Anti-Tip Floor Bracket Installation (Models PYE, CYE, GYE, PWE, CWE, and ZWE only)
WARNING
Built-in style models (model PYE, CYE, GYE, PWE,
CWE, and ZWE) are top heavy, especially with any
doors open. These models must be secured with
the anti-tip floor bracket to prevent tipping forward,
which could result in death or serious injury. Read
and follow the entire installation instructions for
installing the anti-tip floor bracket packed with your
refrigerator.

If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your
purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no
cost. (In Canada, call 1.800.561.3344.)
