Installation - Maytag MTB1504ARW Use & Care Manual

Installation
Your new refrigerator was packed carefully for
shipment. Remove and discard shelf packing and tape.
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 ° E the refrigerator will not run frequently enough
to maintain proper temperature in the freezer.
• Allow a minimum '/2" clearance on the sides, top and
back for ease of installation. If refrigerator is placed
with the door hinge side against a wall, you may
want to allow additional space 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 flooring. A piece of plywood, a rug or
other material should be used to protect the floor
while positioning the unit.
Front Base Grille
The front base grille was packaged inside the
refrigerator for shipment and should be installed after
the refrigerator has been leveled.
To Install:
Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two Phillips
head screws at the base of the refrigerator.
Align the base grille to the screw holes. (The cut out
side on the base grille installs around the lower
hinge of the door.)
Secure the base grille into place by reinstalling the
Phillips screws back into their original screw holes.
Leveling
To enhance its appearance and to maintain
performance, your refrigerator should be leveled after it
has been rolled into its final location.
• Adjust the leveling/lock screws beneath each front
corner at the base of the cabinet. Turn these
leveling/lock screws clockwise to raise a cabinet
corner and counterclockwise to lower a cabinet
corner.

Energy Saving Tips
• Locate the refrigerator away from heat producing
appliances such as the range or dishwasher, heat
vents and direct sunlight.
• Level the refrigerator and do not block ventilation
around the front base grille.
• Let hot dishes cool slightly before putting into the
refrigerator or freezer.
• Cover liquids.
Keep the freezer full to near capacity so less cold air
will escape during door openings. When the freezer
is less than 2/3 full, place milk cartons half full of
water in the freezer.
• Wipe moisture from the outside of containers before
placing them into the refrigerator.
• Avoid opening the doors too often.
• If the floor is not level and it is necessary to raise the
rear of the cabinet, we suggest rolling the rear
wheels onto a piece of plywood or other shim
material.
