LOCATING THE ANTI-TIP
FLOOR BRACKET
Place the anti-tip floor bracket locator template
(included inside the anti-tip kit) onto the floor
up against the rear wall, within W and in line
with the desired location of the RH side
of the refrigerator (see Figure 1).
Place the anti-tip floor bracket onto the locator
template with its RH floor holes lined up with
the floor holes indicated on the template sheet,
approximately 6
5 ⁄
8
″ from the edge of the sheet
or the RH side of the refrigerator.
Hold the template down in position and use the
anti-tip floor bracket as a template for marking
the holes based upon your configuration
and type of construction as shown in Step 3.
Mark the hole locations with a pencil, nail
or awl.
NOTE: It is REQUIRED to use at least 2 screws
to mount the floor bracket (one on each side
of the anti-tip floor bracket). Both must be into
either the wall or the floor. Figure 2 indicates
all the acceptable mounting configurations for
screws. Identify the screw holes on the anti-tip
floor bracket for your configuration.
