IMPORTANT:
■ To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within 1"
(2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit is
higher than 1" (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then the
refrigerator must be braced.
■ It is recommended that board(s) be installed before the
refrigerator is installed.
■ Board(s) must be long enough to fully cover the width of the
compressor cover.
■ Locate the board(s) so the bottom surface(s) of the board(s)
is(are) 84" (213 cm) from the floor.
■ During installation, raise the refrigerator up so there is ¹⁄₄"
(6.35 mm) maximum between the top of the refrigerator and
the bottom of the anti-tip board(s). Do not crush the
compressor cover when raising the rear leveling legs.
To Install Anti-tip Boards
1. Mark the stud locations on rear wall 80" to 90" (203 cm to
229 cm) above floor.
2. Securely attach one or 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
board(s) must overlap the compressor cover.
