Reduce Tipping Radius (if required) Before bringing the refrigerator into the home, be sure there is adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator upright. See "Tipping Radius" in the "Installation Requirements" section for more information. If you do not have adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator upright, the tipping radius can be reduced by removing the top grille and side trims (see the following chart). Model Reduced Tipping Radius 36 89" (225.9 cm) 42 90¹⁄₂" (229.9 cm) 48 91¹⁄₄" (231.8 cm) 1. Grasp both ends of the top grille. 2. Push the top grille straight up; then pull straight out. Lay the grille on a soft surface. B A B A. Top grille B. Cabinet side trim 3. Remove the six screws attaching each cabinet side trim to the refrigerator and remove the side trims. Move the Refrigerator into House WARNING 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. NOTE: Pass the dolly strap under the handles for the Stainless Series. 2. Place pieces of the shipping carton on the floor when rolling the dolly and refrigerator into the house. Move the refrigerator close to the built-in opening. 3. Place top of cardboard carton or plywood under refrigerator. 4. Stand the refrigerator up. First, place the left bottom edge of the refrigerator on the floor, stand the refrigerator upright and then lower the right-hand side of the refrigerator to the floor. 5. Reassemble the trim and top grille after the dolly has been removed from the refrigerator. Install Anti-Tip Boards IMPORTANT: ■ To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within 1" (2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit is higher than 1" (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then the refrigerator must be braced. ■ It is recommended that board(s) be installed before the refrigerator is installed. ■ Board(s) must be long enough to fully cover the width of the compressor cover. ■ Locate the board(s) so the bottom surface(s) of the board(s) is(are) 84" (213 cm) from the floor. ■ During installation, raise the refrigerator up so there is ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) maximum between the top of the refrigerator and the bottom of the anti-tip board(s). Do not crush the compressor cover when raising the rear leveling legs. NOTE: The foam gasket, on top of the compressor cover, will compress to fit under the anti-tip board(s). There is no need to trim the gasket. 1. Place an appliance dolly under the left side of the refrigerator as shown. Place the corner posts from the packing materials over the trims and handles as appropriate to avoid damage. Slowly tighten the strap. 15
