Install Top Grille Filler (standard installation only)
IMPORTANT: The grille panel height allows the necessary airflow for refrigerator performance. The top grille filler hides the upper compartment cover behind the top grille. If you choose to modify the recommended grille panel dimensions, performance will be compromised.

3.Using hex head blunt screws (provided with refrigerator), attach the “L” brackets to the top grille mounting plates.
