REFRIGERATOR LOCATION

•Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 55°F (13°C) because it will not run often enough to maintain proper temperatures.

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

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

CLEARANCES

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical connections.

•Sides 1″ (2.5 cm)

•Top 4″ (10.2 cm)

•Back 3″ (7.6 cm) from the coiling on the back to the wall

To help with proper spacing and ventilation, make sure the metal spacer or twist-on rubber bumper (at the back of some models) is in place.

LEVELING LEGS

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 clockwise to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.
