STEP 5 ANTI-TIP PROCEDURE

(CONT)

CONNECT POWER CORD:

• Before pushing the refrigerator into the opening, plug
the power cord into the receptacle. Open the grille
panel 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.

STEP 6 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” open-end wrench.

• Adjust height of
refrigerator to match
installation cutout opening
83-1/2” (212.09 cm) to
84-1/2” (10.16 cm). The
refrigerator should be
level and plumb with
cabinetry.

The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs are
limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1” (2.54 cm).
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 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 anti­tip 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.

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

• 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 9 ADJUST DOOR SWING

• 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
