REFRIGERATOR LOCATION

will go below 60°F (16°C) because it will not run often
enough to maintain proper temperatures.
• Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully
loaded.

proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical
connections.
• Sides 3/4" (19 mm)
• Top 1" (25 mm)
• Back 1" (25 mm)
ROLLERS AND LEVELING LEGS
Leveling legs near each fi'ont corner
of the refi'igerator
are adjustable. They firmly position the refi'igerator
and prevent it fi'om mox;mg when the doors are
opened. Leveling legs should be set so the fi'ont of the
refi'igerator is raised just enough that the doors close
easily when opened about halfway.
Turn the leveling legs clockwise to raise the
refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower iL
Rollers next to the leveling legs allow you to move the
refi'igerator away fi'om tbe wall for cleaning.
Turn the legs counterclockwise until the weight of the
refrigerator is transferred fi'om them to the rollers.
After rolling the refrigerator back into place, turn the
legs clockwise until the legs again bear tbe weight of
the refrigerator.
