Fig. 29 A. 4 mm (3/16″) B. 2130 mm (83 7/8″) C. 2134 mm (4″) NOTE If you are not confident that the supplied connectors and anti-tip brackets are mounted on the wall as securely as they should be, you can use alternative anti- tip methods. If there is a cabinet panel behind the back wall of the refrigerator, make sure that it is securely fastened to the wall. For this, you need to be sure that the back wall of the cabinet panel is affixed to a wall stud. Alternative anti-tip method: If the anti-tip brackets cannot be mounted securely, you must use the alternative method below. For this method, you can use wooden boards to avoid the risk of tipping over. They must be installed as illustrated in the figure below. There must be no clearance between the appliance and the wooden support. The minimum section dimensions of the wooden support must be 76 mm x 102 mm (3″ x 4″). The width of the support must be equal to the clearance where it will be installed. This can be achieved using one 102 mm x 102 mm (4″ x 4″) or two 51 mm x 102 mm (2″ x 4″) pieces of framing lumber. The calculation of blocking depth is based on a standard niche depth. If the depth of the niche is greater than 610 mm (24″), ensure the blocking overlaps the upper rear fridge body by 51 mm (2″). Position the wooden support, mark the location on the rear wall, select suitable screws and mount it securely. WARNING The quantity and type of screws or fasteners to be used for affixing wooden blocking must be suitable for ensuring a secure connection to the rear wall.
