2. Put a cap on each of the screw holes in the refrigerator
mounting flanges.
3. Put screws through the braces [2] at the lower rear corners of
the refrigerator and into the floor (See Art00952).
- Make sure the distance from the floor level to the top of the
rough opening for the upper exhaust vent is at least 20 5/8
inches or poor cooling performance and damage to the
cooling system can occur.
- Make sure the distance from the floor level to the top of the
rough opening for the upper exhaust vent is at least 20 5/8
inches or poor cooling performance and damage to the
cooling system can occur.
- Align the upper exhaust vent horizontally above the
lower intake vent [1] of the refrigerator.

above the refrigerator.
- Make sure the baffle is the full width of the inside of the
