Reduce Tipping Radius

(if required)

Before bringing the refrigerator into the home, be sure there is adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator upright. See “Tipping Radius” in the “Installation Requirements” section for more information.

If you do not have adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator upright, the tipping radius can be reduced by removing the top grille and side trims (see the following chart).

Model	Reduced Tipping Radius

Move the Refrigerator into House

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.

1.Place an appliance dolly under the left side of the refrigerator as shown. Place the corner posts from the packing materials over the trims and handles as appropriate to avoid damage. Slowly tighten the strap.

NOTE: Pass the dolly strap under the handles for the Architect® Series.

2.Place pieces of the shipping carton on the floor when rolling the dolly and refrigerator into the house. Move the refrigerator close to the built-in opening.

3.Place top of cardboard carton or plywood under refrigerator.

4.Stand the refrigerator up. First, place the left bottom edge of the refrigerator on the floor, stand the refrigerator upright and then lower the right-hand side of the refrigerator to the floor.

5.Reassemble the trim and top grille after the dolly has been removed from the refrigerator.

Install Anti-Tip Boards

IMPORTANT:

■To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within 1" (2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit is higher than 1" (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then the refrigerator must be braced.

■It is recommended that board(s) be installed before the refrigerator is installed.

■Board(s) must be long enough to fully cover the width of the compressor cover.

■Locate the board(s) so the bottom surface(s) of the board(s) is(are) 84" (213 cm) from the floor.

■During installation, raise the refrigerator up so there is

¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) maximum between the top of the refrigerator and the bottom of the anti-tip board(s). Do not crush the compressor cover when raising the rear leveling legs.

To Install Anti-tip Boards

1.Mark the stud locations on rear wall 80" to 90" (203 cm to 229 cm) above floor.
