Installation - Frigidaire FFTR2021TSC Use & Care Manual

This Use & Care Guide provides general
operating instructions for your model. Use the
refrigerator only as instructed in this Use &
Care Guide. 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. If you do not hook up water to
the refrigerator, remember to turn the ice
maker off.
CAUTION
Do not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C) or
rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor
will not be able to maintain proper tempera-
tures inside the refrigerator.
Do not block the toe grille on the lower
front of your refrigerator. Sufficient air circu-
lation is essential for the proper operation of
your refrigerator.
