loaded.

REMOVING THE REFRIGERATOR DOORS
• IMPORTANT NOTE: This refrigerator is 36
1
/4” deep (31
1
/4” 
for CD models). Doors and passageways leading to the 
installation location must be at least 36
1
/4” wide in order to 
leave the doors and handles attached to the refrigerator 
while transporting it into the installation location. If 
passageways are less than 36
1
/4”, the refrigerator doors 
and handles can easily be scratched and damaged. 
The top cap and doors can be removed to allow the 
refrigerator to be safely moved indoors. If passageways 
are less than 31
1
/4”, start with Step 1. 
•  If it is not necessary to remove doors, skip to Step 
11. Leave tape and all packaging on doors until the 
refrigerator is in the final location.
• NOTE: Use a padded hand truck to move this refrigerator. 
Place the refrigerator on the hand truck with a side 
against the truck. We strongly recommend that TWO 
PEOPLE move and complete this installation.
