14INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSInstalling the Refrigerator1. Position the line from the main water line to the refrig-erator so you can access it easily when connecting tothe refrigerator.2. Plug in the refrigerator power cord.3. Open the upper grill panel, and press the master powerswitch.4. Open the doors to verify that the light is on and therefrigerator is receiving power.5. Turn off the refrigerator, and attach the front levelinglegs. (You separated these legs from the kickplate in anearlier procedure.)6. Push the refrigerator into the cutout, ensuring the powercord is not pinched/kinked behind it.7. One after the other, attach a ratchet to the rod of a rearleveling leg (front-left/-right sides at the refrigeratorbase), and adjust the refrigerator height.8. In finalizing your adjustments, use a level tool to ensurethe refrigerator is level side-to-side and front-to-back).CAUTION• If you fully screw in the leveling legs, the refrigerator base willrest on the floor and may damage the floor when the appli-ance is moved.• The rear leveling legs are not designed for full extension. Donot extend the leveling legs past 3/4” (2 cm), or their threadswill be stripped under the refrigerator’s full weight, renderingthe legs useless.• Do not use a power drill to adjust the rear leveling legs.NOTEThe refrigerator must be level so the doors align properly at thetop, allowing them to open/close as designed.Installing the Anti-Tip BracketsThese brackets are a safety measure that keep the top-heavy refrigerator from falling out of its enclosure.1. Measure the distance from the floor to the top-rearsurface of the refrigerator.2. Using the measurement in Step 1, mark a level lineacross the cutout rear wall at the height at which youwill attach the brackets. (The mark should be wherethe bottom of the bracket arms overhang the top of therefrigerator so it fits under the brackets.)3. Snugly attach the anti-tip brackets to the back wall ofthe refrigerator cabinet.NOTEFor this refrigerator model, the distance from the floor to thebottom surface of the bracket overhang should be 81.75”(2076.5 mm), but be sure to double-check this measurement toavoid complicating the installation.NOTE: Alternate MethodUse this anti-tip method for steel wall-stud construction.1. (The refrigerator face is flush with the surrounding cabinetry)Adjust refrigerator height to just touch the cutout opening.2. Open the top grill panel to access the top case trim.3. With a 5mm bit, drill four evenly spaced holes across themetal upper-case trim.4. With a 2 mm bit, drill pilot holes through each hole in themetal into the wood trim above the refrigerator.5. Install a 38 mm drywall screw into each pilot hole.
