Move the Refrigerator into House

WARNING
Tip Over Hazard
Refrigerator is top heavy and tips easily when not
completely installed.
Keep doors taped closed until refrigerator is
completely installed.
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or serious injury.

2. Place pieces of the shipping carton on the floor when rolling
the dolly and refrigerator into the house. Move the 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.

Install Anti-Tip Boards

IMPORTANT:
If a solid soffit is not available, anti-tip boards must be
■
installed.
It is recommended that boards be installed before the
■
refrigerator is installed.
Boards must be long enough to fully cover the width of the
■
compressor cover.
Place the boards so that the bottom surfaces of the boards are
■
84" (213 cm) from the floor.
During installation, raise the refrigerator up until the top of the
■
refrigerator is making contact with the bottom of the anti-tip
boards. Do not crush the compressor cover when raising the
rear leveling legs.
NOTE: The foam gasket, on top of the compressor cover, will
compress to fit under the anti-tip board(s). There is no need to
trim the gasket.
