STEP 4 INSTALLATION WITH
HOUSEHOLD WATER
FILTRATION SYSTEM
Skip this step if you do not have a household
water filtration system
If the water supply to the refrigerator is from any
household water filtration system, the filter cartridge
should be removed. For better ice and water
performance, remove the filter and install the filter
bypass plug.
STEP 5 INSTALL SIDE PANELS
Skip this step when not using side panels.
If you are using 1/4” (0.63 cm) side panels, they
should be inserted into the case trim. Fasten the
panels to the refrigerator with stick-on hook and loop
fastener strips before setting the refrigerator in place.
STEP 6 ANTI-TIP PROCEDURE
WARNING
Tip Over Hazard.
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.

Rotate Counterclockwise
to Remove
• Cut a 2” x 4” block, 35” (88.9 cm) long and secure
the block to the mounting brackets provided using
#12 or #14 wood screws.
• Secure the
bracket with
wood block to
the back wall
so that it is 84”
(213.36 cm)
from the finished
floor. Use #12
or #14 wood
screws. See the
illustration.
• The screws must
penetrate at least one inch into the vertical wall
studs.
• If metal wall studs, use self-tapping sheet metal
screws in place of wood screws.
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
7 to level the refrigerator and then to step 8 to secure
refrigerator to cabinets.
The refrigerator must be
secured to prevent tipping.
Connect Power Cord:
• Before pushing the refrigerator into the opening,
plug the power cord into the receptacle. The water
filter guard will need to be removed for access
(some models). Remove the 3 screws holding it
in place. If access is still too tight, remove the 2
screws holding the water filter bracket and move
aside. 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. Secure the bracket and guard with
the original screws.
• Gently push refrigerator into the opening with hands
against front corners.
