PREPARATION

Clearances Water Supply to Icemaker (on some models)

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air

circulation and plumbing and electrical connections:

Sides..........................................................................19 mm (3/4²)

Top.............................................................................25 mm (1²)

Back...........................................................................25 mm (1²)

If Model 19, 22, or 25 is to be installed against a wall on the hinge side,

allow 44 mm (13⁄4 ²) for door clearance.

If your refrigerator has an icemaker, or if you plan to add an

icemaker later, the icemaker will have to be connected to a cold

drinking water line.

A water supply kit containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings

and instructions is available at extra cost from your local distributor.

There should be sufficient tubing from the cold water supply to the

icemaker inlet to allow moving the refrigerator out from the wall

several feet [approximately 244 cm (8¢) of 1/4²copper tubing in three

25 cm (10²) diameter coils].

Do not use kits with plastic tubing since there is water pressure in the

supply line at all times.

Maximum permissible inlet water pressure—8.3 bars (120 p.s.i.).

Minimum permissible inlet water pressure—1.4 bars (20 p.s.i.).

Installation of icemaker must be made by a qualified service technician.

Rollers

Some models have adjustable rollersthat allow you to move the

refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning. Rollers should be set so

the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the floor and the front is raised

just enough [about 19 mm (3/4²) from the floor] that the doors close

easily when opened about halfway.

Remove the base grille by

grasping the bottom of the grille

and pulling it out.

Turn the two front roller adjusting screws

clockwiseto raise the refrigerator,

counterclockwiseto lower it.

To replace the basegrille, line

up the clips on the back of the

grille with the openings in the

base plate and push the grille

forward until it snaps into place.

When You Go on Vacation When You Move

For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods and leave

controls at regular settings. However, if room temperature is

expected to drop below 16°C (60°F), follow the same instructions

as for extended vacations.

For extended vacations or absences, shut off the power to the

refrigerator, move the fresh food control to the “0” position, and

clean the interior with a baking soda solution of 15 ml (1 tablespoon)

of baking soda to one liter (1 quart) of water. Wipe dry. To prevent

odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator. Leave

doors open.

Move icemaker feeler arm to STOP (up) position and be sure to shut

off water supply to the refrigerator.

Disconnect power cord from wall outlet, remove all food, and clean

and dry the interior.

Secure all loose itemssuch as grille, shelves and storage pans by

taping them securely in place to prevent damage.

Be sure refrigerator stays in upright positionduring actual moving and

in van. Refrigerator must be secured in van to prevent movement.

Protect outside of refrigerator with blanket.
