Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR
REFRIGERATOR LOCATION
•Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 60°F (16°C) because it will not run often enough to maintain proper temperatures.
•Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go above 100°F (37°C) because it will not perform properly.
•Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
CLEARANCES
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical connections.
| Standard Depth |
| Models |
Sides | 1/8″ (3 mm) |
Top | 1″ (25 mm) |
Back | 1″ (25 mm) |
1PLUG IN THE REFRIGERATOR
On models with an icemaker, before plugging in the refrigerator, make sure the icemaker power switch is set to the O (off) position.
See the grounding information attached to the power cord.
2PUT THE REFRIGERATOR IN PLACE
Move the refrigerator to its final location.
3LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR
Adjustable legs at the front corners of the refrigerator should be set so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the floor, and the front is raised just enough that the door closes easily when opened about halfway.
To adjust the leveling legs, turn the legs clockwise to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.
