Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to lift the appliance door.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
NOTE: This may require two people, one to lift the door and
the other to feed the water tubing and wiring into the bottom

IMPORTANT: Rest the door on its side on a soft, clean
surface, such as a towel, blanket, or piece of cardboard. This
will help to avoid scratching or damaging the door, water
tubing, and wiring.
