REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. Failure to follow this instruction can result in back or other injury. To avoid personal injury, wear gloves when performing any installation procedure and wear eye protection when cutting metal straps.

TIP OVER HAZARD

Refrigerator is top heavy and tips easily when not completely installed. Keep doors closed until refrigerator is completely installed and secured with lag bolts to rear wall.

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or serious injury.

Most of the refrigerator’s weight is at the top. Extra care is needed when moving the refrigerator to prevent tipping. Do Not remove protective film until refrigerator is in operating position. All four leveling rollers must contact the floor to support and stabilize the full weight. Do not drop refrigerator.
