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.
If Applicable: 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.

for any reason, make sure the anti-tip floor bracket is
engaged when the refrigerator is pushed back against
the rear wall.
