2.Place the plastic skids (shipped with the convertible refrigerator/ freezer) on the floor at least 3 ft. (91.44 cm) apart. Lay a piece of cardboard or other protective material over the skids. This will elevate the convertible refrigerator/freezer to allow for easier caster installation and also protect it from scratches.

NOTE: If the skids have been discarded or are not available, 2" x 4" boards may be used.

3.Place the convertible refrigerator/freezer on its side on top of the cardboard or protective material. Make sure the door hinge is facing upward.

IMPORTANT: It is important that the door hinge face upward during the entire caster installation.
