9ATTACH ANTI-TIP BRACKET
IMPORTANT!
Safety requires refrigerators be stable when doors and/or drawer, are open. An anti-tip bracket and fittings supplied must be fitted to the wall of the finished enclosure to withstand
a220.5pound (100kg) load. This will prevent the possibility of the appliance tipping forward, when doors and/or drawer, are open.
When fastening with masonry plugs and/or screws:
 Ensure the screws avoid electrical, gas and water conduits.
 Ensure the surface the bracket is fastened to withstand a 220.5 pound (100 kg) load.
 Ensure light-weight masonry material such as cinder block and new concrete (no curing time) are not used in installation.
 Do not use metallic materials that may corrode, stain and/or damage the enclosure.
Spacer installation
If a minimum 2⅜” (60mm) overlap cannot be achieved
we recommend fastening a solid spacer (wooden beam etc)
behind the bracket.
1 Ensure the length of the spacer corresponds to the
enclosure’s width. Always secure the spacer to existing
studs on the enclosure wall (refer to C).
2Fix bracket to the wall with screws x4 (#10 x 40 pan head
Phillips screw). Ensure screws hold tight and the bracket
overlaps the appliance when it is positioned (2⅜” min.
(60mm)) for a secure hold.
Solid wall installation
1Project the end of the above finished enclosure to
the center of the back wall and subtract 1¼”(31mm).
This will locate the contact surface between the
bracket and the appliance (refer to A).
2 Fix bracket to the spacer with screws x4 (#10 x 40 pan
head Phillips screws). Ensure screws hold tight and the
bracket overlaps the appliance when it is positioned
(2⅜” min. (60mm)) for a secure hold.
Wooden/plaster board wall installation
1Project the end of the above finished enclosure to the
center of the back wall and subtract 1¼” (31 mm). This
will locate the contact surface between the bracket and
the appliance (refer to A).
Ensure a structural beam/wall stud closest to the center
of the wall enclosure is located.
2Mark screw locations to drill Ø ¼” x 1 ⅜” (Ø6.0 mm x 35 mm)
deep holes. Hammer masonry plugs into the wall until flush
x4. Fix bracket to the wall with screws x4 (#10 x 40 pan
