Installation Information
Location
1.Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
2.If possible, place the refrigerator/freezer out of direct sunlight and away from the range, dishwasher or other heat sources.
3.The refrigerator/freezer must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator/freezer.
4.Consider water supply availability for models equipped with an automatic ice maker.
5.The refrigerator/freezer should be located where surrounding temperature will not exceed 110ºF (43ºC) or drop below 10°F
6.For ease of installation, proper air circulation and electrical connections, see Figure
7.For dynamic condenser models, DO NOT block the toe grille on the lower front of your freezer. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the proper operation of your freezer.
NOTE: The exterior walls of the refrigerator/freezer may become quite warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30°F warmer than room temperatures can be expected.
Leveling
The refrigerator/freezer must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator/freezer.
It is VERY IMPORTANT for your refrigerator/freezer to be level in order to function properly. If the refrigerator/freezer is not leveled during installation, the door/lid may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.
To Level Unit:
After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter’s level to level the refrigerator/freezer from front to back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left half way open. (See Figure
