Install Side Trims

The side trims cover the space between the refrigerator and the adjacent cabinets. There is a trim piece taped to each side of the refrigerator. Install each trim piece to the side of the refrigerator to which it is taped.

1.Remove the tape attaching the trim pieces to the sides of the refrigerator. Set the trim pieces aside.

IMPORTANT: For installations using custom wood panels with ¹⁄₈" gap, the bulb-shaped section of the trim piece will interfere with the panels. Score each trim piece at the base of the bulb-shaped section, then remove and discard this section. See the Top View graphic later in this section.

2.Remove the four screws from the side of the refrigerator cabinet.

3.Using the original holes and the screws removed in Step 2, fasten the side trim to the refrigerator cabinet.

NOTE: Make sure to fasten each trim piece to the side of the refrigerator cabinet from which it was removed. The bulb- shaped section should be forward with the notch at the top, as shown.

WARNING

Tip Over Hazard

Refrigerator is top heavy and tips easily when not completely installed.

Keep doors taped closed until refrigerator is completely installed.

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or serious injury.

IMPORTANT:

To avoid floor damage, make sure levelers are raised (not touching floor) and refrigerator is on rollers before moving.

Use the installation block, attached to the door hinge, as a reference to make sure the refrigerator is pushed back far enough into the opening, so that when the panels are installed they will be flush with the adjacent cabinets.

NOTE: A flush installation is not possible with a 24" (60.9 cm) deep opening.

After the refrigerator is leveled and aligned, remove the installation block from the door hinge and use it to check the spacing between the panels and adjacent cabinets.

NOTE: The installation block is designed to provide accurate spacing for ³⁄₄" (1.9 cm), ³⁄₈" (9.53 mm) and ¹⁄₈" (3.18 mm).

1.Place top of cardboard carton or plywood under refrigerator. Remove dolly.

2.Move the refrigerator straight back and evenly into the opening. Be sure that the water tubing is not kinked and the power supply cord is on top of the refrigerator.

NOTE: If the power supply cord is behind the refrigerator, it will not install properly.

3.Make sure the installation block is flush with the adjacent cabinets.

NOTE: To achieve a flush installation, it is critical to verify a ³⁄₄" (1.9 cm) depth from the front face of the adjacent cabinetry to the refrigerator.
