Space requirements
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator,
allow for a 1/2-inch(1.25 cm) space on each side
and at the top. For models that have ice and water
dispensers, make sure you leave some extra space
at the back to allow for the water line connections.
NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven,
radiator, or other heat source, nor in a location
where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).

Leveling and door alignment
If the refrigerator is not leveled during installation,
the doors may be misaligned and not close or seal
properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture
problems. It is very important for the refrigerator
to be level in order to function properly.
Move the refrigerator into its final position. Use a
level on top of the refrigerator to check that it is
level from side-to-side and front-to-back. If the
refrigerator is not level or the doors are uneven,
level the refrigerator using the instructions below.
NOTE: If your refrigerator has an automatic ice
maker, level it before attaching the ice maker to a
water supply. If you move the refrigerator after the
water line has been hooked up you may loosen or
disconnect the fittings.
1. Roll out the refrigerator and use a level to check
the floor at the back from side-to-side. Use
shims as needed to bring the floor near the wall
to level if it is uneven. Roll the refrigerator back
into place with the rear rollers on top of any
shim(s) used so that the rear of the refrigerator
is bevel.
2. With the rear already level and the refrigerator in
place, use the front leveling screws to level the
refrigerator from side-to-side and front-to-back.
Open the refrigerator door and remove the base
grille to find the two leveling screws. They are
part of the Front Roller assemblies which are
found at the base of the refrigerator on either side.
