body.
UNPACKING
Before installing your refrigerator, remove any tape

technical label of the product located on the back of the
refrigerator.
To remove adhesive tape residue, rub it well with your
fingers and a little liquid detergent. Clean with warm

The shelves come already installed in their factory
position. Remove the shelves and replace them
according to your spacing needs.
Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is extremely heavy. Make sure you
protect the floor when moving your refrigerator for
cleaning or servicing. Always pull your refrigerator
straight out when moving it. Do not shift from side
to side or “walk” the refrigerator when attempting to
move it as this can cause damage to the floor.

gasoline) away from the refrigerator. Not following

INSTALLATION
1.
Avoid placing the unit near heat sources, direct
sunlight, or humidity.

To avoid vibration, the unit should be leveled. If needed,
adjust the leveling screws to compensate for an
unleveled floor. The front should be slightly taller than
the rear to ensure that the doors close properly. The
leveling screws can easily be turned by slightly tilting
the front of the refrigerator, turning the leveling screws
clockwise (
) to raise it and counter-clockwise
(
) to lower it.
3.
Install the refrigerator in an area between 55 °F
(13 °C) and 110 °F (43 °C). If the surrounding temperature
is lower or higher than previously mentioned, it can
adversely affect the unit.
CAUTION:
Avoid placing the unit near heat
sources, direct sunlight or humidity.
