HOW TO POSITION THE REFRIG-
4
ERATOR TO OPERATE THE
ANTI-TIP DEVICE AND THE BASE
OF THE BRACKET.
Before putting the refrigerator in place, plug
A
the power cable into the power outlet and
connect the water line (if applicable) - Check
for leaks.
Locate the left side of the refrigerator and
B
move it back approximately in line with the left
side of the opening where your refrigerator
will be placed W. This should position the
anti-tip floor bracket so that the anti-tip floor
bracket can be connected to the refrigerator.
NOTE: When positioning the refrigerator,
make sure that the mark on the floor
matches the left side of the refrigerator.
Carefully slide the refrigerator into the cabinet
C
opening until it comes to a complete stop.
Check that the front of the refrigerator is
aligned with the front of the cabinet. If not,
gently swing the refrigerator back and forth
until it hooks and you notice that the refrigera-
tor is fully supported by the rear wall.
OPTIONAL D: Adjust the rear (and front) wheel
D
height settings to fully engage the rear anti-tip
brackets, while also aligning the front of the
refrigerator with the front of the cabinet.
NOTE:
If you separate the refrigerator from the
wall for any reason, make sure that the
anti-tip floor bracket is engaged when the
refrigerator is placed back against the wall.
