For all full height door panel installations, the secondary anti-tip board is required to be installed prior to door panel installation.
This anti-tip board is to be secured on the right side of the cabinet enclosure as per the dimensions shown in illustration.
NOTE: Anti-tip board is required as an addition to the rear wall anti-tip board (for open to ceiling installation) described in the installation instructions provided with the refrigerator.
Secure the secondary anti-tip board so that the bottom surface of the secondary anti-tip board is 751/2" (191.77 cm) from the floor (right hand side).
10 | SITE PREPARATION
The main anti-tip boards for open to ceiling installation are secured at 84" (213.36 cm) from the floor (rear side).
During panel installation, raise the refrigerator up until the top of the refrigerator is making contact with the bottom of the secondary anti-tip board.
INSTALLING THE SECONDARY ANTITIP BOARD
1.Mark the stud locations on right hand side cabinet wall.
2.Securely attach one 2" x 4" x 12" (5 cm x 10 cm x 30.4 cm) board to the cabinet on right hand side cabinet using wood screws. Use three
