Standard Installation - Flush Grille
IMPORTANT: The grille panel height, shown in the Standard
Installation Flush Grille graphic, allows for an air gap critical to
refrigerator performance.
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.
Move the Refrigerator into House
1. Place an appliance dolly under the left side of the refrigerator
as shown. Place the corner posts from the packing materials
over the trims as appropriate. Slowly tighten the strap.
2. Place pieces of the shipping carton on the floor when rolling
the dolly and refrigerator into the house. Move the refrigerator
close to the built-in opening.
3. Place top of cardboard carton or plywood under refrigerator.
4. Stand the refrigerator up. First, place the left bottom edge of
the refrigerator on the floor, stand the refrigerator upright and
then lower the right-hand side of the refrigerator to the floor.
5. Reassemble the trim and top grille after the dolly has been
removed from the refrigerator.
Install Anti-Tip Boards
IMPORTANT:
■
If a solid soffit is not available, an anti-tip board must be
installed.
■
It is recommended that board(s) be installed before the
refrigerator is installed.
■
Board(s) must be long enough to fully cover the width of the
compressor cover.
■
Locate the board(s) so the bottom surface(s) of the board(s)
is(are) 84" (213 cm) from the floor.
■
During installation, raise the refrigerator up so there is
¹⁄₄
" (6.35 mm) maximum between the top of the refrigerator
and the bottom of the anti-tip board(s). Do not crush the
compressor cover when raising the rear leveling legs.
