To avoid danger of the appliance tipping over it is mandatory to secure
the appliance to the wall by means of the two provided brackets, or if the
brackets are not accessible, by means of a wood block at the rear wall of
the enclosure.
MOUNTING SAFETY ANTI-TIP BRACKETS - All except KRP series MOUNTING SAFETY ANTI-TIP BRACKETS - All except KRP series
When using the anti-tip brackets, they should be applied as
illustrated using the provided screws and wall anchors.
1) Find the mounting holes on top of the appliance, and
determine how the bracket must align with the wall.
2) Mark the wall where the holes are needed.
3) Drill the wall with an 5/16" [8 mm] bit and insert the wall
anchor.
4) Position the bracket and secure it first to the appliance, then
to the wall.
In addition, it is suggested:
• The side trim pieces on both sides must be secured to the
unit with the provided screws
• The side trim pieces must be screwed to the cabinets at all
provided attachment points.
• The cabinet must be securely attached to the wall to assure
the stability of the appliance.
When two units are installed together, the anti-tip brackets are
required for each of them.
In addition, the correct joining kit must be installed and the
units must be secured to the adjoining cabinets by means of the
side trim pieces, as above.
REAR WALL BLOCKING - All units REAR WALL BLOCKING - All units
If your cabinetry/enclosure makes the anti-tip
brackets inaccessible, you may attach wood
blocking at the rear wall of the enclosure. Place
the block about 1/8-1/4" [3-6mm] above the final
height of the rear of the fridge, and attach with
appropriate fasteners into the wall studs. Drywall
anchors / toggle bolts are not recommended and
can rip out of the wall.
When the fridge is moved into its final position
and the legs adjusted, the top of the fridge can
make contact with the wood block, thus securing
the unit from tipping.
