REFRIGERATOR LOCATION

will go below 55°F (13°C) because it will not run often
enough to maintain proper temperatures.
• Install it on a floor strong enough to support it
fully loaded.
• Do not install it closer than 5" (13 cm) next to a range.

proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical
connections.
• Sides 1" (2.5 cm)
• Top 4" (10.2 cm)

the metal spacer or twist-on rubber bumper (at the back
of some models) is in place.

LEVELING LEGS

Adjustable legs at the front corners of the refrigerator
should be set so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on
the floor, and the front is raised just enough that the
door closes easily when opened about halfway.
To adjust the leveling legs, turn the legs clockwise to
raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.
