•Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go above 100°F (37°C) because it will not perform properly.

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

REMOVING THE REFRIGERATOR DOORS

•IMPORTANT NOTE: This refrigerator is 355/8” deep.

Doors and passageways leading to the installation location must be at least 36” wide in order to leave the doors and handles attached to the refrigerator while transporting it into the installation location. If passageways are less than 36”, the refrigerator doors and handles can easily be scratched and damaged. The top cap and doors can be removed to allow the refrigerator to be safely moved indoors. If passageways are less then 31”, the leveling legs must be removed as well. Start with Step 1.

•If it is not necessary to remove doors, skip to Step 11. Leave tape and all packaging on doors until the refrigerator is in the final location.

•NOTE: Use a padded hand truck to move this refrigerator. Place the refrigerator on the hand truck with a side against the truck. We strongly recommend that

TWO PEOPLE move and complete this installation.
