and pulling bottom of the grille toward you.
Install Casters
Unpack Casters
Depending on your model, the casters may be packed in either the
upper or lower compartment. Remove the box containing the
casters.
2. Place the plastic skids (shipped with the refrigerator/freezer) on
the floor at least 3 ft (91.44 cm) apart. Lay a piece of cardboard
or other protective material over the skids. This will elevate the
refrigerator/freezer to allow for easier caster installation and also
protect it from scratches.

2" x 4" boards may be used.

swivel caster to each caster bracket. The rigid caster fits the front
of the bracket, and the swivel caster fits on the rear.
7. Insert the hex-head bolts from the bottom and start the self-
locking nuts for each caster.
NOTES:
■ The caster bracket must remain on a flat surface while you
are installing the casters.
■ Install the casters to the front of each bracket so that the
wheel protrudes from the front of the bracket. The caster is
correctly installed when the bottom of the bracket makes a
90° angle with the caster mounting plate, as shown.

NOTE: Locking the casters will help prevent the refrigerator/
freezer from moving while it is being lifted.
2. Insert a small piece of cardboard between the caster brake and
the floor. This will help prevent the brake from rubbing on the
floor.

in the metal panel and rolling the grille downward until it snaps
into place.
