These refrigerators are top heavy, especially with any doors open, and must be secured to prevent tipping forward which could result in death or serious injury. Read and follow the entire installation instructions for securing the refrigerator with the anti-tip system. AVERTISSEMENT Risque de basculement Ces réfrigérateurs présentent une partie supérieure lourde, en particulier avec une porte ouverte; ils doivent donc être fixés pour prévenir le basculement vers l’avant et le risque concomitant de blessure grave ou fatale. Lisez et suivez les instructions d’installation complètes pour l’installation du système anti-basculement. STEP 4 ANIT-TIP PROCEDURE (CONT) • The kit supplied with the unit contains 2 lag bolts and 4 toggles with bolts. The wall bracket will be attached to the wall in 4 places. • Measure the opening where the unit is to be installed. Mark the center with a vertical line. • Measure up 81 1/2” from the floor. Mark this point on the wall. • Using a level, draw a horizontal line on the wall at this height. • Locate at least 2 studs on the back wall. Mark these points on the horizontal line. • Place the bottom of the wall bracket with tabs on the horizontal line. Align the center notch on the bracket with the center line on the wall. Line on Wall Center

• The anti-tip wall bracket has a series of holes. Select 2 holes that match with the located studs. Make sure the holes selected are on the center of the studs. Mark the wall at these points. • Mark an additional hole at each end of the bracket. If one of the studs is closer to the end of the bracket, mark an additional hole towards the center of the bracket. • Drill 1/2” holes into the wall board at the locations marked for the toggles to be mounted (not the stud markings). • Drill 3/16” holes into wooden studs where marked. If steel stud construction, drill 1/2” holes into the studs where marked. You will use 2 toggles with the metal studs. Install Wall Toggles: The wall toggles and bolts can be ordered as Service Kit #WR49X10193. Wall toggles are installed in the drywall and metal studs for stability. Install the wall toggles as follows: • Drill 1/2” holes at the wall markings made in the holes at the ends of the wall bracket. • Hold the metal channel flat against the plastic straps and slide the channel through the hole. • Gently pull back at the ends of the plastic straps to make the channel rest flush behind the wall. • Hold the ends of the straps in one hand and slide the plastic cap along the straps until the flange of the cap is flush with the wall. Two Additional Hole Locations at Ends of Brackets Center Wall Bracket Line On Wall Wall Studs Plastic Straps Metal Channel Cap STEP 4 ANIT-TIP PROCEDURE (CONT) • Place your thumb between the plastic straps and bend up and down to snap the straps off at the wall. Install Screws and Bolts: • Have someone hold the wall bracket centered in place with each of the holes aligned with the correct opening in the bracket and level with the horizontal line. • Insert the lag screws through the bracket and into the stud. Tighten with a wrench. • Insert the bolts into the toggle by hand until snug. Tighten with a wrench. CONNECT POWER CORD: • Before pushing the refrigerator into the opening, plug the power cord into the receptacle. Open the grille panel and reach into the opening at the back to grasp the power cord. Pull the power cord into the opening as you push the refrigerator back. • Gently push refrigerator into the opening with hands against front corners. IMPORTANT: When the refrigerator is installed under a soffit or if there is not enough height for this method of security, brackets cannot be used.

All models have 4-point leveling. The front is supported by leveling legs, the rear is supported by adjustable wheels. Both are accessible from the front of the refrigerator. • To level the back of the refrigerator, turn the 7/16” hex nut located above the front wheels. Turn clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the refrigerator. • For front leveling, use a 1-1/4” open-end wrench. • Adjust height of refrigerator to match installation cutout opening 83-1/2 to 84-1/2”. The refrigerator should be level and plumb with cabinetry. ATTENTION Les roues de nivellement arrière et les pattes de nivellement avant permettent un réglage maximal de 25 mm (1 po). Si l’ouverture pour le réfrigérateur a une hauteur supérieure à 2,15 m (84-1/2 po), l’installateur doit élever le réfrigérateur sur une feuille de contre-plaqué ou des glissières. Il est également possible d’ajouter des baguettes de finition des placards sur le haut de l’ouverture afin de la réduire. Lever le réfrigérateur de plus de 25 mm (1 po) endommage les pattes de nivellement avant et les roues de nivellement arrière. CAUTION The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs are limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1”. If the installation requires more than 84-1/2” height, the installer should elevate the refrigerator on a sheet of plywood or runners. Cabinetry trim could also be added across the top of the opening to shorten the opening. If you attempt to raise the refrigerator more than 1”, you will damage the front leveling legs and the rear leveling wheels. Installation Instructions STEP 6 SECURE UNIT TO WALL • The “L” rod can be found in the upper left corner of the unit in the access compartment. Look through the access compartment to make sure the rod lines up with the anti-tip bracket. • There are 2 washers and a hair pin cotter with the rod. Remove the washers and hair pin cotter from the end of the rod. • Rotate and move the “L” rod into the slot in the anti-tip bracket tab. Once it is in the slot, rotate the “L” rod so the hook portion is pointing down. The holes at the front end of the rod should be in a vertical position. • Pull out on the end of the rod to make sure it is secure in the bracket. • Locate the hole on the rod that is closest to the unit. A hair pin cotter will be put through this hole to secure the rod. If this hole appears to be too far away for a snug fit against the unit, add the washers one at a time until the pin will fit tightly into the hole. • Align the straight section of the pin with the hole from the underside of the rod. Push the pin up until it snaps into position. Pliers may be used. NOTE: The hair pin cotter must be vertical when this step is completed to ensure the “L” rod is engaged in the bracket. • Check the rod for tightness by pulling forward. If the rod moves, remove the hair pin cotter and place another washer on the rod. Reinsert the pin.

PROCEDURE The refrigerator must be secured to prevent tipping. If the anti-tip bracket cannot be used, this alternate procedure may be used to secure the refrigerator against tip-over • Raise the grille panel to access case trim. • Use a 3/16” bit to drill four evenly spaced clearance holes through the metal top case trim. • Use a 1/16” bit to drill to pilot holes through the metal clearance holes and into the wood soffit. The holes should be centered in the soffit or a 3/4” min. wood brace. The brace spanning the enclosure must be securely fastened to cabinets on both sides. • Install four, 1-1/2” drywall screws into the pilot holes. • If no soffit above the unit, drill screws into adjacent cabinets through the side case trim. STEP 8 ADJUST DOOR SWING NOTE: This refrigerator has a 3-position door stop. When space does not allow the door to swing open fully to 115°, you may change the door swing to a 90° opening. A 130° door swing is available for standard installation only. If used for flush installation, damage will occur to wood panels.

Pull the power cord into the opening as you push the refrigerator back. • Gently push refrigerator into the opening with hands against front corners. IMPORTANT: When the refrigerator is installed under a soffit or if there is not enough height for this method of security, brackets cannot be used. Proceed to step 6 to level the refrigerator and then to step 8 to secure refrigerator to cabinets. 34 Installation Instructions - Flush Installation STEP 6 LEVEL REFRIGERATOR All models have 4-point leveling. The front is supported by leveling legs, the rear is supported by adjustable wheels. Both are accessible from the front of the refrigerator. • To level the back of the refrigerator, turn the 7/16” hex nut located above the front wheels. Turn clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the refrigerator. • For front leveling, use a 1-1/4” open-end wrench. • Adjust height of refrigerator to match installation cutout opening 83-1/2 to 84-1/2”. The refrigerator should be level and plumb with cabinetry. ATTENTION Les roues de nivellement arrière et les pattes de nivellement avant permettent un réglage maximal de 25 mm (1 po). Si l’ouverture pour le réfrigérateur a une hauteur supérieure à 2,15 m (84-1/2 po), l’installateur doit élever le réfrigérateur sur une feuille de contre-plaqué ou des glissières. Il est également possible d’ajouter des baguettes de finition des placards sur le haut de l’ouverture afin de la réduire. Lever le réfrigérateur de plus de 25 mm (1 po) endommage les pattes de nivellement avant et les roues de nivellement arrière. CAUTION The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs are limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1”. If the installation requires more than 84-1/2” height, the installer should elevate the refrigerator on a sheet of plywood or runners. Cabinetry trim could also be added across the top of the opening to shorten the opening. If you attempt to raise the refrigerator more than 1”, you will damage the front leveling legs and the rear leveling wheels. STEP 7 SECURE UNIT TO WALL • The “L” rod can be found in the upper left corner of the unit in the access compartment. Look through the access compartment to make sure the rod lines up with the anti-tip bracket. • There are 2 washers and a hair pin cotter with the rod. Remove the washers and hair pin cotter from the end of the rod. • Rotate and move the “L” rod into the slot in the anti-tip bracket tab. Once it is in the slot, rotate the “L” rod so the hook portion is pointing down. The holes at the front end of the rod should be in a vertical position. • Pull out on the end of the rod to make sure it is secure in the bracket. • Locate the hole on the rod that is closest to the unit. A hair pin cotter will be put through this hole to secure the rod. If this hole appears to be too far away for a snug fit against the unit, add the washers one at a time until the pin will fit tightly into the hole. • Align the straight section of the pin with the hole from the underside of the rod. Push the pin up until it snaps into position. Pliers may be used. NOTE: The hair pin cotter must be vertical when this step is completed to ensure the “L” rod is engaged in the bracket. • Check the rod for tightness by pulling forward. If the rod moves, remove the hair pin cotter and place another washer on the rod. Reinsert the pin.

STEP 8 ALTERNATE ANTI-TIP PROCEDURE The refrigerator must be secured to prevent tipping. If the anti-tip bracket cannot be used, this alternate procedure may be used to secure the refrigerator against tip-over • Raise the grille panel to access case trim. • Use a 3/16” bit to drill four evenly spaced clearance holes through the metal top case trim. • Use a 1/16” bit to drill to pilot holes through the metal clearance holes and into the wood soffit. The holes should be centered in the soffit or a 3/4” min. wood brace. The brace spanning the enclosure must be securely fastened to cabinets on both sides. • Install four, 1-1/2” drywall screws into the pilot holes. • If no soffit above the unit, drill screws into adjacent cabinets through the side case trim. Improper installation can lead to a finger pinch point hazard between the side door trim and the cabinets when operating the door, especially with children. To minimize this risk you must follow the installation instructions for cabinet dimensions, trim assembly, and door stop angle. Door Trim Pinch Point Hazard WARNING STEP 9 ADJUST DOOR SWING NOTE: This refrigerator has a 3-position door stop.
