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 protective film until the refrigerator is in its

operating position.

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 position.

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 position.

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).
