installed.
It is recommended that board(s) be installed before the

Board(s) must be long enough to fully cover the width of the
compressor cover.

Locate the board(s) so the bottom surface(s) of the board(s)
is(are) 84" (213 cm) from the floor.
During installation, raise the refrigerator up until the top of the
refrigerator is making contact with the bottom of the anti-tip
board(s). Do not crush the compressor cover when raising the
rear leveling legs.
