sInstallation 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
lAllow for a free flow of air through the front base grille.
lInstall 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.
lAllow 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.
lUse 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.
Energy Saving Tips
lLocate the refrigerator away from heat producing appli- ances such as the range or dishwasher, heat vents and direct sunlight.
lLevel the refrigerator and do not block ventilation around the front grille.
lKeep the freezer full to near capacity so less cold air will escape during door openings. When the freezer is less than
lLet hot dishes cool slightly before putting into the refrigerator or freezer.
lCover liquids.
lWipe moisture from the outside of containers before placing them into the refrigerator.
lAvoid opening the doors too often.
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:
lRemove 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.
lAdjust 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.
lReplace the hinge covers.
lIf 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.
