Refrigerator Location
Do not install refrigerator where temperature will
be below 60°F. because it will not run often enough
to maintain proper temperatures.
Do install it on a floor strong enough to support it
Also see Energy-Saving Tips regarding location.
Rollers
Adjustable roller behind the base grille enable you to
move the refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning.
These rollers should be set so the refrigerator rests
firmly on the floor. To assure that the doors will close
automatically from a halfway-open position, there is a
built-in tilt from the front to the back of the cabinet.
Side-by-side refrigerators also have specially designed
door hinges that lift both doors slightly when opened,
allowing the force of gravity to help close them securely.
To adjust rollers,
remove the base grille by
grasping it at the bottom
and pulling it out.

Water Supply to Icemaker

You will need to connect your icemaker to a cold
water line. A water supply kit containing copper
tubing, shut-off valve, fittings and instructions is
available at extra cost from your dealer. There should
be sufficient tubing from the cold water supply to the
icemaker inlet to allow you to move the refrigerator
out from the wall several feet (approximately 8 feet of
1/4" copper tubing in three 10" diameter coils).
Do
not use kits with plastic tubing, since there
is water pressure in the supply line at all times.
Preparing for Vacation
For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods and
leave controls at regular settings. However, if room
temperature is expected to drop below 60°F., follow
instructions as in the Temperature Controls section.

storage pans, by taping them securely in place to
prevent damage.
Be sure refrigerator stays in upright position" during
actual moving and in van. Refrigerator must be
secured in van to prevent movement. Protect the
outside of the refrigerator with a blanket.
