Install Base Grille
There are two pieces to the base grille to allow for a custom fit: the
base grille itself and the skirt. The skirt can be added to the base
grille in order to extend it all the way to the floor.
1. To see whether the skirt is needed, place the base grille into
position. Do not attach the base grille to the refrigerator.
Measure the distance between the bottom of the base grille
and the floor. The gap must be a minimum of 1/2" (1.27 cm) in
order to add the skirt.
NOTE: If the gap measures less than1/2" (1.27 cm), skip
steps 3 and 4 of the instructions, and install the base grille
only.
2. Remove the film from the base grille.

Install Odor Absorber (on some
models)
On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes an
odor absorber, which must be installed prior to use. On some
models, the odor absorber is already installed at the factory.
The odor absorber reduces the buildup of odors. This helps to
maintain a cleaner environment inside the refrigerator.
