Preparing to install the refrigerator.

8

Leveling Legs 

(on some models)

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.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Before plugging in the refrigerator, let it stand for about two hours. This reduces the possibility of
problems with the cooling system due to moving and handling.

Refrigerator Location

Do not install the refrigerator where the

temperature will go below 50°F (10°C) because 

it will not run often enough to maintain proper

temperatures.
Install it on a floor strong enough to support it 

fully loaded.

Do not install it closer than 5

(13 cm) next to 

a range.
Do not install it in a recessed area.
Do not build in the refrigerator.

Clearances

Allow the following clearances for ease of

installation and proper air circulation.
