If boards are placed before installation of refrigerator, locate boards so the bottom surface of the boards are 84 inches (213 cm) from the floor. During installation, raise the refrigerator up so there is l/4 inch (6 mm) maximum between top of refrigerator and bottom of anti-tip boards.

If solid soffit is 1 inch (2.5 cm) above refrigerator, anti-tip wood boards are not required.

If solid soffit is not available or soffit is more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) above cover, center wood boards on rear wall l/4 inch (6 mm) maximum above refrigerator. Attach wood boards to wall studs with wood screws - making sure that screws are engaged in wall studs l-l /2 inch (3.8 cm) minimum and that boards extend 2 inches (5 cm) minimum over the top rear of refrigerator compressor cover.
