Preparing to install the refrigerator.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Refrigerator Location

Safety Instructions

Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 50°F (10°C) because it will not run often enough to maintain proper temperatures.

Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.

If the Model 2 is placed on a countertop or stand, the front surface of the door should be 3″ or more back from the edge of the countertop or stand to avoid accidental tipping of the appliance during normal use.

Do not install it closer than 5″ (13 cm) next to a range.

Do not install it in a recessed area.

Do not build in the refrigerator.

Operating Instructions

Clearances

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation and proper air circulation.

Sides

1/2″ (13 mm)

Top

2″ (51 mm)

Back

2″ (51 mm) from the rear cabinet surface

 

to the wall

Installation

Leveling Legs (on some models)

Adjustable legs at the front corners of the refrigerator should be set so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the floor and the front is raised just enough that the door closes easily when opened about halfway.

To adjust the leveling legs, turn the legs counterclockwise to raise the refrigerator, clockwise to lower it.

Turn counterclockwise to raise, clockwise to lower.
