  POSITIONING THE REFRIGERATOR 

TO ENGAGE THE ANTI-TIP FLOOR 

AND BASE BRACKETS

Before pushing the refrigerator into the opening, 

plug the power cord into the 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.
If Applicable: Adjust the rear (and front) wheel 

height settings to fully engage the rear anti-tip 

brackets, while also aligning the refrigerator 

front with the cabinet front face.
