STEP 4 ANTI-TIP PROCEDURE
(CONT)
Install Screws and Bolts:
• Have someone hold the
wall bracket centered in
place with each of the
holes aligned with the
correct opening in the
bracket and level with the
horizontal line.
• Insert the lag screws
through the bracket and
into the stud. Tighten
with a wrench.
• Insert the bolts into the
toggle by hand until
snug. Tighten with a
wrench.
CONNECT POWER CORD:
• Before pushing the refrigerator into the opening, plug
the power cord into the receptacle. 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.
• Gently push refrigerator into the opening with hands
against front corners.
IMPORTANT: When the refrigerator is installed under
a soffit or if there is not enough height for this method
of security, brackets cannot be used. Proceed to step
5 to level the refrigerator and then to step 7 to secure
refrigerator to cabinets.
STEP 5 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
83-1/2" (212.09
cm) to 84-1/2"
(214.63 cm). The
refrigerator should
be level and plumb
with cabinetry.

STEP 5 LEVEL REFRIGERATOR
(Cont.)
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.
STEP 6 SECURE UNIT TO WALL
• The "L" rod can be found in the upper left corner of
the unit in the access compartment. Look through the
access compartment to make sure the rod lines up
with the anti-tip bracket.
• There are 2 washers and a hair pin cotter with the rod.
Remove the washers and hair pin cotter from the end
of the rod.
• Rotate and move the
"L" rod into the slot in
the anti-tip bracket tab.
Once it is in the slot,
rotate the "L" rod so the
hook portion is pointing
down. The holes at the
front end of the rod
should be in a vertical
position.
• Pull out on the end of the
rod to make sure it is secure in the bracket.
• Locate the hole on the rod that is closest to the unit.
A hair pin cotter will be put through this hole to secure
the rod. If this hole appears to be too far away for a
snug fit against the unit, add the washers one at a
time until the pin will fit tightly into the hole.
• Align the straight section of the pin with the hole from
the underside of the rod. Push the pin up until it snaps
into position. Pliers may be used. NOTE: The hair pin
cotter must be vertical when this step is completed
to ensure the "L" rod is
engaged in the bracket.
• Check the rod for
tightness by pulling
forward. If the rod
moves, remove the hair
pin cotter and place
another washer on the
rod. Reinsert the pin.
