This Use & Care Manual provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this Use & Care Manual. Before starting the refrigerator, follow these important first steps.

Location

•Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

•If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight and away from the range, dishwasher or other heat sources.

•The refrigerator must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.

•Consider water supply availability for models equipped with an automatic ice maker.

Installation

caution

Do Not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures inside the refrigerator.

Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front of your refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the proper operation of your refrigerator.

important

If you install your refrigerator in a garage or other unheated area, you may experience freezer temperature problems during the winter months when temperatures dip below 55° F.

Upgrading your refrigerator with a Garage Kit will lower the minimum operating temperature of your unit to 34° F. This kit can be ordered through the Electrolux Solutions Hotline (see back cover).

Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access to a counter when removing food. To make this possible, the direction in which the doors open can be reversed. See Door Removal & Reversal Instructions.

note

If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow additional space so the door can be opened wider.

Leveling

All four corners of your refrigerator must rest firmly on a solid floor. Your refrigerator is equipped with adjustable front rollers or front leveling screws to help level your unit.

To Level Your Refrigerator:

1.Remove toe grille.

2.Use flat-blade screwdriver

or 3/8” socket wrench to adjust front rollers. Use adjustable wrench to adjust leveling screws.

note

Raise the front of the refrigerator enough so the doors close freely when opened halfway. The refrigerator should slope ¼” to ½” from front to back. Then level the refrigerator from side to side.
