BLOCKING FOR SAFETY

1.Secure the refrigerator in place so it does not tip forward when the fully stocked door is opened.

2.Measure the distance from the floor to the upper edge of the unit.

3.Locate and mark two wall studs against the wall where the refrigerator will be located. The space between the unit top and the bottom of the brackets must not be more than 1/4" (0.635 cm).

4.Make sure the screws extend a minimum of 1" (2.54 cm) into each of the wall studs.

5.Make sure the anti-tip brackets extend at least 3" (7.62 cm) over the unit and are securely in place.

IMPORTANT

The anti-tip brackets can be installed in either direction or closer together. Always position the anti-tip brackets as wide apart as possible, but make sure they are anchored to two studs.

6.Using the front and rear levelers, raise the unit until it makes contact with the brackets. Make sure the front levelers are firmly on the floor to prevent appliance from tipping forward.

IMPORTANT

If your unit is positioned in between the wall studs, a board can be secured to the wall. Make sure the board is secured to the studs with screws that will penetrate into the studs a minimum 1" (2.54 cm). The board should be a minimum of 1" x 6" (2.54 cm x 15.24 cm) and long enough to secure both ends to the wall studs.
