STEP 4 INSTALLATION WITH
HOUSEHOLD WATER
FILTRATION SYSTEM
Skip this step if you do not have a household water
filtration system
If the water supply to the refrigerator is from any
household water filtration system, the filter cartridge
should be removed. For better ice and water
performance, remove the filter and install the filter bypass
plug.
STEP 5 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 the refrigerator in place.

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” from
the finished floor.
Use #12 or #14
wood screws. See
the illustration.
• The screws must
penetrate at least
one inch into the
vertical wall studs.
• If metal wall studs, use self-tapping sheet metal
screws in place of wood screws.
IMPORTANT: 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
7 to level the refrigerator and then to step 8 to secure
refrigerator to cabinets. The refrigerator must be
secured to prevent tipping.

STEP 7 LEVEL REFRIGERATOR
All models have 4-point leveling. The front is supported
by leveling legs, the rear is supported by adjustable
wheels. Both are accessible from the front of the
refrigerator.
• To level the back of the refrigerator, turn the 7/16”
hex nut located above
the front wheels. Turn
clockwise to raise or
counterclockwise to lower
the refrigerator.
• For front leveling, use a
1-1/4” open-end wrench.
• Adjust height of
refrigerator to match
installation cutout opening
84-1/2”. The refrigerator should be level and plumb
with
cabinetry
.
NOTICE: The rear leveling wheels and front leveling
legs are limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1”.
If the installation requires more than 84-1/2” height,
the installer should elevate the refrigerator on a sheet
of plywood or runners. Cabinetry trim could also be
added across the top of the opening to shorten the
opening. If you attempt to raise the refrigerator more
than 1”, you will damage the front leveling legs and
the rear leveling wheels. Make adjustments in small
increments.
