Follow these tips when moving the unit
to final location:
➢
NEVER transport unit on its side. If
an upright position is not possible, lay
unit on its back. Allow unit to sit
upright for approximately 30 minutes
prior to plugging unit in to assure oil
return to the compressor. Plugging
unit in immediately may cause damage
to internal parts.
➢
Use an appliance dolly when moving
unit. ALWAYS truck unit from its
side–NEVER from its front or back.
➢
Protect outside finish of unit during
transport by wrapping cabinet in
blankets or inserting padding between
the unit and dolly.
➢
Secure unit to dolly firmly with straps
or bungee cords. Thread straps
through handles when possible. DO
NOT overtighten. Overtightening
restraints may dent or damage
outside finish.

➢
Allow for a free flow of air through
the front base grille.
➢
Install the refrigerator where the
room temperature will not go below
55° F. With temperatures below 55° F,
the refrigerator will not run
frequently enough to maintain proper
temperature in the freezer.
➢
Locate the refrigerator away from
heat producing appliances such as the
range or dishwasher, heat vents and
direct sunlight.
➢
A minimum of
1

" clearance is required
at the back. Allow
1

ease of installation. If refrigerator is
placed with the door hinge side against
a wall, you may want to allow
additional space.
➢
Use caution when installing the
refrigerator on vinyl or hardwood
floors so as not to mark or otherwise
damage the flooring.
A piece of
plywood, a rug or other material
should be used to protect the floor
while positioning the refrigerator.
