INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER
Select Location
The proper location will ensure peak performance of your
appliance. We recommend a location where the unit will
be out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. To
ensure your product performs to specifications the recom-
mended installation location temperature range is from 55
to 100°F (13 to 38°C).
Cabinet Clearance
Ventilation is required from the bottom front section of the
unit. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions.
Adjacent cabinets and counter top can be installed around
the unit as long as the grille and door access remain unob-
structed.
CAUTION
!
Front Grille
Do not obstruct the front grill. The openings within the front
grill allow air to flow through the condenser heat exchanger.
Restrictions to this air flow will result in increased energy
usage and loss of cooling capacity. For this reason it is im-
portant this area to not be obstructed and the grill openings
kept clean. AGA MARVEL does not recommend the use of
custom made grills as air flow may be restricted because of
inadequate openings. (See Figure 2).

Leveling Legs
Leveling Legs
Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the unit
should be set so the unit is firmly positioned on the floor
and level from side to side and front to back. The overall
height of your appliance may be adjusted from
33
⁄
" (85.7cm) with the leveling legs turned in, and up to
3
4
34
⁄
" (88.3cm) with the leveling legs extended.

To adjust the leveling legs, place the appliance on a solid
surface and protect the floor beneath the legs to avoid
scratching the floor. With the assistance of another person,
lean the appliance back enough to access the front leveling
legs and remove the weight. Raise or lower the legs to the
required dimension by turning the legs. Repeat this process
for the rear by tilting the appliance forward using caution to
prevent the door from opening. On a level surface check
the appliance for levelness and adjust accordingly.
The front grille (toe kick) screws may be loosened and ad-
justed to the desired height. When adjustment is complete
tighten the two toe kick screws. (See Figure 3).
