Installation Instructions
Your new refrigerator was packed carefully for shipment. Remove and discard shelf packing clips (if used) located just
above each shelf where they hook onto the frame. To remove plastic clips wiggle the clips sideways and pull straight out.
Location of Your
Refrigerator
l
Allow for a free flow of air through the front base grille.
l
Install the refrigerator where the room temperature will
not go below 55” E With temperatures below 55”, the
refrigerator will not run frequently enough to maintain
proper temperature in the freezer.
l
Allow a minimum l/2” clearance on the sides, top and
back for ease of installation. If the refrigerator is placed
with the door hinge side against a wall, you may want to
allow additional space so the door can be opened wider.
l
Use caution when installing the
unit
on vinyl or hard-
wood tloors so as not to mark or otherwise damage the
flooring. A piece of plywood, a rug or other material
should he used to protect the floor while positioning the
unit.
Leveling is Important
To enhance appearance and to maintain optimal perfor-
mance, the refrigerator must be level. Your refrigerator has
wheels which can be adjusted for leveling:
l
Remove the lower hinge covers (see fig. 1). To do this,
grasp each cover near the hinge and apply pressure. The
attachment tabs will snap out, allowing removal of the
covers.
l
Adjust the wheels with a screwdriver (see fig. 2).
l
To lock the cabinet in place, turn down both
leveling/lock feet, located near the front wheels (see fig.
3). Rear leveling/lock feet are not required.
l
Replace the hinge covers.
l
If the floor is not level and it is necessary to raise the
rear of the cabinet, we suggest rolling the rear wheels
onto a piece of plywood or other shim material.
Energy Saving Tips
l
Locate the refrigerator away from heat producing appli-
ances such as the range or dishwasher, heat vents and
direct sunlight.
l
Level the refrigerator and do not block ventilation
around the front grille.
l
Keep the freezer full to near capacity so less cold air will
escape during door openings. When the freezer is less
than two-thirds full, place milk cartons half full of water
in the freezer.
l
Let hot dishes cool slightly before putting into the
refrigerator or freezer.
l
Cover liquids.
l
Wipe moisture from the outside of containers before
placing them into the refrigerator.
l
Avoid opening the doors too often.
