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.)

Screws

➢ Some refrigerator models have

adjustable wheels and can be leveled

by removing the base grille* and

adjusting the wheels with a

1

⁄4" socket

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.

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

⁄2" clearance on the

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.

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.

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.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove foam insu-

lation from the vents located in the ceiling

of the fresh food compartment.
