Rollers~eveling
Legs
Adjustable roller behind the base grille enable you to
move the refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning.
These rollers should be set so the refrigerator rests
firmly on the floor. To assure that the doors will close
automatically from a halfway-open position, there is a
built-in tilt from the front to the back of the cabinet.
Side-by-side refrigerators

have specially designed
door hinges that lift both doors slightly when opened,
allowing the force of gravity to help close them securely.

proper door closure, we recommend that the bottom
front edge of the cabinet be approximately 5/8” from
the floor.

into place.
Water Supply to Icemaker
(on some models)
Preparing to Move
If your refrigerator has an icemaker, or if you plan to
add an icemaker later, the icemaker will have to be
connected to a cold water line. A water supply kit
containing copper tubing, shut-off valve, fittings and
instructions is available at extra cost from your dealer.
There should be sufficient tubing for the icemaker from
the cold water supply to allow you to move the
refrigerator out from the wall several feet (approximately
8 feet of 1/4” copper tubing in three 10” diameter coils).
Disconnect power cord from wall outlet, remove all
food, and clean and dry the interior.
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and
storage pans, by taping them securely in place to
prevent damage.
Be sure refrigerator stays in upright position during
actual moving and in van. Refrigerator must be
secured in van to prevent movement. Protect the
outside of the refrigerator with a blanket.
