Move Refrigerator to Final Location
WARNING
After moving the refrigerator to its final location:
1. Use a ⁵⁄₁₆ " socket driver to turn the leveling bolts clockwise to extend the legs to the floor as shown. The rollers should be off the floor.
Tip Over Hazard
Refrigerator is top heavy and tips easily when not completely installed.
Keep doors taped closed until refrigerator is completely installed.
Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or serious injury.
IMPORTANT: To avoid floor damage, make sure levelers are raised (not touching floor) and refrigerator is on rollers before moving.
1. Place top of cardboard carton or plywood under refrigerator.
Remove dolly.
2. Do not remove protective film or cover.
3. Move the refrigerator straight back and evenly into the opening. Be sure that the refrigerator side trims are not interfering with the door opening. Also, be sure that the water tubing is not kinked and the power supply cord is on top of the refrigerator.
