STEP 2C POSITION THE
REFRIGERATOR TO ENGAGE
THE ANTI-TIP FLOOR
AND BASE BRACKETS
A. Before pushing the refrigerator into the opening,
plug the power cord into the receptacle and
connect waterline (if equipped). Check for leaks.

settings to fully engage the rear anti-tip brackets,
while also aligning the refrigerator front with
the cabinet front face.
