These instructions were provided to aid
you in the installation of your refrigerator.
MEASURING THE
OPENING
A 1⁄2" of air space should be provided for
the back of the unit to allow for the
power cord and water line. When
installing your unit, measure carefully.
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 on page 9.
IMPORTANT: If unit is to be installed
into a recess where top of unit is
completely covered,use dimensions from
floor to top of hinge cap to verify proper
clearance.
TRANSPORTING YOU
REFRIGERATOR
Follow these tips when moving the unit
to final location:
➢NEVER transport unit on its side. If
an upright position is not possible, lay
unit on its back. Allow unit to sit
upright for approximately 30 minutes
prior to plugging unit in to assure oil
return to the compressor. Plugging
unit in immediately may cause damage
to internal parts.
➢Use an appliance dolly when moving
unit. ALWAYS truck unit from its
side–NEVER from its front or back.
➢Protect outside finish of unit during
transport by wrapping cabinet in
blankets or inserting padding between
the unit and dolly.
➢Secure unit 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.
SELECTING THE BEST
LOCATION
➢Allow for a free flow of air through
the front base grille.
➢Install the refrigerator where the
room temperature will not go below
55° F.With temperatures below 55° F,
the refrigerator will not run
frequently enough to maintain proper
temperature in the freezer.
➢Locate the refrigerator away from
heat producing appliances such as the
range or dishwasher, heat vents and
direct sunlight.
➢A minimum of 1⁄2" clearance is required
at the back. Allow 1⁄2" at the sides for
ease of installation. If refrigerator is
placed with the door hinge side against
a wall, you may want to allow
additional space.
➢Use caution when installing the
refrigerator on vinyl or hardwood
floors so as not to mark or otherwise
damage the flooring. A piece of
plywood, a rug or other material
should be used to protect the floor
while positioning the refrigerator.
HOW TO REMOVE THE
DOOR AND HINGES
Some installations require door removal
to transport refrigerator to its final
location.
To remove drawer, see instructions on
page 7.
To avoid electrical shock which can
cause severe personal injury or death,
observe the following:
➢Disconnect power to refrigerator
before removing doors. Connect
power only after replacing doors.
WARNING:
To avoid damage to walls and flooring,
protect soft vinyl or other flooring
with cardboard, rugs or other
protective material.
CAUTION:
