LOCATING THE ANTI-TIP
FLOOR BRACKET
Place the anti-tip floor bracket locator template
(included inside the anti-tip kit) onto the floor
up against the rear wall, within W, and in line
with the desired location of the RH side of the
refrigerator (see Figure 1).
Place the anti-tip floor bracket onto the locator
template with its RH floor holes lined up with
the floor holes indicated on the template sheet,
approximately 7 1 ⁄
4
from the edge of the sheet
or the RH side of the refrigerator.
Hold down in position and use the anti-tip floor
bracket as a template for marking the holes
based upon your configuration and type of
construction as shown in Step 3. Mark the hole
locations with a pencil, nail or awl.
NOTE:
• It is REQUIRED to use at least 2 screws to
mount the floor bracket (one on each side of
the anti-tip floor bracket). Both must be into
either the wall or the floor. Figure 2 indicates
all the acceptable mounting configurations
for screws. Identify the screw holes on the
anti-tip floor bracket for your configuration.
