INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installing the Refrigerator
1. Position the line from the main water line to the refrig-
erator so you can access it easily when connecting to
the refrigerator.
2. Plug in the refrigerator power cord.
3. Open the upper grill panel, and press the master power
switch.
4. Open the doors to verify that the light is on and the
refrigerator is receiving power.
5. Turn off the refrigerator, and attach the front leveling
legs. (You separated these legs from the kickplate in an
earlier procedure.)
6. Push the refrigerator into the cutout, ensuring the power
cord is not pinched/kinked behind it.
7. One after the other, attach a ratchet to the rod of a rear
leveling leg (front-left/-right sides at the refrigerator
base), and adjust the refrigerator height.
8. In finalizing your adjustments, use a level tool to ensure
the refrigerator is level side-to-side and front-to-back).
CAUTION
• If you fully screw in the leveling legs, the refrigerator base will
rest on the oor and may damage the oor when the appli-
ance is moved.
• The rear leveling legs are not designed for full extension. Do
not extend the leveling legs past 3/4” (2 cm), or their threads
will be stripped under the refrigerator’s full weight, rendering
the legs useless.
• Do not use a power drill to adjust the rear leveling legs.
NOTE
The refrigerator must be level so the doors align properly at the
top, allowing them to open/close as designed.
Installing the Anti-Tip Brackets
These brackets are a safety measure that keep the top-
heavy refrigerator from falling out of its enclosure.
1. Measure the distance from the floor to the top-rear
surface of the refrigerator.
2. Using the measurement in Step 1, mark a level line
across the cutout rear wall at the height at which you
will attach the brackets. (The mark should be where
the bottom of the bracket arms overhang the top of the
refrigerator so it fits under the brackets.)
3. Snugly attach the anti-tip brackets to the back wall of
the refrigerator cabinet.
NOTE
For this refrigerator model, the distance from the floor to the
bottom surface of the bracket overhang should be 81.75”
(2076.5 mm), but be sure to double-check this measurement to
avoid complicating the installation.
NOTE: Alternate Method
Use this anti-tip method for steel wall-stud construction.
1. (The refrigerator face is flush with the surrounding cabinetry)
Adjust refrigerator height to just touch the cutout opening.
2. Open the top grill panel to access the top case trim.
3. With a 5mm bit, drill four evenly spaced holes across the
metal upper-case trim.
4. With a 2 mm bit, drill pilot holes through each hole in the
metal into the wood trim above the refrigerator.
5. Install a 38 mm drywall screw into each pilot hole.
