INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
UNPACK THE REFRIGERATOR
IMPORTANT:
Do not remove the film covering until the refrigerator
is in its operating location.
All four leveling legs must contact the floor 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 final 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).
