Install the Refrigerator
1. Fasten the refrigerator into the enclosure (See Art01668):
- Push the refrigerator fully into the enclosure opening.
NOTE: DE/EV0041 models have four mounting screws and
DE/EV0061 models have six mounting screws.
- Put the mounting screws [4] through the mounting flange [5]
on both sides of the refrigerator.
- Make sure the mounting screws are through upper
hole [6] of each pair of holes in the mounting flanges.
CAUTION: If the mounting screws are not
through the upper hole of each pair of holes in the
mounting flanges, the side trim pieces will not fit
correctly.
2. Install the side trim pieces (See Art01669 and Art01670):
- Open the door(s).
- Push the top only of each side trim piece [7] onto the metal
frame [8] of the refrigerator.
- While holding the top only of each side trim piece onto the
metal frame, push each side trim piece up and under the
top grill [9].
- Align the hinges, the strike plate cover, and the strike plate
with the openings in the side trim pieces and push the
remainder of each side trim piece onto the metal frame of
the refrigerator.
- The side trim should engage the metal frame and the
inner tabs [10] with a “snap” sound.
3. Put the hinge hole covers onto the refrigerator cabinet
opposite the hinges and over the empty hinge holes (See
Art01655 and Art01665).
4. Install the bottom grill (See Art01660):
- Align the mounting clips [1] of the bottom grill [2] with the
openings [3] in the bottom rail of the refrigerator cabinet.
CAUTION: Carefully push both ends of the
bottom grill equally to engage the mounting clips
in the bottom rail at the same time. If the mounting
clips engage the bottom rail one at a time,
damage to the bottom grill can result.
- Push the bottom grill toward the lower frame until the
mounting clips “snap” into the bottom rail.
- Allow the door to close and put the bottom of the lower door
hinge onto the lower cabinet hinge of the refrigerator.
- Make sure a hinge bushing is in the bottom of the lower
door hinge.
- Align the holes in lower door hinge and the lower cabinet
hinge.
- Turn the lower hinge pin down into the lower cabinet hinge.
6. Install the upper door:
- Make sure a hinge bushing is in the bottom of the lower
door hinge.
- Put the lower door hinge down onto the center hinge pin.
- Allow the door to close and put the top of the upper door
hinge under the upper cabinet hinge of the refrigerator.
- Make sure a hinge bushing is in the top of the upper door
hinge.
- Align the holes in upper door hinge and the upper cabinet
hinge.
- Turn the upper hinge pin up into the upper cabinet hinge.
- Turn a center hinge pin cap back onto each end of the
center hinge pin.
7. Align the doors and tighten all of the screws.
Connect the Drain Tube
CAUTION:
If you do not remove the orange cable tie from the drain
tube, the result will be water inside the refrigerator.
If you do not connect the drain tube to another tube, the
result will be water at the rear of the refrigerator.
1. Remove and discard the orange cable tie that seals the
drain tube at the rear of the refrigerator.
2. Attach the drain tube to another tube which allows the defrost
water of the refrigerator to correctly drain to a sump or to an
area outside the vehicle.
