INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Refrigerator
IMPORTANT:
■ Do not remove the lm covering until the refrigerator is in its
operating location.
■ All four leveling legs must contact the oor to support and
stabilize the full weight of the refrigerator.
■ Keep the cardboard shipping piece or plywood under the
refrigerator until it is installed in the operating location.
1. Remove and save the literature package bag taped to the side
of the refrigerator and the parts bag behind the grille. Remove
the four brackets (two on each side) that attach the shipping
base to the refrigerator bottom.
NOTE: Do not remove tape and door bracing until the
refrigerator is in its nal location.
2. If necessary, reduce the tipping radius. See “Tipping Radius”
for ceiling height requirements or “Reduce Tipping Radius”
for step-by-step instructions. If you do not need to reduce the
tipping radius, proceed to “Move the Refrigerator into House.”
Reduce Tipping Radius
(if required)
Before bringing the refrigerator into the home, be sure there is
adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator upright. See
“Tipping Radius” in the “Installation Requirements” section for
more information.
If you do not have adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator
upright, the tipping radius can be reduced by removing the top
grille and side trims (see the following chart).
Model Reduced Tipping Radius
36" 89" (226.1 cm)
42" 90" (228.6 cm)
1. Grasp both ends of the top grille.
2. Push the top grille straight up; then pull straight out. Lay the
grille on a soft surface.
3. Remove the 6 screws attaching each cabinet side trim to the
refrigerator and remove the side trims.
Move the Refrigerator into House
1. Place an appliance dolly under the left-hand side of the
refrigerator as shown. Place the corner posts from the
