Move Refrigerator to Final Location
IMPORTANT:
■
To avoid floor damage, make sure levelers are raised (not
touching floor) and refrigerator is on rollers before moving.
■
Use the installation block, attached to the door hinge, as a
reference to make sure the refrigerator is pushed back far
enough into the opening, so that when the panels are installed
they will be flush with the adjacent cabinets.
■
After the refrigerator is leveled and aligned, remove the
installation block from the door hinge and use it to check the
spacing between the panels and adjacent cabinets.
NOTE: The installation block is designed to provide accurate
spacing for
³⁄₄
" (1.9 cm),
³⁄₈
" (9.53 mm) and
¹⁄₈
" (3.18 mm).
1. Place top of cardboard carton or plywood under refrigerator.
Remove dolly.
2. Move the refrigerator straight back and evenly into the
opening. Be sure that the water tubing is not kinked and the
power supply cord is on top of the refrigerator.
NOTE: If the power supply cord is behind the refrigerator, it
will not install properly.
3. Make sure the installation block is flush with the adjacent
cabinets.
NOTE: To achieve a flush installation, it is critical to verify a
³⁄₄
"
(1.9 cm) depth from the front face of the adjacent cabinetry to
the refrigerator.
Level and Align Refrigerator
IMPORTANT: All four leveling legs must contact the floor to
support and stabilize the full weight of refrigerator. Rollers are for
moving the refrigerator, not for permanent support.
After moving the refrigerator to its final location:
1. Use a
⁵⁄₁₆
" socket driver to turn the leveling bolts clockwise to
extend the legs to the floor as shown. The rollers should be off
the floor.
2. Adjust the leveling legs to level and align the refrigerator from
left to right and front to back so that the refrigerator is level
and aligned with the cabinets.
A. Adjacent cabinet or wall
