rear leveling legs.

To install anti-tip boards

1. Mark stud locations on rear wall 80 in. to 90 in. (203 - 229 cm) above floor.

2. Securely attach one or two 2 in. x 4 in. x 32 in.

(5 cm x 10 cm x 81 cm) wood boards to wall studs behind refrigerator. Use 6 - #8 x 3 in. (7.6 mm) (or longer) wood screws.The wood screws must be screwed into the studs at least 1½ in. (3.8 cm). The board(s) must overlap the compressor cover.

Install New Water Line

(if required)

Tools required: Flat-blade screwdriver, ⁷⁄₁₆ in. and ¹⁄₂ in. open- end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches, ¹⁄₄ in. nut driver and drill bit, hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

3.Find a ½ in. to 1¹⁄₄ in. (12.7 mm to 3.18 cm) vertical COLD water pipe near the refrigerator.

NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4.Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the lower left rear of refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft. (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
