The anti-tip bracket is to be located on the floor in the left or
right rear corner of the refrigerator as shown in Figure 6.
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 floor, 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
1

4
" (6 mm) 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 clock-
wise will lower the unit.
3) Make sure the refrigerator is in the desired location, then
mark on the floor 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 floor 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

with the end of the 21
