Installation
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
•Allow for a free flow of air through the front base grille.
•Install the refrigerator where the room temperature will not go below 55˚ F. With temperatures below 55˚, the refrigerator will not run frequently enough to maintain proper temperature in the freezer.
•Allow a minimum 1/2” clearance on the sides, top and back for ease of installation. If refrigerator is placed with either door hinge side against a wall, you may want to allow additional space so the door can be opened wider.
•Use caution when installing the unit on vinyl or hardwood floors so as not to mark or otherwise damage the flooring. A piece of plywood, a rug or other material should be used to protect the floor while positioning the unit.
Leveling
To enhance appearance and to maintain optimal perfor- mance, the refrigerator must be level. Your refrigerator has wheels which can be adjusted for leveling:
•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.
•Adjust the wheels with a screwdriver (see fig. 2).
•To lock the cabinet in place, turn down both level- ing/lock feet, located near the front wheels (see fig. 3). Rear leveling/lock feet are not required.
•Replace the hinge covers.
•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.
