Setting up your Refrigerator
10_ Setting Up
First thing! Make sure that you can easily move your Refrigerator to its final location by measuring doorways
(both width and height), thresholds, ceilings, stairways, etc.
The following chart details the exact height and depth of Samsung Refrigerator.
FLOORING
For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed on a level
surface of hard material that is the same height as the rest of the
flooring. This surface should be strong enough to support a fully
loaded refrigerator, or approximately 223lbs(106kg). To protect
the finish of the flooring, cut a large section of the cardboard
carton and place under the refrigerator where you are working.
When moving the refrigerator, be sure to pull it straight out and
return it to position by pushing it straight in.
