INSTALLATION OF AIR CHANNEL

TOOLS / EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

• Measuring tape

• A pair of gloves

• A pair of pliers

• Sheet metal shears

• Phillips screwdriver

• Marking pen

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1. Verify the correct part number of air channel for the refrigerator (see cover page). The part will have one

side ﬂ ange bent up and the other bent down, this is correct. Unpack the air channel and the bag of screws

from the skid.

2. On the back of the refrigerator, remove the top screw from the cooling unit mounting rail on both the left

and right sides. Save the screws, they will be re-installed shortly.

• Battery powered drill with clutch or torque adjustment

• 5/16” hex nut driver bit, magnetic

• 6” extension for nut driver bit (recommended)

• Self-drilling screws (quantity 6) supplied with air channel

• Wood screws, #8 x 3/4” (quantity 3)

Sheetmetal edges may be sharp. Wearing gloves is recommended.

3. Hand bend the two long perforated bends as shown below to a 90-degree angle.

5. Hang the air channel on the back of the refrigerator as shown. Using a phillips screwdriver, re-install the

two screws that were removed in step 2, securing both left and right air channel tabs in the process.

4. Using pliers, bend the 2 tabs as shown to a 90-degree angle. Be sure to bend them at the perforations

and in the correct direction as shown.

6. Using the drill and nut driver bit (with extension), install six self-drilling screws (3 per side) in the holes

provided in the air channel mounting ﬂ anges. Make sure the ﬂ ange aligns parallel with the cooling unit’s verti-

cal frame and is at least 1/8” from the corner of the refrigerator. Use a low torque setting and be careful not to

over-tighten the screws.

For the left side (with turned under ﬂ ange):

7. Installation of the air channel onto the refrigerator is now complete. Next, measure the depth of the recess

in which the refrigerator will be installed. Make a note of the measurement.

And for the right side (with turned out ﬂ ange):

5

8. Hand-bend the lower ﬂ ange of the air channel up 90 degrees. Place a mark on each side of the bent

ﬂ ange as shown at the distance measured in step 8.

9. Select the row of perforated slots at or just less than the measured distance of the marks made in the pre-

vious step. Using sheet metal shears, make a small cut (1/2 inch) on each side at this row of slots.

10. Fold the ﬂ ange up and over (180 degrees).

6

11. To complete the installation of the air channel, a wooden crossbar (minimum 1” x 1”) approximately 1/2

inch to 1 inch shorter than the width of the air channel ﬂ ange must be attached as shown inside the recess.

The method of attaching the crossbar is to be determined by the installer. Before sliding the refrigerator into

the recess, drill three 3/16” diameter clearance holes through the folded air channel ﬂ ange approximately 1/2”

from the folded edge. Slide the refrigerator into the recess and position the folded air channel ﬂ ange under-

neath the crossbar. Drill three 3/32” diameter pilot holes into the wooden crossbar. Install three #8 x 3/4”

wood screws to secure the folded ﬂ ange to the wooden crossbar. See below:
