STEP 7 ANTI-TIP PROCEDURE
WARNING
Tip Over Hazard.
These refrigerators are top heavy, especially with any
doors open, and must be secured to prevent tipping
forward which could result in death or serious injury.
Read and follow the entire installation instructions for
securing the refrigerator with the anti-tip system.
AVERTISSEMENT
Risque de
basculement
Ces réfrigérateurs présentent une partie supérieure lourde,
en particulier avec une porte ouverte; ils doivent donc être
fixés pour prévenir le basculement vers l’avant et le risque
concomitant de blessure grave ou fatale. Lisez et suivez
les instructions d’installation complètes pour l’installation du
système anti-basculement.
ADVERTENCIA
Riesgo de Caídas
Estos refrigeradores son inestables, especialmente
cuando una puerta se encuentre abierta, y deberán estar
asegurados a fin de evitar caídas hacia adelante que
podrían resultar en la muerte o en lesiones graves. Lea y
siga las instrucciones de instalación en su totalidad para
asegurar el refrigerador con el sistema anti volcaduras.
• Cut a 1” x 4” block, 35” (88.9 cm)
long.
• Measure and mark under the soffit,
5-1/4” (13.34 cm) from the front edge
of the cabinet.
• Secure the wood block under the
soffit. From the bottom of the block to
the finished floor should measure 84”
(213.36 cm). See the illustration.
Connect Power Cord:
• Before pushing the refrigerator into the opening, plug
the power cord into the receptacle. The water filter
guard will need to be removed for access (some
models). Remove the 3 screws holding it in place. If
access is still too tight, remove the 2 screws holding
the water filter bracket and move aside. Open the
grille panel and reach into the opening at the back
to grasp the power cord. Pull the power cord into the
opening as you push the refrigerator back. Secure the
bracket and guard with the original screws.
• Gently push refrigerator into the opening with hands
against front corners.
STEP 7 ANTI-TIP PROCEDURE (Cont.)
• Once the refrigerator is pushed into the opening,
use leveling legs to raise the refrigerator until it rests
against the block installed at the top of the opening.
We recommend units for flush installation be
installed under a soffit. If this is not possible,
follow these instructions using the mounting
brackets.
• Cut a 2” x 4” block, 35” (88.9 cm) long and secure the
block to the mounting brackets provided using #12 or
#14 wood screws.
• Secure the bracket with wood block to the back wall
so that it is 84” (213.36 cm) from the finished floor.
Use #12 or #14 wood screws. See the illustration.
• The screws must
penetrate at least one
inch into the vertical
wall studs.
• If metal wall studs then
use self-tapping sheet
metal screws in place
of the wood screws to
secure the block and
brackets to the wall.

STEP 8 LEVEL REFRIGERATOR
All models have 4-point leveling. The front is supported
by leveling legs, the rear is supported by adjustable
wheels. Both are accessible from the front of the
refrigerator.
• To level the back of the
refrigerator, turn the 7/16” hex
nut located above the front
wheels. Turn clockwise to
raise or counterclockwise to
lower the refrigerator.
• For front leveling, use a 1-1/4”
open-end wrench.
• Adjust height of refrigerator to match installation
cutout opening 84-1/2” (214.63 cm). The refrigerator
should be level and plumb with cabinetry.
NOTICE: The rear leveling wheels and front leveling
legs are limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1”
(2.54 cm). If the installation requires more than 84-1/2”
(214.63 cm) height, the installer should elevate the
refrigerator on a sheet of plywood or runners. Cabinetry
trim could also be added across the top of the opening
to shorten the opening. If you attempt to raise
the refrigerator more than 1” (2.54 cm), you will
damage the front leveling legs and the rear leveling
wheels. Make adjustments in small increments.
