STEP 8 SECURE UNIT TO WALL -
STANDARD INSTALLATION
ONLY
• 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 anti-tip 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.
STEP 9 ALTERNATE ANTI-TIP
PROCEDURE
The refrigerator must be secured to prevent tipping.
The anti-tip brackets cannot be used on metal wall
studs. Use this Alternate Procedure to secure the
refrigerator against tip-over whenever metal wall
studs are encountered and there is no soffit.
• 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" drywall screws into the pilot holes.
