adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator upright. See
"Tipping Radius" in the "Installation Requirements" section for
more information.
If you do not have adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator
upright, the tipping radius can be reduced by removing the top
grille and side trims (see the following chart).
