Installation
This refrigerator is designed to be either free-standing or built-in. It has a fan at
the bottom of the unit to direct compressor-generated heat away from the
compressor and through vents in the back of the unit. The airflow from the vents
at the back of the system must be unimpeded. Allow a minimum clearance of 4
at the back of the unit to ensure proper air circulation. The adjacent cabinets and
counter top can be built around the unit as long as no top trim or counter top is
installed lower than the top of the upper door hinge. For built-in operation, once
the unit is positioned, the leveling legs should be turned to level the refrigerator.
Installation should be such that the cabinet can be moved for servicing if
necessary.
If you wish the unit to be mobile, the four supplied rolling casters can be attached
to the bottom of the unit. These casters can be locked into place when the
refrigerator is in the desired location.
Note:
The unit can be free-standing with either the leveling legs or the
rolling casters.
The door handle is connected to the left edge of the door with four screws.
To reverse the door opening,
use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the
handle from the left edge of the door, and then screw it onto the right. It will be
necessary to switch the locations of the upper and lower door hinges. To do this,
follow these steps:
1. Remove the screw on top of the refrigerator that holds the triangular
hinge cover, using a Phillips screwdriver.
2. Remove the two hex nuts holding the upper hinge bracket to the top of
the refrigerator, using an adjustable wrench or a 5/16 hex socket
driver. Lift off the bracket, being careful not to lose the small black
gasket on the hinge pin.
3. Lift the door off the lower hinge bracket and tilt the refrigerator
backwards.
