Anti-Tip Bracket Installation
A
n anti-tip bracket and hardware is provided with the wine

solid base to prevent tipover in case several loaded wine
shelves are extended at the same time.
If you are installing the model 427 or 427R in a space
deeper than 24" (610), the anti-tip bracket must be
installed no more than 24" (610) deep, so it engages the
unit properly. It is important that this measurement be
made from the front of the unit without panels, to the back
of the anti-tip bracket.
