9 ATTACH ANTI-TIP BRACKET IMPORTANT! Safety requires refrigerators be stable when doors and/or drawer, are open. An anti-tip bracket and fittings supplied must be fitted to the wall of the finished enclosure to withstand a 220.5 pound (100 kg) load. This will prevent the possibility of the appliance tipping forward, when doors and/or drawer, are open. When fastening with masonry plugs and/or screws: ●● Ensure the screws avoid electrical, gas and water conduits. ●● Ensure the surface the bracket is fastened to withstand a 220.5 pound (100 kg) load. ●● Ensure light-weight masonry material such as cinder block and new concrete (no curing time) are not used in installation. ●● Do not use metallic materials that may corrode, stain and/or damage the enclosure. WOODEN/PLASTER BOARD WALL INSTALLATION SOLID WALL INSTALLATION SPACER INSTALLATION 1 Project the end of the above finished enclosure to the center of the back wall and subtract 1 ¼" (31 mm). This will locate the contact surface between the bracket and the appliance (refer to A). Ensure a structural beam/wall stud closest to the center of the wall enclosure is located. 1 Project the end of the above finished enclosure to the center of the back wall and subtract 1 ¼" (31 mm). This will locate the contact surface between the bracket and the appliance (refer to A). If a minimum 2 3/8" (60 mm) overlap cannot be achieved we recommend fastening a solid spacer (wooden beam etc) behind the bracket. 1 Ensure the length of the spacer corresponds to the enclosure's width. Always secure the spacer to existing studs on the enclosure wall (refer to C). 1 1/4" (31 mm) 2 3/8" min.
