Refrigerator Location
Do not instill refrigerator where temperature will go below 60°F. because it will not run often enough to maintain proper temperatures.
Do install it on a floor strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.
The location of your refrigerator is important. To save energy avoid locating it next to a range, a heating vent or where tie sun will shine directly on it.

Leveling Legs
Leveling legs near each front corner of the refrigerator are adjustable. They firmly position the refrigerator and prevent it from moving when the doors are opened. Leveling legs should be set so the front of the refrigerator is raised just enough that the doors close easily when opened about halfway.
Turn the leveling legs counterclockwise to raise the refrigerator, clockwise to lower it.
Preparing to Move
Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet, remove all food and clean and dry the interior.
Secure all loose items such as shelves, storage drawers and ice trays by taping them securely in place to prevent damage, and raise the leveling legs.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during actual moving and in the van. The refrigerator must be secured in the van to prevent movement. Protect the outside of the refrigerator with a blanket.
Preparing for Vacation
For extended vacations or absences, shut off power to the refrigerator, turn the temperature control to the 0~ position, and clean the interior with baking soda solution of one tablespoon of baking soda to one quart of water. Wipe dry. To prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in refrigerator. Leave the doors open.
For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods and leave the controls at regular settings. However, if room temperature is expected to drop below 60°F., follow same instructions as for extended vacations.
Door Handle
The door handle is stored inside the refrigerator. Use a Phillips screwdriver to install the door handle.
