Installation
.............................................................
Your new refrigerator
was packed carefully
for ship-
meN. Remove and discard shelf packing clips (if used)
located just above each shelf where they hook onto the
frame. To remove plastic clips wiggle the clips sideways
and pull sWaight out.
Location
• Allow for a free flow of air through the front base
grille.
• Install the refrigerator
where the room temperature
will not go below 55" E With temperatures
below 55",
the refrigerator
will not run frequently
enough
to
maintain proper temperature
in the freezer.
• Allow a minimum
1/2" clearance
on the sides, top
and back for ease of installation.
If refrigerator is
placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you
may want to allow additional space so the door can be
opened wider.
• Use caution when installing the unit on vinyl or hard-
wood floors so as not to mark or otherwise damage
the flooring. A piece of plywood, a rug or other mate-
rial should be used to protect the floor while posi-
tioning the unit.
Energy Saving Tips
• Locate
the refrigerator
away from heal producing
appliances such as the range or dishwasher, heat vents
and direct sunlight.
• Level the refrigerator
and do not block ventilation
around the front grille.
• Keep the freezer full to near capacity so less cold air
will escape during door openings. When the freezer is
less than two-thirds
full, place milk cartons half full
of water in the freezer.
• Let hot dishes cool slightly before putting into the
refrigerator or freezer.
• Cover liquids.
• Wipe moisture from the outside of containers before
placing them into the refrigerator.
• Avoid opening the doors too often.
Leveling
Your refrigerator is equipped with front and back rollers
so it can be moved away from the wall for cleaning. To
enhance
its appearance
and to maintain
performance,
your refrigerator
should
be level.
For refrigerator models with non-adjustable
wheels (such
as models MTB 1948 and MTB2148):
• Adjust the leveling/lock
screws beneath each front
corner
at the base
of
the cabinet.
Turn
these
leveling/lock
screws clockwise to raise a cabinet cor-
ner and counte_lockwise
to lower a cabinet comer
(see fig. 3).
* if the floor is not level and it is necessary to raise the
• rear of the cabinet, we suggest rolling the rear wheels
onto a piece of plywood or other shim material.
For other models:
Remove
the base grille by grasping both ends and
pulling straight out (see fig. I).
Adjust the wheels with a screwdriver or a I/4'" sock-
et (see fig. 2).
To prevent the refrigerator
from roiling, use the level-
ing/lock _rews. Turning down both leveling _rews
locks the cabinet into place (see fig. 3).
To replace the base grille, align the spring clips with
the round openings in the cabinet and push each end
in until the grille locks into place.
