Installing Your Refrigerator

These instructions were provided to aid you in the installation of your unit. Amana cannot be responsible for improper installation.

How do I measure an opening to insure proper fit?

A ½" of air space should be provided for the top and back of the unit to allow for proper air circulation. When installing your unit, measure carefully. Subflooring or floor coverings (i.e. carpet, tile, wood floors, rugs) may make your opening smaller than anticipated.

Some clearance may be gained by using the leveling procedure under How to Level Your Refrigerator.

IMPORTANT: If unit is to be installed into a recess where top of unit is completely covered, use dimensions from floor to top of hinge cap to verify proper clearance.

How to Transport Your Unit

Follow these tips when moving the unit to final location:

•NEVER transport unit on its side. If an upright position is not possible, lay unit on its back. Allow unit to sit upright for approximately 30 minutes prior to plugging unit in to assure oil return to the compressor. Plugging unit in immediately may cause damage to internal parts.

•Use an appliance dolly when moving unit. ALWAYS truck unit from its side–NEVER from its front or back.

•Protect outside finish of unit during transport by wrapping cabinet in blankets or inserting padding between the unit and dolly.

•Secure unit to dolly firmly with straps. Thread straps through handles when possible. DO NOT overtighten. Overtightening restraints may

dent or damage outside finish.

How to Select the Best Location

Observe these points when choosing the final location for your unit:

•DO NOT install refrigerator near oven, radiator, or other heat source. If not possible, shield unit with cabinet material.

•DO NOT install where temperature falls below 55°F (13°C). Malfunction may occur at this temperature.

•Make sure floor is level. If floor is not level, shim rear wheels of unit with a piece of plywood or other shim material.

•To assure proper door closure, verify that the unit is leveled with a ¼" tilt to the back.

How to Remove the Doors and Hinges

Some installations require door removal to get refrigerator to final location. If removal of the pullout drawer is required, see later section entitled
