Preparing To Install The Refrigerator; Reversing The Door Swing - GE 12 Manuel D'utilisation

Preparing to install the refrigerator.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Refrigerator Location
Do not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will go below 55°F (13°C) because
it will not run often enough to maintain proper
temperatures.
Clearances
Allow the following clearances for ease of
installation and proper air circulation.
Sides 1² (25 mm)
Top 4² (102 mm)
Back 3² (76 mm) from the rear cabinet surface
Leveling Legs
Adjustable legs at the front corners of the
refrigerator should be set so the refrigerator is firmly
positioned on the floor and the front is raised just
enough that the door closes easily when opened
about halfway.
To adjust the leveling legs, turn the legs clockwise to
raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.
