Jenn-Air Measuring the Opening, Transporting Your Refrigerator, Door and Hinge Removal

Location

•Do not install refrigerator near oven, radiator or other heat source. If not possible, shield refrigerator with cabinet material.

•Do not install where temperature falls below 55° F (13° C) or rises above 110° F (43° C). Malfunction may occur at this temperature.

•Refrigerator is designed for indoor household application only.

Measuring the Opening

When installing your refrigerator, allow '/2"space at top and '/;'space behind machine compartment cover (located in the rear) for proper air circulation. If the refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may want to allow additional space so the door can be opened wider.

Subflooring or floor coverings (i.e. carpet, tile, wood floors, rugs) may make your opening smaller than anticipated.

Some clearance may be gained by using the leveling procedure under Leveling.

IMPORTANT: If refrigerator is to be installed into a recess where the top of the refrigerator is completely covered, use dimensions from floor to top of hinge cap to verify proper clearance.

Transporting Your Refrigerator

•NEVER transport refrigerator on its side. If an

upright position is not possible, lay refrigerator on its back. Allow refrigerator to sit upright for approximately 30 minutes before plugging it in to assure oil returns to the compressor. Plugging refrigerator in immediately may cause damage to internal parts.

•Use an appliance dolly when moving refrigerator. ALWAYS truck refrigerator from its side or back-NEVER from its front.

•Protect outside finish of refrigerator during transport by wrapping cabinet in blankets or inserting padding between the refrigerator and dolly.

•Secure refrigerator to dolly firmly with straps or bungee cords. Thread straps through handles when possible. Do not overtighten. Overtightening restraints may dent or damage outside finish.

Door and Hinge Removal

Some installations require door removal to get refrigerator to final location.

1.Unplug power cord from power source.

2.Remove toe grille and bottom hinge covers (see page 7).

•Open both doors 180°, or as wide as possible.

For ice and water dispensing models only: Remove the left side hinge cover by carefully pulling the water line to pry the cover loose. Then continue to maintain downward pressure to the notched side of the cover while swinging it off (see page 7).

Note

•For refrigerators in operation, shut off water before removing water line from the door.

To Disconnect the Water Line:

•Push in white collar (A) and hold.

•Pull the door-side tube from the connector (B).

To Reconnect the Water Line:

•Firmly push tube "_8"into the connector. Use lines on the tube as a guide for full insertion.
