Reduce Tipping Radius

(if required)
Before bringing the refrigerator into the home, be sure there is
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).

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.
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 and handles as appropriate to avoid damage.
Slowly tighten the strap.

NOTE: Pass the dolly strap under the handles for the
Stainless Series.
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:
■ To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within
1" (2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit
is higher than 1" (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then the
refrigerator must be braced.
■ 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.
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.
