Proper installation is the responsibility of the
installer.
Product failure due to improper installation is
not covered under the Warranty.
Do not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will go below 13°C because it will
not run often enough to maintain proper
temperatures.
Install it on a floor strong enough to support it
fully loaded.
Do not install it closer than 5” (13 cm) next to a
range.
Allow for the following clearances for ease of
installation, proper air circulation and plumbing
and electrical connections:
- Sides 1” (2.5 cm)
- Top 2” (5.1 cm)
- Back 2” (5.1 cm) from the rear cabinet
surface to the wall.
To raise the refrigerator
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, counter-
clockwise to lower it.
