REFRIGERATOR
LOCATION
= Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature 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.
CLEARANCES
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation
and plumbing and electrical
connections.
* Sides 3/4" (19 mm)
* Top 1" (25 mm)
* Back 2" (50 mm)
ROLLERS
AND
LEVELING
LEGS
Leveling legs near each front corner of the refrigerator
are
adjustable. They firmly position the refrigerator
and prevent
it from moving when the doors are opened. Leveling legs
should be set so the front of the refrigerator
is raised just
enough that the doors close easily when opened about
halfway.
Turn the leveling legsclockwise to raise the refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower it.
Rollers next to the leveling legs allow you to move the
refrigerator
away from the wall for cleaning.
Turn the legs counterclockwise
until the weight of the
refrigerator
is transferred from them to the rollers. After
rolling the refrigerator
back into place, turn the legs
clockwise until the legs again bear the weight of the
refrigerator.
