ANTI-TIP BOARDS
For open to ceiling or soffit cabinet constructions the
refrigerator must be braced with the help of primary and
secondary anti-tip boards.
PRIMARY ANTITIP BOARDS
IMPORTANT:
It is recommended that primary anti-tip boards be
installed before the refrigerator is installed.
Boards must be long enough to fully cover the width
of the compressor cover.
Place the boards so that the bottom surfaces of the
boards are 84" (213 cm) from the floor.
During installation, raise the refrigerator up until
the top of the refrigerator is making contact with
the bottom of the anti-tip boards. Do not crush the
compressor cover when raising the rear leveling legs.
NOTE: The foam gasket, on top of the compressor cover,
will compress to fit under the anti-tip board(s). There is no
need to trim the gasket.
To install primary anti-tip boards-
1. Mark the stud locations on rear wall.
2. Securely attach two 2" x 4" x 32" (5 cm x 10 cm x 81 cm)
boards to wall studs behind refrigerator. Use six
#8 x 3" (7.6 cm) (or longer) wood screws. The wood
screws must be screwed into the studs at least
1½" (3.8 cm). The boards must overlap the compressor
cover.
SECONDARY ANTITIP BOARDS
For all full height door or armoire panel installations,
the secondary anti-tip board is required to be
installed prior to door panel installation.
This anti-tip board is to be secured on the right side of
the cabinet enclosure as per the dimensions shown
in illustration.
Secure the secondary anti-tip board so that the
bottom surface of the secondary anti-tip board is
75⁄" (191.77 cm) from the floor (right hand side).
To install secondary anti-tip board-
1. Mark the stud locations on right hand side cabinet
wall.
2. Securely attach one 2" x 4" x 12" (5 cm x 10 cm x
30.4 cm) board to the cabinet on right hand side
cabinet using wood screws. Use three
#8 x 2" (5.08 cm) (or longer) wood screws.
NOTE:
It is recommended to drive the wood screws from
cabinet wall into the secondary anti-tip board as
shown in the illustration.
The board must have overlap of 1" (2.54) with the
refrigerator top.
Leave 4" (10.16 cm) free space at rear as shown in the
illustration.
