BLOCKING FOR SAFETY
Step 7: If there is a solid soffit above the unit with clear-
ance between the unit and the soffit of 1" (25) or less, you
won't need to block the unit. See illustration 6. But for
installations with clearances of more than 1" (25), you must
block the unit.
Use the anti-tip kit (wood block and hardware) provided
with the shipping crate. Locate and mark two wall studs
against the wall where the refrigerator will be located.
Next, locate the proper height to clear the unit. The space
between the unit top and the bottom of the wood block
must not be more than 1/4" (6).
Position the wood block over the unit and use the screws
and "L" brackets to lock it in place. Make sure the screws
extend a minimum of 7/8" (22) into each of the two wall
studs. Make sure the wood block extends at least 3" (76)
over the unit and is securely in place. Refer to illustration 7.
Using the front and rear levelers, raise the unit until it
makes contact with the wood block.
Make sure that the front levelers are firmly on the floor, to
reduce the possibility of the cabinet tipping forward.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If at all possible, keep door(s) closed
on the unit until it is properly anchored.
To prevent the unit from tipping forward and provide a
stable installation, the unit must be secured in place
with an anti-tip device.
