NSTALLATION
Location
• Do not install refrigerator near oven, radiator or
other heat source. If not possible, shield refrigerator
with cabinet material.
• Do not install where temperature falls below 55° F
(13° C) or rises above 110° F (43° C). Mal function
may occur at this temperature.
• Refrigerator is designed for indoor household
application only.
Measuring the Opening
When installing your refrigerator, allow
top and

(located in the rear) for proper air circulation. If the
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.
Subflooring or floor coverings (i.e. carpet, tile, wood
floors, rugs) may make your opening smaller than
anticipated.
Some clearance may be gained by using the leveling
procedure under Leveling, page 5.
Important: If refrigerator is to be installed into a
recess where the top of the refrigerator is completely
covered, use dimensions from floor to top of hinge cap
to verify proper clearance.
Transporting Your Refrigerator
• NEVER transport refrigerator on its side. If an
upright position is not possible, lay refrigerator
on its back. Allow refrigerator to sit upright for
approximately 30 minutes before plugging it in
to assure oil returns to the compressor. Plugging
refrigerator in immediately may cause damage to
internal parts.

• Use an appliance dolly when moving refrigerator.
ALWAYS truck refrigerator from its side or back–
NEVER from its front.
• Protect outside finish of refrigerator during transport
by wrapping cabinet in blankets or inserting padding
between the refrigerator and dolly.
• Secure refrigerator to dolly firmly with straps or
bungee cords. Thread straps through handles when
possible. Do not over-tighten. Over- tightening
restraints may dent or damage outside finish.
