Inset Installation Dimensions

1. Measure the distance from point A (as shown) to the back 

wall. Add 

¹⁄₃₂

" (0.8 mm) to this measurement to allow the side 

panel to fit into the trim. 

2. If the panel is more than 

³⁄₈

" (9.5 mm) thick, route the front 

edge to allow the side panel to fit into the trim. 

Recessed Inset Installation Dimensions

1. Measure the distance from point A (as shown) to back wall. 

2. Route the front edge of the support board or attach a 

³⁄₈

(9.5 mm) board to hold the panel in the cabinet side trim. 

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Refrigerator

IMPORTANT: 

Do not remove the protective film until the refrigerator is in its 
operating position.

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 position.

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 position.

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). 

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 six screws attaching each cabinet side trim to 

the refrigerator and remove the side trims.
