Opening Dimensions
The solid soffit must be within 1" (2.5 cm)
maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid
soffit is higher than 1" (2.5 cm) or one is not
available, then the refrigerator must be braced
to prevent tipping during use.
If the anti-tip boards are needed, they must be
attached to the rear wall studs 80" to 90" (203
- 229 cm) above the floor (see "Install Anti-Tip
Boards" for more information).
NOTE: A clearance of 1/2" (1.3 cm) must be
