Page 5

Installation

Your refrigerator was packed carefully for shipment. Remove and discard shelf packaging and tape. Do not remove the serial plate.

Location

•Do not install refrigerator near oven, radiator or other heat source. If not possible, shield refrigerator with cabinet material (contact a qualified contractor).

•Do not install where temperature falls below 55° F (13° C) or rises above 110° F (43° C). Malfunction may occur at this temperature.

•Refrigerator is designed for indoor household application only.

Measuring the Opening

When installing your refrigerator, measure carefully. Allow 1⁄2” space at top and 1⁄2” space behind the machine compartment cover (located in the rear) for proper air circulation.

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 Leveling.

Important: If refrigerator is to be installed into a recess where the top of the refrigerator is completely covered, use distance from floor to top of hinge cap to verify proper clearance.

Transporting Your Refrigerator

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

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

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

•Secure refrigerator to dolly firmly with straps or bungee cords. Thread straps through handles when possible. Do not over-tighten. Over-tightening restraints may dent or damage outside finish.

Leveling

To enhance the appearance and maintain performance, the refrigerator should be level.

CAUTION

To protect property and refrigerator from damage, observe the following:

•Protect vinyl or other flooring with cardboard, rugs, or other protective material.

•Do not use power tools when performing leveling procedure.

Notes:

•Complete any required water supply connection before leveling.

4.Using a carpenter’s level, make sure front of refrigerator is 1⁄4” (6 mm) or approximately 1⁄2 bubble higher than back of refrigerator and that the refrigerator is level from side to side.

5.Turn stabilizing legs (C) clockwise until firmly against floor.

6.Turn adjustment screws (A) counterclockwise to allow the full weight of the refrigerator to rest on the stabilizing legs.
