Side Panels
• Side panels are not required when the refrigerator
or freezer is installed into an enclosure. Skip this
step if you are installing into an enclosure.
• Side panels are required whenever the sides of the
refrigerator or freezer 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 stick-on hook
and loop fastener strips 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
illustration B.
1/2″ to 3/4″ Side Panels – Leading edge of side
panel is flush with cabinet front. Fasten to the back
wall using a cleat.
1/4″ Side panels – Insert end of side panel into case
trim. Fasten with stick-on hook and loop strips.

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″ (or your installation height)
from the finished floor. Use #12 or #14 wood
screws. See illustration.
• Screws must penetrate at least one inch into
vertical wall studs.

plug the power cord into the receptacle. Open the
grille panel and reach into the opening at the back
to grasp the power cord. Pull the power cord into
the opening as you push the refrigerator back.
