NOTE
The exterior walls of the refrigerator may become quite
warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from
the inside. Temperatures as much as 30° F warmer than
room temperature can be expected. For this reason it is
particularly important in hotter climates to allow enough
space for air circulation around your refrigerator.
Leveling
The refrigerator must have all bottom corners resting
firmly on solid floor. The floor must be strong enough
to support a fully loaded refrigerator. NOTE: It is very
important for your refrigerator to be level in order to
function properly. If the refrigerator is not leveled during
installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or
seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
To Level Your Refrigerator:
After removing all interior and exterior packing materials,
crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter’s level
to level the refrigerator from front-to-back. Adjust the
plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the
door closes easily when left halfway open.
NOTE
The direction in which your refrigerator doors open
(door swing) can be reversed, from left to right or right
to left, by moving the door hinges from one side to the
other. Reversing the door swing should be performed
by a qualified person.
INSTALLATION
This Use & Care Guide provides general operating
instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as
instructed in this Use & Care Guide.
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.
• For the most efficient operation, the refrigerator
should be located where surrounding temperatures
will not drop below 10° F (-12° C) or exceed 110° F
(43° C). The Freeze Control Feature is designed
to automatically maintain the selected interior
refrigerator temperature within these boundaries.
•
Allow space around the unit for good air circulation.
Leave a 2 inch (50 mm) space on the back, 1 inch
(20 mm) on the sides, and 12 inches (300 mm)
above the refrigerator for adequate circulation.
