Instructions for Assembling STACK15 (with Anti-Tip Bracket)

to Stabilize Stacked Combinati on of FF153 8 B a nd S CFF1537 B

(Professional assembly recommended)

Stacking the FF1538B refrigerator with the SCFF1537B freezer is a convenient way to save space. To be
sure that the stacked combination is stable, it is necessary to secure the refrigerator to the freezer (using
the STACK15 accessory set), and to prevent tipping of the stacked combination (with the Anti-Tip
Bracket). These pages explain how to do that.

The diagram below shows how the Front and Back Stacking Brackets and the Anti-Tip Bracket fit into the
total assembly. The Upper Appliance can be either the refrigerator FF1538B or the freezer SCFF1537B.

Before stacking the two appliances, the Anti-Tip Bracket should be screwed into place. Follow these
instructions:

Anti-Tip Bracket: Once this bracket is screwed into the wall or floor at the rear of the final location of the
assembly, the combination of appliances is slid backward so that the bracket is secured in the grillwork on
the back of the lower app li a nce, on the lower right side. To make this possible, it may be necessary to cut
away part of the grillwork of the lower appliance, as shown in the photographs here and on the next page.

Fig. 2 shows the grillwork at the back of the lower appliance before it is cut. Fig. 3 shows how the Anti-Tip

Bracket may be blocked from slipping through the grillwork before the cutting pr o cedur e.

If cutting is required, you will have to use a sturdy pair of wire cutters to snip the grillwork (see Fig. 4) so
that the two prongs of the Anti-Tip Bracket can be slid into the back of the lower applianc e (Fig. 5).

After cutting the grillwork to size, screw the An ti-Tip Bracket into place, and before stacking the two
appliances together, be sure the lower appliance can be slid into the proper location to connect with the
Bracket.

Back and Front Stacking Brackets: The pictures below show the two Back Brackets and the Front
Bracket with their white protective covers still in place.

Back brackets Front bracket, top Front bracket, bottom

There are two Back Brackets, one for the right side of the assembly and one for the left. Remove the
white protective covers from the Velcro patches on both Back Brackets. Attach the Back Brackets to the
lower appliance. Use Fig. 1 as a guide. The left edge of the left bracket should align with the left edge of
the lower appliance; similarly, the right edge of the right bracket should align with the right edge of the
lower appliance. Lift the upper appliance into place, lowering it onto the Back Brackets. It should be
centered so that the rear adjustable legs are positioned directly on top of the large right-angle flange on
each of the Back Brackets. Slide the upper appliance back slightly so the Velcro patches make good
contact.

Fig. 4 Fig. 5

Peel the protective covers from the Velcro patches on the Front Bracket. While tilting the upper appliance
slightly backward, place the Front Bracket on the lower front edge of the upper appliance, so that the
Velcro makes contact and the long right-angle flange is positioned below the adjustable front legs of the
upper appliance. (See Fig. 1.) When the upper appliance is set vertical again, its weight secures the
Velcro patches below the front legs. The refrigerator and freezer are now firmly joined. No screws are
needed.

Slide the complete assembly into its final position, allowing the Anti-Tip Bracket to pass through the grill at
the back of the lower appliance. Check that the assembly cannot be tilted forward.
