POSITIONING THE REFRIGERATOR
4
TO ENGAGE THE ANTI-TIP FLOOR
AND BASE BRACKETS
Before pushing the refrigerator into the
A
opening, plug the power cord into the
receptacle and connect waterline (if equipped).
Check for leaks.
Locate the refrigerator's RH side and move
B
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.
C 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
D
height settings to fully engage the rear anti-tip
brackets, while also aligning the refrigerator
front with the cabinet front face.
NOTE:
If you pull the refrigerator out and away from the
wall for any reason, make sure the anti-tip floor
bracket is engaged when the refrigerator is pushed
back against the rear wall.
