Method
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 heat...including
direct
sunlight.
You can
install
it flush against
the wall
in back.
Leave
% inch
(1.3 cm] clearance
against
cabinets
on each
side for ease of instal-
lation. Do you want it in a corner?
Leave some room on the wall side
if you want the doors to open wider.
Planning
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 cabinets
to the pipes
under the sink.
Make Sure It's level.
Your refrigerator
is on rollers; the two front ones are adjustable
for
leveling.
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.
Peel Off the labels.
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 Tech Sheet fastened
behind
the base grill.
Wash It.
To clean
your refrigerator
before
using it, check
