Legs
Adjustable roller behind the base grille enable you to
move the refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning.
These rollers should be set so the refrigerator rests
firmly on the floor. To assure that the doors will close
automatically from a halfway-open position, there is a
built-in tilt from the front to the back of the cabinet.
Side-by-side refrigerators
have specially designed
door hinges that lift both doors slightly when opened,

When adjusting front rollers for
proper door closure, we recommend that the bottom
front edge of the cabinet be approximately 5/8” from
the floor.

Water Supply to Icemaker
(on some models)
If your refrigerator has an icemaker, or if you plan to
add an icemaker later, the icemaker will have to be
connected to a cold water line. A water supply kit
containing copper tubing, shut-off valve, fittings and
instructions is available at extra cost from your dealer.
There should be sufficient tubing for the icemaker from
the cold water supply to allow you to move the
refrigerator out from the wall several feet (approximately
8 feet of 1/4” copper tubing in three 10” diameter coils).
Preparing to Move
Disconnect power cord from wall outlet, remove all
food, and clean and dry the interior.
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and
storage pans, by taping them securely in place to
prevent damage.
Be sure refrigerator stays in upright position during
actual moving and in van. Refrigerator must be
secured in van to prevent movement. Protect the
outside of the refrigerator with a blanket.
Preparing for Vacation
For extended vacations or absences, remove food
For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods and
and shut off power to the refrigerator. Clean the interior
leave controls at regular settings. However, if room
with baking soda solution of one tablespoon of soda to
temperature is expected to drop below
follow
one quart of water. Wipe dry. To prevent odors, leave
same instructions as for extended vacations. Move the
open box of soda in refrigerator. Leave doors open.
