INSTALLING THE CABINET
Anti - tip Bracket considerations
Before placing the cabinet in opening, the depth of the
cut-out opening should be at least 24" (61cm). If the cut-out
opening depth is more than 24" (61cm), then a piece of
wood must be secured crosswise on the wall into the studs
at the height of the anti-tip brackets. (See Figure 11 and
13). Slide the cabinet into position and level the cabinet
with adjustable rear roller and front leveling legs. (See Lev
-
eling the unit on page 13).
18" and 24" wide refrigerators, freezers and
wine cellars:
The anti tip bracket is fastened to the cabinet and runs the
full width of the cabinet. Locate a wall stud behind the cabi-
net and secure the anti-tip bracket with at least (2) #8 x 1

30" wide refrigerators:
Locate a wall stud behind the unit that is suitable for secur-
ing the 5" anti-tip bracket to the wall. The position of the
bracket should be to the right of the power module and not
behind the power module. Do not disturb the power module
gasket on the left side of the unit. Place the anti tip bracket
on top of the cabinet flush with the back of the cabinet.
Mark and drill at least three holes (1/8" (3.2mm) into the
top of the cabinet and secure the bracket to the top of the
cabinet with at least (3) of the #8 x
