SECURING ThE REFRIGERATOR

After the refrigerator is put in place, (ensuring a combustion 

seal at the front frame), the refrigerator is to be secured in the 

enclosure with six screws (not included).

Please note that failure to follow the sequence in securing the 

refrigerator in the enclosure can cause leakage between the 

frame and cabinet. Any space between the counter, storage 

area or ceiling and top of the refrigerator greater than 40 

mm should be blocked. The heat produced at the rear of the 

refrigerator will become trapped in this space, making the 

top of the refrigerator hot and reduce the efficiency of the 

refrigerator.
The screws have to be installed in the following order:

Two screws installed through the front base and 

installation of the lower front strip. 

The front strip (shipped as a loose part ) is to be 

attached after the refrigerator is set into the cut-

out opening. Install the lower front strip by slid-

ing it under the bottom hinge plate. (The hinge 

plate can be on the right or left side depending on 

the door swing.) 
Once the lower front strip is slipped under the 

hinge, the part is possible to swing into place. 

Secure the refrigerator and the lower front strip 

with two screws: One screw through the hinge, 

and on the opposite side one screw through the 

lower front strip.
