Frigidaire Installation and Preparation Guide for the CFPWD15W Refrigerator

Prepare appliance for mounting

Due to higher center of gravity of appliance on ped- estals, some side-to-side rocking is normal during operation. Vibration can be minimized by assuring appliance is installed properly, including being level and solid on all four (4) legs by following these directions.

1.If washer or dryer is new and has not been installed yet, skip to step 4.

2.If dryer is already installed, disconnect dryer from electrical and gas connections and exhaust venting.

3.If washer is already installed, disconnect washer from electrical connection. Turn off hot and cold water supply and disconnect hot and cold water supply hoses from water supply outlets.

Disconnect drain hose from drain pipe. Remove hole plugs from back sheet and reinstall shipping braces and bolts.

4.Protect floor and unit with cardboard or rug and carefully lay the appliance on its side and screw each leg completely into the base.

- EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD - To avoid back or other injury, have more than one person move or lift the appliance.

DO NOT use open dispenser drawer of washer or dispenser cavity as hand-hold location when tipping washer on its side. Serious damage could occur to your washer.

If feet are not completely screwed in, mounting holes in appliance will not align to mounting holes in brackets.

5.If appliance has metal feet with a locking nut, unscrew them, remove the locking nut and reinstall the feet flush to the base.

If locking nuts are not removed on units with metal feet, mounting holes in appliance will not align to mounting holes in brackets.
