TIP OVER HAZARD
Appliance is top
heavy and tips easily
when not completely
installed. Keep doors
closed until appliance
is completely installed
and secured per installation instructions.
Use two or more people to move and
install appliance. Failure to do so can
result in death or serious injury.
Most of the unit’s weight is at the top. Extra
care is needed when moving the unit to
prevent tipping. Use cardboard shipping
material or plywood under unit until it is
installed in the operating position to protect
floor surface.
If you do not have adequate ceiling height to
stand the refrigerator upright, the tipping
radius can be reduced to 88-1/2” (224.8 cm)
by removing the top grille and side trims
Moving the Refrigerator into
House

of the refrigerator as shown. Place the
