Pick the Right Place.
Save steps by
putting
your refrigerator
near the sink and next to a
countertop.
It should
not be near a stove, radiator,
water
heater
or
any source of heattincluding
direct
sunlight.
You can install it flush against
the wall in back.
Leave
' 2 inch (1.3
cm) clearance
against
cabinets
on each
side for ease
of installa-
tion. Do you want it in a corner?
Leave some room on the wall side if
you want the doors to open wider.
Do you have
or plan to add
the automatic
ice maker?
Will the
refrigerator
be near a cold water
pipe?
Some people
run the water
line through
the floor to the basement.
Others run it behind
the cabi-
nets to the pipes
under the sink.
Make
Sure It's Level.
Your refrigerator
is on rollers, the two front ones are adjustable
for
!eveling.
Remove
the base
grill to uncover
the leveling
screws.
With a
screwdriver,
turn each
screw to the right to raise the front. Turn them
to the left to lower the front. [If you have someone
tilt the top of the
refrigerator
back while turning,
it will be easier.]
Keep
adjusting
one or the other until the refrigerator
won't rock.
Then raise or lower both by the same number
of turns until the refrig-
erator IS level (use a level to check
this). If you don't have a level, the
refrigerator
will be about
right when you can open
the doors
part
way and they
will stay where
you
put them.
Remove
the Label and Clean.
Remove
the Consumer
Buy Guide
label
and other
inside
labels
before
using the refrigerator.
Any glue
left can
be taken
off with
rubbing
alcohol.
Do not remove
the label
giving
operating
instructions
for the
Refrigerator
and Freezer
Controls
or the Tech Sheet fastened
be-
hind the base grill.

your refrigerator
before
using it, check
