this point on the wall.
• Using a level, draw a horizontal line on the wall at this
height.

STEP 4 ANIT-TIP PROCEDURE (CONT)
• Locate at least 2 studs on the back wall. Mark these
points on the horizontal line.
• Place the bottom of the wall bracket with tabs on the
horizontal line. Align the center notch on the bracket
with the center line on the wall.

Center
• The anti-tip wall bracket has a series of holes. Select 2
holes that match with the located studs. Make sure the
holes selected are on the center of the studs. Mark the
wall at these points.
• Mark an additional hole at each end of the bracket.
If one of the studs is closer to the end of the bracket,
mark an additional hole towards the center of the
bracket.
• Drill 1/2” (1.27 cm) holes into the wall board at the
locations marked for the toggles to be mounted (not the
stud markings).
• Drill 3/16” (0.47 cm)holes into wooden studs where
marked. If steel stud construction, drill 1/2” holes into
the studs where marked. You will use 2 toggles with
the metal studs.

The wall toggles and bolts can be ordered as Service Kit
#WR49X10193. Wall toggles are installed in the drywall
and metal studs for stability. Install the wall toggles as
follows:
• Drill 1/2” (1.27 cm) holes at the wall markings made in
the holes at the ends of the wall bracket.
• Hold the metal channel flat against the plastic straps
and slide the channel through the hole.

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 on the left 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 5 LEVEL REFRIGERATOR
All models have 4-point leveling. The front is supported
by leveling legs, the rear is supported by adjustable
wheels. Both are accessible from the front of the
refrigerator.
• To level the back of the refrigerator, turn the 7/16” hex
nut located above the front wheels. Turn clockwise to
raise or counterclockwise to lower the refrigerator.
• For front leveling, use a 1-1/4” (3.175 cm) open-end
wrench.
• Adjust height of
refrigerator to match
installation cutout
opening 83-1/2”
(212.09 cm) to
84-1/2” (214.63 cm).
The refrigerator
should be level and
plumb with cabinetry.
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.
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” (214.63 cm) 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” (2.54 cm),
you will damage the front leveling legs and the rear
leveling wheels.

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
3/4” Min.
Top Case Trim
Install four 1-1/2” drywall screws through
trim and into soffit or 3/4” min. wood brace
• 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” (3.81 cm) 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.
