A solid soffit or a wood block is required to prevent the refrigerator from tipping forward after it is installed. An anti-tip bracket is located at the top, center rear of the refrigerator.

Determine what height the refrigerator will be when it is installed to fit opening. Determine the height of the anti-tip bracket at the final installed height you plan to use.
