Instructions

Preparing to install the refrigerator.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Operating Instructions Safety

Stabilizing Brake

This refrigerator is equipped with leveling feet which serve as a stabilizing brake. These additional leveling feet will hold the refrigerator securely in position during operation and cleaning.

To set the brake, first remove the end caps and base grille. Second, adjust the rollers to the desired position. Then turn both leveling feet on each side until the feet are firmly in place against the floor.

After the brake is securely in place, unscrew the roller adjustment bolt counterclockwise until the weight of the refrigerator is supported by the stabilizing brake. This allows the weight to be positioned on the stabilizing brake.

Replace the base grille and reinstall the end caps.

Reverse the procedure to roll the refrigerator out.

Removing the doors.

The doors may need to be removed to move the unit through tight spaces.

You may also want to reverse the door swing for easier access to the refrigerator.

Read the instructions all the way through before starting.

Handle parts carefully to avoid scratching paint.

Set screws down by their related parts to avoid using them in the wrong places.

Provide a non-scratching work surface for the doors.

IMPORTANT: Once you begin, do not move the cabinet until door-swing reversal is completed.
