GETTING READY TO INSTALL
THE REFRIGERATOR
Congratulations on your purchase of the Kenmore
refrigerator. We hope you enjoy the state-of-art features
and efficiencies that this new refrigerator offers.
Selecting the best location for the refrigerator.
• A location with easy access to the water suppl y.
• A location without dir ect exposure to sunlight.
• A location with level (or nearly level) flooring.
• A location with enough space for the
refrigerator
doors to open easily.
• Allow sufficient space for air ci rculation of the internal
cooling system. If the re frigerator does not have enough
space, the internal cooling system may not work
properly.
First thing! Make sur e that you can easily move your
refrigerator to its final location by measuring doorways
(both width and height), th resholds, ceilings,
stairways, etc.
The following chart details the exact height and depth
of your new Kenmore refrigerator.
CLEARANCES
• Allow clearance to the right, left, back, and top when
installing. This will help reduce power consumption
and keep your energy bills lower.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature
will go below 10ºC (50°F).
FLOORING
For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed
on a level surface of har d material that is the same
height as the re st of the flooring. This surface should
be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator
or appr oximately 223 lbs (106 kg). To protect the finish
of the flooring, cut a lar ge section of the cardboard carton
and place under the refrigerator where you are working.
When moving, be su re to pull the unit straight out and
push back in straight.
