BLOCKING FOR SAFETY

Figure 21: Secure the appliance in place so it does not tip forward when the fully stocked door is opened.

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

2.Locate and mark two wall studs (1) against the wall where the appliance will be located. The space between the unit top and the bottom

of the brackets must not be more than 1/4" (6.4 mm).

3.Make sure the screws (2) extend a minimum of 1" (25.4 mm) into each of the wall studs.

4.Make sure the anti-tip brackets (3) extend at least 3" (76.2 mm) 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.

5.Using the adjustable roller base, raise the unit until it makes contact with the brackets. Make sure the front levelers are firmly on the floor to prevent the 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 of 1" (25.4 mm). The board should be a minimum of 1" x 6" (25.4 mm x

152.4mm) and long enough to secure both ends to the wall studs.
