• Side panels are not required when the refrigerator is
installed into an enclosure. Skip this step if you are
installing in an enclosure.
• Side panels are required whenever the sides of the
refrigerator will be exposed and when installed
between frameless cabinets. See pages 3 and 4.
• Side panel installation will be determined by the
design of the side panel you have previously chosen.
• Side panels must be installed plumb.
• If you choose to use 1/4" side panels, they should be
inserted into the case trim as illustrated. Fasten the
panels to the refrigerator with Velcro strips (provided)
before setting refrigerator in place. See illustration A.
• 1/2" to 3/4" side panels are normally set into place and
fastened to adjacent cabinetry or the back wall before
rolling the refrigerator into the opening. See illustra-
tions B and C.
• Gently push refrigerator into opening with hands
against front corners. The cardboard protective pad
