• For the most secure installation, use a stud-finder to secure the anti-tip brackets in wall studs. If no studs are present at the correct installation location, follow the instructions below.

WARNING:

Always make sure that the area to be drilled into is free of any waterlines or electrical circuits, which could cause damage, injury, or death.

• Use a drill to create holes for wall anchors (#2) at the marked points. (5/16", 08)

• Use a hammer to install the wall anchors (#2) if no stud is present.

• Install the brackets (#1) in place, using 4 screws for each.

You must use both (two) brackets to ensure that the appliance is safely supported.

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.

EN

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.

T minimum section dimensions of the wooden support must be 3'' × 4'' (76 mm x 102 mm). T width of the support must be equal to the clearance where it will be installed. This can be achieved using one 4'' × 4'' (102 mm x 102 mm) or two 2'' × 4'' (51 mm x 102 mm) 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 24^ (610 mm), ensure the blocking overlaps the upper rear fridge body by 2^ (51 mm).

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.

3.3 Preparing the Water Hose and the Electrical Connection

Inspect all water connections for leaks. Water leaks can cause significant damage over time. It is recommended to use a 1/4'' water line with a minimum length of 60'' (1.5 meters) with a threaded 1/4'' female connector end. Before finishing the installation, turn the water on to ensure that water is flowing and that there are no leaks.

A connector that has a thread with an external diameter of 14 must be used to connect the end of the hose to the product.

Allow for sufficient slack in the water supply line, providing a minimum of 10^ of length from the base of the unit once it is installed in the niche. This provides some allowance for connections and adjustments if needed.

The product must be connected to a 3-prong outlet on a dedicated 15 amp circuit; local electrical and building codes should be respected.

You can choose method A or method B below to prevent the power cord from getting wedged in.

Method A: Position the water hose and the power supply connections on the back.

Method B: Position the water hose and power supply connections on the side.
