Instructions
WARNING
Built-in style models (model PYE, CYE, GYE, DYE, PWE,
CWE, and ZWE) are top heavy, especially with any
doors open. These models must be secured with the
anti-tip floor bracket to prevent tipping forward, which
could result in death or serious injury. Read and follow
the entire installation instructions for installing the
anti-tip floor bracket packed with your refrigerator.
NOTE:
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your
purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no
cost. (In Canada, call 1.800.561.3344.)
