opening, plug the power cord into the
A
receptacle and connect waterline (if equipped).
Check for leaks.
Locate the refrigerator's RH side and move back
approximately in line with the RH side of the

cabinet opening, W. This should position the
anti-tip floor bracket to engage the anti-tip base
bracket on the refrigerator.
Gently roll the refrigerator back into the cabinet
opening until it comes to a complete stop. Check to

see if the refrigerator front lines up with the cabinet
front face. If not, carefully rock the refrigerator
forward and backward until engagement occurs
and you notice that the refrigerator is fully pushed
up against the rear wall.

height settings to fully engage the rear anti-tip
Wall
brackets, while also aligning the refrigerator
