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 ANIT-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.

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.
