CAUTION
The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs are
limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1”. If the
installation requires more than 84-1/2”height, the
installer should elevate the refrigerator on a sheet
of plywood or runners. Cabinetry trim could also be
added across the top of the opening to shorten the
opening. If you attempt to raise the refrigerator more
than 1”, you will damage the front leveling legs and the
rear leveling wheels.

STEP 4 ANIT-TIP PROCEDURE (Cont)
CONNECT POWER CORD:
• Before pushing the refrigerator into the opening,
plug the power cord into the receptacle. Open the
grille panel and reach into the opening at the back
to grasp the power cord. Pull the power cord into the
opening as you push the refrigerator back.
• Gently push refrigerator into the opening with hands
against front corners.
IMPORTANT: When the refrigerator is installed under
a soffit or if there is not enough height for this method
of security, brackets cannot be used. Proceed to step
6 to level the refrigerator and then to step 8 to secure
refrigerator to cabinets. See step 9 if you have metal
wall studs. The refrigerator must be secured to prevent
tipping.

STEP 6 SECURE UNIT TO WALL
• The “L” rod can be found in the upper left corner of
the unit in the access compartment. Look through the
access compartment to make sure the rod lines up
with the anti-tip bracket.
• There are 2 washers and a hair pin cotter with the rod.
Remove the washers and hair pin cotter from the end
of the rod.
• Rotate and move the
“L” rod into the slot in
the anti-tip bracket
tab. Once it is in the
slot, rotate the “L” rod
so the hook portion
is pointing down. The
holes at the front end
of the rod should be in
a vertical position.
• Pull out on the end of
the rod to make sure it
is secure in the bracket.
• Locate the hole on the rod that is closest to the unit. A
hair pin cotter will be put through this hole to secure
the rod. If this hole appears to be too far away for a
snug fit against the unit, add the washers one at a time
until the pin will fit tightly into the hole.
• Align the straight section of the pin with the hole
from the underside of the rod. Push the pin up until
it snaps into position. Pliers may be used. NOTE: The
hair pin cotter must
be vertical when this
step is completed to
ensure the “L”
rod is engaged in
the bracket.
• Check the rod for
tightness by pulling
forward. If the rod
moves, remove the
hair pin cotter and
place another washer
on the rod. Reinsert
the pin.

STEP 7 ALTERNATE ANTI-TIP
PROCEDURE
The refrigerator must be secured to prevent tipping.
If the anti-tip bracket cannot be used, this alternate
procedure may be used to secure the refrigerator
against tip-over
• Raise the grille panel to access case trim.
• Use a 3/16” bit to drill four evenly spaced clearance
holes through the metal top case trim.
• Use a 1/16” bit to drill to pilot holes through the metal
clearance holes and into the wood soffit. The holes
should be centered in the soffit or a 3/4” min. wood
brace. The brace spanning the enclosure must be
securely fastened to cabinets on both sides.
• Install four, 1-1/2” drywall screws into the pilot holes.
• If no soffit above the unit, drill screws into adjacent
cabinets through the side case trim.
STEP 8 ADJUST DOOR SWING
NOTE: This refrigerator has a 3-position door stop.
When space does not allow the door to swing open
fully to 115°, you may change the door swing to a 90°
opening. A 130° door swing is available for standard
installation only. If used for flush installation, damage
will occur to wood panels. Skip this step if door
opening is satisfactory for your installation situation.
• Lift the grille panel to access the wire cover trim.
• Remove screws on both sides of the wire cover trim
and rotate off.
• Use pliers to unscrew door stop and reinstall into the
90° or 130° position.
• Reinstall the wire cover trim.
