PREPARATION
Clearances
Refrigerator Location
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air
circulation and plumbing and electrical connections:
Sides ..........................................................................3/4
″
(19 mm)
Top.............................................................................1
″
(25 mm)
Back...........................................................................1
″
(25 mm)
Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go
below 60°F. (16°C.) because it will not run often enough to maintain
proper temperatures.
Do install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
To keep energy costs down, avoid locating the refrigerator next to the
range or a heating vent.

When You go on Vacation
When You Move
For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods and leave
controls at regular settings. However, if room temperature is
expected to drop below 60°F. (16°C.), follow the same instructions
as for extended vacations.
For extended vacations or absences, shut off the power to the
refrigerator, move the fresh food control to the “
” position, and
clean the interior with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon
(15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 L) of water. Wipe dry. To
prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator.
Leave doors open.
Move icemaker feeler arm to STOP (up) position and be sure to shut
off water supply to the refrigerator.
Disconnect power cord from wall outlet, remove all food, and clean
and dry the interior.
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves, storage drawers and ice
trays by taping them securely in place to prevent damage and raise
leveling legs.
Be sure refrigerator stays in upright position during actual moving and
in van. Refrigerator must be secured in van to prevent movement.
Protect outside of refrigerator with blanket.
Rollers and Leveling Legs
Leveling legs near each front corner of the
refrigerator are adjustable. They firmly
position the refrigerator and prevent it from
moving when the doors are opened. Leveling
legs should be set so the front of the
refrigerator is raised just enough that the
doors close easily when opened about
halfway.
Turn the leveling legs clockwise to raise the
refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.
Rollers next to the leveling legs allow you to
move the refrigerator away from the wall for
cleaning.
Turn the legs counterclockwise until the weight
of the refrigerator is transferred from them to
the rollers. After rolling the refrigerator back
into place, turn the legs clockwise until the legs
again bear the weight of the refrigerator.

If your refrigerator has an icemaker, or if you plan to add an
icemaker later, the icemaker will have to be connected to a cold
drinking water line.
A water supply kit containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings
and instructions is available at extra cost from your local distributor.
There should be sufficient tubing from the cold water supply to the
icemaker inlet to allow moving the refrigerator out from the wall
several feet (approximately 8 feet [244 cm] of 1/4
″
copper tubing in
three 10
″
[25 cm] diameter coils).
Do not use kits with plastic tubing since there is water pressure in the
supply line at all times.
Maximum permissible inlet water pressure—120 PSI (8.3 bars).
Minimum permissible inlet water pressure—20 PSI (1.4 bars).
Installation of icemaker must be made by a qualified service technician.
