Anti-Tip Device
! WARNING
If your refrigerator is not located under a counter
top (free standing), you must use an anti-tip device
installed as per these instructions. If the refrigerator is
removed from its location for any reason, make sure
that the device is properly engaged with the anti-tip
bracket when you push the refrigerator back into the
original location. If the device is not properly engaged,
there is a risk of the refrigerator tipping over, with the
potential for property damage or personal injury.
NOTE
If installing on a concrete fl oor, concrete fasteners are
required, (not included with the anti-tip kit).
CAUTION
!
Any fi nished fl ooring should be protected with appropriate
material to avoid damage when moving the unit.

Step by step instructions for locating the
position of the bracket:
1) Decide where you want to place the refrigerator. Slide it
into place, being careful not to damage the fl oor, leaving 1"
(2.5 cm) of clearance from the rear wall to allow room for
the anti-tip bracket.
2) Raise the rear leveling legs approximately
to allow engagement with the anti-tip bracket. Level the
unit by adjusting all the leveling legs as required. Turning
the leveling leg counterclockwise will raise the unit and
clockwise will lower the unit.
3) Make sure the refrigerator is in the desired location, then
mark on the fl oor the rear and side corner of the cabinet
where the anti-tip bracket will be installed. If the installation
does not allow marking the rear corner of the cabinet, then
make temporary lines on the fl oor marking the front corner
of the cabinet, excluding the door. Slide the refrigerator out
of the way. From the temporary line extend the sidewall line
back 21 1 ⁄ " (54.6 cm) as shown in Figure 8.

4) Align the anti-tip bracket to the marks on the fl oor so
the side of the bracket lines up with the side of the cabinet
mark, and the "V" notches on the anti-tip bracket line up
with the end of the 21 1 ⁄ " (54.6 cm) line (Rear of cabinet
2
line).
5) Fasten the anti-tip bracket to the fl oor using the supplied
screw. (See Figure 8).
6) Slide the cabinet back into position, making sure the
rear cabinet leveling leg slides under the anti-tip bracket
engaging the slot.
