INSTALLATION (continued)
1.
To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be
leveled and installed on a solidly constructed
fl
oor. If
required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate for
unevenness of the
fl
oor. The front should be slightly
higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling
legs can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet
slightly. Turn the leveling legs counterclockwise to raise
the unit or clockwise to lower it. (See
LEVELING AND
DOOR ALIGNMENT
.)
NOTE:
Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces,
a platform or weakly supported structure is not
recommended.
2.
Install this appliance in an area where the temperature
is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F (43°C). If the
temperature around the appliance is too low or high,
cooling ability may be adversely a
ff
ected.
3.
Select a place where a water supply can be easily
connected for the automatic icemaker.
NOTE:
The water pressure must be between 20 and
120 psi on models without a water
fi
lter and between
40 and 120 psi on models with a water
fi
lter.
4.
Too small of a distance from adjacent items may
result in lowered freezing capability and increased
electricity consumption charges. Allow at least 24
inches (61 cm) in front of the refrigerator to open the
doors.
BASE GRILLE INSTALLATION
To remove the base grille:
1)
Open the doors (refrigerator and freezer).
2)
Once the doors are open, remove the two screws
from the base grille. Remove the base grille and set
safely aside.
3)
Reattach screws to the base of refrigerator.
To replace the base grille:
1)
Remove the two screws from the bottom front part
of refrigerator.
2)
Place base grille into position and insert and
tighten screws.
INSTALLATION
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115
Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 amperes (minimum).
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a
fi
re
hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION
Shock Hazard:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the
refrigerator in a wet or damp area.

To avoid risk of injury or electrical shock, do not put
hands or metal objects into the air vents, base grille, or
bottom opening of the refrigerator.
