STEP 3 INSTALL SIDE PANELS

Skip this step when not using side panels.

If you are using 1/4" side panels, they should be inserted into the case trim. Fasten the panels to the refrigerator with stick-on hook and loop fastener strips before setting refrigerator in place.

STEP 4 INSTALL ANTI-TIP BRACKETS

WARNING: ANTI-TIP PRECAUTIONS

The refrigerator is top-heavy and must be secured to prevent the possibility of tipping forward.

ATTENTION: PRECAUTIONS CONTRE LES BASCULEMENTS

Le réfrigérateur est beaucoup plus lourd en haut et il faut le maintenir en place pour éviter la possibilité de son basculement vers l’avant.

Cut a 2" x 4" block, 35" long and secure the block to the mounting brackets provided using #12 or #14 wood screws.
