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.
OPTIONAL: 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.
