Installation Instructions - Standard Installation
STEP 4 ANIT-TIP PROCEDURE (Cont)
CONNECT POWER CORD:
• Before pushing the refrigerator into the opening,
plug the power cord into the receptacle. Open the
grille panel and reach into the opening at the back
to grasp the power cord. Pull the power cord into the
opening as you push the refrigerator back.
• Gently push refrigerator into the opening with hands
against front corners.
IMPORTANT: When the refrigerator is installed under
a soffit or if there is not enough height for this method
of security, brackets cannot be used. Proceed to step
6 to level the refrigerator and then to step 8 to secure
refrigerator to cabinets. See step 9 if you have metal
wall studs. The refrigerator must be secured to prevent
tipping.
STEP 5 LEVEL REFRIGERATOR
All models have 4-point leveling. The front is supported
by leveling legs, the rear is supported by adjustable
wheels. Both are accessible from the front of the
refrigerator.
• To level the back of the refrigerator, turn the 7/16" hex
nut located above the front wheels. Turn clockwise to
raise or counterclockwise to lower the refrigerator.
• For front leveling, use a 1-1/4" open-end wrench.
• Adjust height of refrigerator to match installation
cutout opening 83-1/2 to 84-1/2". The refrigerator
should be level and plumb with cabinetry.
CAUTION
The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs are
limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1". If the
installation requires more than 84-1/2" height, the
installer should elevate the refrigerator on a sheet
of plywood or runners. Cabinetry trim could also be
added across the top of the opening to shorten the
opening. If you attempt to raise the refrigerator more
than 1", you will damage the front leveling legs and the
rear leveling wheels.
STEP 5 LEVEL REFRIGERATOR (Cont)
ATTENTION
Les roues de nivellement arrière et les pattes de
nivellement avant permettent un réglage maximal de
25 mm (1 po). Si l'ouverture pour le réfrigérateur a une
hauteur supérieure à 2,15 m (84-1/2 po), l'installateur doit
élever le réfrigérateur sur une feuille de contre-plaqué
ou des glissières. Il est également possible d'ajouter
des baguettes de finition des placards sur le haut de
l'ouverture afin de la réduire. Lever le réfrigérateur
de plus de 25 mm (1 po) endommage les pattes de
nivellement avant et les roues de nivellement arrière.
STEP 6 SECURE UNIT TO WALL
• The "L" rod can be found in the upper left corner of
the unit in the access compartment. Look through the
access compartment to make sure the rod lines up
with the anti-tip bracket.
• There are 2 washers and a hair pin cotter with the rod.
Remove the washers and hair pin cotter from the end
of the rod.
• Rotate and move the
"L" rod into the slot in
the anti-tip bracket
tab. Once it is in the
slot, rotate the "L" rod
so the hook portion
is pointing down. The
holes at the front end
of the rod should be in
a vertical position.
• Pull out on the end of
the rod to make sure
is secure in the bracket.
• Locate the hole on the rod that is closest to the unit. A
hair pin cotter will be put through this hole to secure
the rod. If this hole appears to be too far away for a
snug fit against the unit, add the washers one at a time
until the pin will fit tightly into the hole.
• Align the straight section of the pin with the hole
from the underside of the rod. Push the pin up until
it snaps into position. Pliers may be used. NOTE: The
hair pin cotter must
be vertical when this
step is completed
ensure the "L"
rod is engaged
the bracket.
• Check the rod for
tightness by pulling
forward. If the rod
moves, remove the
hair pin cotter and
place another washer
on the rod. Reinsert
the pin.
