• Purchase flexible earthquake appliance straps at hardware stores or online, and follow the included instructions.
• Choose if you will attach the straps at the top or on the sides (at about 2/3 the height) of the refrigerator.
• Use a stud finder to locate the studs within the wall behind the refrigerator, near where you will place the straps. The wall attachment locations can be concealed behind the refrigerator.
• Use included screws to secure each strap to the wall.
• Clean the surface where the adhesive of the fastener (bracket or Velcro) will be placed using the included alcohol pad.
• Remove plastic from the adhesive pad and place the pad in position. Press down hard for thirty seconds. Leave undisturbed for 72 hours in order for the adhesive to form a secure bond.
• Connect the free end of the strap to the fastener base.

NOTE: If your refrigerator is within a cabinet and you cannot connect straps to walls, most likely it will not tip over.
