INSTALLATION AND LEVELING
WARNING: Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away form refrigerator. Failure to do so
can result in death, explosion, or burns.
Locate unit on a flat and firm ground.
Choose a well-ventilated space. To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow 4” of space around the
unit.
If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave sufficient space on the hinge side to allow room for
the door to swing open.
Never install your refrigerator near heat sources and direct sunlight.
If the refrigerator is not leveled during installation, the doors may not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost,
or moisture problems. It is very important that the refrigerator is leveled in order to function properly.
To level your refrigerator, turn the level leg clockwise to raise or counter–clockwise to lower.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator to tilt the unit will take some weight off the leveling
legs, making it easier to adjust.

To remove any tape or glue residue, rub the area briskly with thumb.
Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive

These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator.
