Preparation

Refrigerator/Freezer

Refrigerator/ freezer location

Do not install the refrigerator/freezer where

temperatures will be below 60°F (16°C) because it will not run often enough to maintain proper temperatures, and the refrigerator will develop high internal humidity.

For proper installation, the refrigerator/ freezer must be placed on a level surface of hard material the same height as the rest of the flooring. This surface should be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator/freezer, or approximately 1,200 lbs. each. See the Installation Instructions (Pub. No. 49-60073-3) for complete directions.

Clearances

If the refrigerator/freezer is to be installed in a corner, a 4″ clearance is required on the hinge side for a 90° door opening and access to fresh food drawers. A 15″ clearance is required on the hinge side to remove pans. A 25″ clearance is required on the hinge side for a full 130° door swing.

No other clearances at top, sides or back are required. See the Installation Instructions (Pub. No. 49-60073-3) for complete directions.

Leveling	These products have a 4-point leveling system.
	The front is supported by leveling legs, the
	rear is supported by wheels.
	•	Adjust rear wheels beneath the product to
		just barely touch the 2x4 block.
	•	Turn the 7/16″ hex nut located above the
		front wheels. Turn to raise or lower.
	•	For front leveling legs, use a 1-1/4″open-end
		wrench.
	•	Adjust carefully; the product should be level
		and plumb with cabinetry, and should align
		with toekick height.

wCAUTION–The rear leveling

wheels and front leveling legs are limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1″. If the installation requires more than 84-1/2″height,

the installer should elevate the refrigerator on a sheet of plywood or runners. Cabinetry trim could also be added across the top of the

opening to shorten the opening. If you attempt to raise the refrigerator more than 1″,

you will damage the front leveling legs and rear leveling wheels.

See the Installation Instructions (Pub. No. 49-60073-3) for complete directions.

wMISE EN GARDE–

Les roues de nivellement arrière et les pattes de nivellement avant permettent un réglage maximal de 25 mm (1 po). Si l’ouverture pour le réfrigérateur a une hauteur supérieure à 2,15 m (84-1/2 po), l’installateur doit élever le réfrigérateur sur une feuille de contre-plaqué ou des glissières. Il est également possible d’ajouter des baguettes de finition des placards sur le haut de l’ouverture afin de la réduire.

Lever le réfrigérateur de plus de 25 mm (1 po) endommage les pattes de nivellement avant et les roues de nivellement arrière.
