NOTE
If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side
against a wall, you may have to allow additional space
so the door can be opened wider.
NOTE
Raise the front of the refrigerator enough so the doors
close freely when opened halfway. The refrigerator
should slope 1/4” to 1/2” from front to back. Then
level the refrigerator from side-to-side.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Do Not install the refrigerator where the temperature
will drop below 55°F (13°C) or rise above 110°F
(43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain
proper temperatures inside the refrigerator.
Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front of your
refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the
proper operation of your refrigerator.
