First Steps
ROLLER ADJUSTING
Adjusting Front Rollers
Replacing Toe Grill
Before starting the refrigerator, follow these important first steps:
Location
•
Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. DO NOT use an
extension cord or an adapter plug.
•
If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight and away from the range,
dishwasher or other heat sources.
•
The refrigerator must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough
to support a fully loaded refrigerator.
•
Consider water supply availability for models equipped with an automatic ice
maker.
Installation
•
If you need to remove the handles to move the refrigerator through narrow
doorways, follow steps 7 and 8 in the "Reversible Door Instructions."
•
Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 60°F
(15°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain
proper temperatures.
•
In a recessed installation, allow an extra 1/2 inch (10-15 mm) on each side for
ease of installation.
•
If the hinge side of the unit will be placed against a wall, allow a 1 3/4 inch
(44 mm) space between the wall and the refrigerator.
Door Opening
The doors should open to allow easy access to a counter when removing food.
• Do not position the refrigerator so you have to walk around the refrigerator doors.
• Reverse the doors if necessary. See "Reversible Door Instructions."
BOLT
Leveling
All four corners of the refrigerator must rest firmly on a solid floor.
1 . Open refrigerator door and remove toe grill.
2 . Use a 3/8" socket wrench or nutdriver to adjust rollers as shown. RAISE THE
FRONT of cabinet enough so doors will close freely when opened halfway.
3 . Level cabinet side to side.
4 . Replace toe grill, line up clips with holes, and push grill straight on.
Cleaning
•
Wash the inside, all removable parts and the outside with mild detergent and
warm water. Wipe dry. DO NOT USE HARSH CLEANERS ON THESE SURFACES.
•
Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the
appliance surface, when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the
tape or energy label can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent, or, touch the residue with the sticky side of tape already removed.
•
DO NOT REMOVE THE SERIAL PLATE.
