Installation Checks
• Anti-tip mounting bracket must be installed correctly
and anchored to prevent cabinet from tipping forward.
•
Module should be engaged in the slots on the module
positioning brackets and seated on the foam seal with-
out air gaps. Module positioning brackets should not be
removed.
• All wires from the lower cabinet to module must be
securely connected. If a problem is suspected, inspect
both male and female plugs and ensure that the termi-
nals in the plug are sufficiently forward to engage.
•
Cabinet must be level both side-to-side and front-to-
back. Front leveling legs should rest firmly on the floor.
Cabinetry on both sides of the cabinet must be secure
and level to prevent the cabinet from shifting when the
doors are opened.
•
Doors must not hit adjacent walls or countertops.
• Gaskets must seal completely. If gaskets seal well, no
further adjustments need to be made.
•
Do NOT overcrowd the shelves or block cold air ducts.
• Do NOT install a freezer shelf closer than 8 inches
from the interior top.
•
Do NOT allow packages to overhang sides or rear of
shelves as this will block air circulation, making the
freezer less efficient.
Common Installation Errors
• Any air leaks between the module and the cabinet will
keep the cabinet from operating efficiently.
•
The electric outlet must be located in a manner that will
not interfere with module to cabinet alignment when the
unit is pushed into place.
•
Power cord to outlet sitting under the power module will
create an air leak.
•
Plugs from cabinet not connected to the power module.
• Floor under products lower than finished floor making
the unit inaccessible for service. Floor under product
must be strong enough to support weight of fully loaded
refrigerator/freezer.
•
Product not anchored properly (to prevent tipping).
Bracket not secured to rear wall studs.
•
Failure to properly level the cabinet and/or power mod-
ule can result in defrost water overflowing.
INSTALLATION CHECKS/COMMON ERRORS
CONGRATULATIONS!
You are now the proud owner of a
superb, beautiful and durable addition to your kitchen. The
following information will help you get the most pleasure
from your purchase.
Using your refrigerator:
Cool flowing air keeps your refrigerated foods fresh. Large
containers placed close together may restrict the flow of air.
Space food so cool air can flow around it.
To retain maximum moisture and flavor, cover containers
or seal food in moisture proof wrap. Odorous foods which
might affect others should always be covered.
Meat, fish and poultry can be stored safely in the refrigera
-
tor section for a few days, but as a general rule, the freezer
should be utilized for longer storage.
Vegetables and fruits should be washed, dried and stored
in the slide-out crisper. They will last longer in closed plastic
containers or wrapped in plastic film.
Cover left-overs and use within a couple of days.
Shelves adjust to many positions, allowing versatile storage
and maximum use of space. The adjustable door shelves
hold abundant storage, even tall bottles. Firmly lock
shelves in place before use.
Do NOT block air coming into the refrigerator section.
Food or liquids can freeze if placed too close to inlet air.
All refrigerator crispers, and also the freezer basket sup
-
plied on the side-by-side models, are designed to be at the
very BOTTOM of their compartments.
