FLOORING
For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed on a level
surface of hard material that is the same height as the rest of the
flooring. This surface should be strong enough to support a fully loaded
refrigerator, or approximately
660lbs(299kg). To protect the finish of the flooring, cut a large section
of the cardboard carton and place under the refrigerator where you are
working. When moving, be sure to pull the unit straight out and push
back in straight.
• Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help reduce power consumption and keep
your energy bills lower.
• Do not install the Refrigerator where the temperature will go below 50ºF (10ºC).
CAUTION
When moving your refrigerator
To prevent floor damage be sure the front leveling legs are in
the up position(above the floor).
Refer to ‘Leveling the refrigerator’ in the manual(at page 15)
