IMPORTANT NOTE FOR STANDARD INSTALLATION: Wher
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 6 to level the refrigerator
and then to step 8 to secure refrigerator to cabinets, See
step 9 if you have metal wall studs, The refrigerator must

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,

[STEP12 LAYOUT DECORATIVE DOOR PANELS - FLUSHINSTALLATIONONLY
Decorative wood panels must be cut to a thickness of
3/4". The dimensions of each panel can be determined by
referring to the specs provided with refrigerator. Panels
must be predri[led to prevent accidental splitting or
cracking of wood when attaching to door brackets in the
next step.
1, Cut Freezer Drawer and Fresh Food Door panels to
specified dimensions (as noted on page 11 under Design
Guide),
2, Lay the Freezer and Fresh Food panels face down on a
non-scratch surface,
3, Mark a vertical centerline on the backside of the Freezer
and Fresh Food panels,
4, Lay supplied Fresh Food Door panel TEMPLATE (attached
to side case of refrigerator) on the back of the Fresh
Food panel with the lettering face up, See illustration to
ensure proper template has been selected, Make sure
the notch at the top is on the side opposite the hinges
(since this is the BACK of the panel), Align the top, side,
and centerline of the template with the top, side and
centerline of the door, Tape the template to the panel
using masking tape to temporarily secure it in place,
The hinge in this example
is on the right hand side
so the notch is on the left Template is aligned
on the back of the panel, with top of Fresh

upper and lower corners of the Freezer Drawer panel,
7, Using a pencil, trace the outline of the notch out of the
template at the top corner of the Fresh Food door, This
mark will provide a guide for routing wood to provide
relief for door hinge at top of door panel,
