INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Refrigerator

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.
IMPORTANT:
Do not remove the film covering until the refrigerator is in its
operating location.
All four leveling legs must contact the floor to support and
stabilize the full weight of the refrigerator.
Keep the cardboard shipping piece or plywood under the
refrigerator until it is installed in the operating location.
1. Remove and save the literature package bag taped to the
side of the refrigerator and the parts bag behind the grille.
Remove the four brackets (two on each side) that attach the
shipping base to the refrigerator bottom.
NOTE: Do not remove tape and door bracing until the
refrigerator is in its final location.
2. If necessary, reduce the tipping radius. See "Tipping Radius"
for ceiling height requirements or "Reduce Tipping Radius"
for step-by-step instructions. If you do not need to reduce the
tipping radius, proceed to "Move the Refrigerator into
House."

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).
