Rollers~eveling Legs

Adjustable roller behind the base grille enable you to move the refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning. These rollers should be set so the refrigerator rests firmly on the floor. To assure that the doors will close automatically from a halfway-open position, there is a built-in tilt from the front to the back of the cabinet. Side-by-side refrigerators dso have specially designed door hinges that lift both doors slightly when opened, allowing the force of gravity to help close them securely.

To adjust rollers, remove the base grille by grasping it at the bottom and pulling it out.

~rn roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.

When adjusting front rollers for

proper door closure, we recommend that the bottom front edge of the cabinet be approximately 5/8” from the floor.

To replace base grille, align prongs on back of grille with clamps in cabinet and push forward until the grille snaps into place.

Water Supply to Icemaker (on some models) Preparing to Move

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 water line. A water supply kit containing copper tubing, shut-off valve, fittings and instructions is available at extra cost from your dealer. There should be sufficient tubing for the icemaker from the cold water supply to allow you to move the refrigerator out from the wall several feet (approximately 8 feet of 1/4” copper tubing in three 10” diameter coils).

Disconnect power cord from wall outlet, remove all food, and clean and dry the interior.

Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and storage pans, by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.

Be sure refrigerator stays in upright position during actual moving and in van. Refrigerator must be secured in van to prevent movement. Protect the outside of the refrigerator with a blanket.

Preparing for Vacation

For extended vacations or absences, remove food and shut off power to the refrigerator. Clean the interior with baking soda solution of one tablespoon of soda to one quart of water. Wipe dry. To prevent odors, leave open box of soda in refrigerator. Leave doors open.

For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods and leave controls at regular settings. However, if room temperature is expected to drop below 60°F., follow same instructions as for extended vacations. Move the icemaker feeler arm to the STOP (up) position and be sure to shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
