INSTALLATION
Location
Allow for a free flow of air through the
front base grille.
Install the refrigerator where the room
temperature will not go below 55° F.
With temperatures below 55° F, the
refrigerator will not run frequently
enough to maintain proper tempera-
ture in the freezer.
Allow a minimum 1 " clearance on the
⁄
2
sides, top and back for ease of instal-
lation. If refrigerator is placed with the
door hinge side against a wall, you
may want to allow additional space or
reverse the door swing (see page 4)
so the door can be opened wider.
Use caution when installing the unit on
vinyl or hardwood floors so as not to
mark or otherwise damage the floor-
ing. A piece of plywood, a rug or other
material should be used to protect the
floor while positioning the unit.
Refrigerator should remain upright for
at least 30 minutes before plugging in.
Uncrate
Remove and retain levelers attached
to crate base.
Remove and discard crate base and
screws.
Using slip joint pliers, install levelers
all the way into holes located in the
front corners of the cabinet.

Screws
Your new refrigerator was packed care-
fully for shipment. Remove and discard
shelf packing clips (if used) located just
above each shelf where they hook onto
the frame. To remove plastic clips wiggle
the clips sideways and pull straight out.
Leveling
To enhance appearance and maintain
performance, the refrigerator should be
level. Depending on the model, the refrig-
erator can be leveled in one of two ways.
All refrigerator models have leveling
screws at the base of the cabinet
beneath each front corner. Levelers
can be adjusted by turning in or out as
required. If the floor is not level and it
is necessary to raise the rear of the
cabinet, use a piece of plywood or
other shim material. To lock the cabi-
net into place, turn down both leveling
screws. (See figure 1.)

Some refrigerator models
adjustable wheels and can be leveled
by removing the base grille* and
adjusting the wheels with a
or screwdriver. (See figure 2.)

* To remove the base grille, grasp both
ends and pull straight out. To replace,
align the spring clips with the round
openings in the cabinet and push each
end in until the grille locks into place.
For best results, after leveling the
cabinet, open and close the doors,
then relevel.
Ensure proper
air circulation
In order to ensure proper temperatures,
you need to permit air flow between the
refrigerator and freezer sections. As
shown in the illustration.
DO NOT block any of these vents with
food packages. If the vents are blocked,
airflow will be prevented and temperature
and moisture problems may occur.
