STEP 2A WATER LINE INSTALLATION WITH
A REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM
Skip this step when not using an RO System
If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a Reverse
Osmosis Water System, use the refrigerator’s filter bypass
plug. Using the refrigerator’s water filtration cartridge with
the RO filter can result in hollow ice cubes.
STEP 3 INSTALL SIDE PANELS
Skip this step when not using side panels
If you are using 1/4
″ 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
refrigerator in place.
STEP 4 INSTALL ANTI-TIP BRACKETS
WARNING:
ANTI-TIP PRECAUTIONS
The refrigerator is top-heavy and must be secured to prevent the
possibility of tipping forward.
ATTENTION:
PRECAUTIONS CONTRE LES
BASCULEMENTS
Le réfrigérateur est beaucoup plus lourd en haut et il faut le
maintenir en place pour éviter la possibilité de son basculement
vers l’avant.
• Cut a 2
″ x 4″ x 35″ block 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
″ (or your installation height) from the finished floor. Use #12
or #14 wood screws. See illustration.
• Screws must penetrate at least one inch into vertical wall studs.
• 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 Note: 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 5 to level the refrigerator and then to step 6
to secure refrigerator to cabinets. The refrigerator must be secured to
prevent tipping.
