NOTE: If an anti-tip board has been used, adjust the leveling
legs until the top of the refrigerator is within
¹⁄₄
" (6.35 mm) of
the bottom of the anti-tip board as shown. Do not crush the
compressor cover.
IMPORTANT: Adjust in small increments to keep from
damaging the cabinet trim and causing problems with the
door alignment or top grille fit. To avoid damage to the cabinet
or leveling legs, do not apply more than 50 inch-pounds
(5.65 Nm) of torque to the leveling bolts. The leveling legs can
be extended to a maximum of 1
¹⁄₄
" (3.18 cm) below the rollers.
4. After leveling the refrigerator, use a straight edge or 4 foot
level going across the front of the refrigerator installation to
the cabinets to check that the refrigerator is still flush.
Install Refrigerator and Overlay Panels
IMPORTANT: Jenn-Air is not responsible for the removal or
addition of molding or overlay panels that would not allow access
to the refrigerator for service.
Install Refrigerator to Adjacent Cabinets
1. Open the refrigerator door(s) and freezer drawer. On the hinge
side(s), locate the cabinet brackets in the space between the
door(s) and the refrigerator and the drawer and refrigerator.
2. Using the holes in the brackets as a template, predrill
¹⁄₈
" deep
pilot holes into the adjacent cabinet.
3. Using two round head screws (provided) for each bracket,
insert the screws through the cabinet brackets and into the
adjacent cabinetry to anchor the refrigerator.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to anchor the other side of the
refrigerator to the adjacent cabinetry.
Install Cabinet Side Trims
Install cabinet side trims to hide the brackets fastening the
refrigerator to the adjacent cabinets.
1. Open the door(s) to a 90° angle.
2. With the lip edge of the trim toward the back wall, insert the
cabinet side trim between the side of the refrigerator and the
adjacent cabinetry.
NOTE: Keep the top edge of the trim piece flush with the top
of the refrigerator. Installing the trim higher than the
refrigerator top could cause damage to the trim when the door
is opened.
3. Slide the trim toward the back until it snaps into place.
Install Top Grille Filler (standard installation only)
IMPORTANT: The grille panel height allows the necessary airflow
for refrigerator performance. The top grille filler hides the upper
compartment cover behind the top grille. If you choose to modify
the recommended grille panel dimensions, performance will be
compromised.
Custom Wood Panel Models
1. In the custom made (1" x width of grille panel) wood filler
piece, drill a hole
¹¹⁄₁₆
" from each edge.
NOTE: Make sure the hole is centered in the 1" thickness of
the wood piece.
2. Using slotted hex head screws (provided), fasten an “L”
bracket to each end of the wood filler piece.
3. Using hex head blunt screws (provided), attach the “L”
brackets to the top grille mounting plates.
4. Adjust the “L” brackets, so that the wood filler piece is flush
with the bottom of the soffit. Completely tighten the screws.
