Install Base Grille

There are two pieces to the base grille to allow for a custom fit: the base grille itself and the skirt. The skirt can be added to the base grille in order to extend it all the way to the floor.

1.To see whether the skirt is needed, place the base grille into position. Do not attach the base grille to the refrigerator. Measure the distance between the bottom of the base grille and the floor. The gap must be a minimum of ¹⁄₂" (1.27 cm) in order to add the skirt.

NOTE: If the gap measures less than ¹⁄₂" (1.27 cm), skip steps 3 and 4 of the instructions, and install the base grille only.

2.Remove the film from the base grille.

3.Snap the skirt onto the base grille.
