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

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
