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.
