POSITIONING THE REFRIGERATOR
TO ENGAGE THE ANTI-TIP FLOOR
AND BASE BRACKETS
Before pushing the refrigerator into the
opening, plug the power cord into the
receptacle and connect waterline (if
equipped). Check for leaks.
Locate the refrigerator’s RH side and
move back approximately in line with the
RH side of the cabinet opening, W. This
should position the anti-tip floor bracket
to engage the anti-tip base bracket on the
refrigerator.
Gently roll the refrigerator back into
the cabinet opening until it comes
to a complete stop. Check to see if
the refrigerator front lines up with the
cabinet front face. If not, carefully rock
the refrigerator forward and backward
until engagement occurs and you notice
that the refrigerator is fully pushed up
against the rear wall.
OPTIONAL: Adjust the rear (and front)
wheel height settings to fully engage the
rear anti-tip brackets, while also aligning
the refrigerator front with the cabinet
front face.
