Move Refrigerator to Final Location
IMPORTANT: To prevent floor damage, make sure levelers are
raised (not touching floor) and refrigerator is on rollers before
moving.
1. Move the refrigerator straight back and evenly into the
opening. Be sure that water tubing is not kinked and the
power supply cord is on top of the refrigerator next to the
cover.
Lower Leveling Legs
NOTE: All four leveling legs must contact the floor to support and
stabilize the full weight of refrigerator. Rollers are for moving
refrigerator and not for permanent support.
Use socket wrench to turn leg levelers on both sides of
refrigerator to the right (clockwise) until refrigerator weight is
supported by leveling legs. The rollers should be off the floor. To
avoid cabinet damage, do not apply more than 50 inch-pounds
(58 cm - kg) of torque to the leveling legs.
Install Classic Series Custom Panels
IMPORTANT: KitchenAid is not responsible for the removal or
addition of molding or decorative panels that would prevent the
refrigerator from being serviced.
Door Panels
1. Remove all tape and door bracing from the refrigerator and
freezer doors.
2. Remove the screws that attach the handles to the door
frame.
3. Slide the decorative door panels into the door frames.
4. If needed, rout the door panels or install a filler panel between
the doors and the decorative panels. See the “Classic Series
Custom Panels” section in “Design Specifications.”
5. Replace the door handles. Install the top screw on each
handle first. Be sure that the top of both door handles are
aligned.
6. If the door handles are not aligned, loosen all handle screws
and adjust door handles up or down. Tighten the screws.
