GENERAL INFORMATION
IMPORTANT !
Proper operation of your new refrigerator can be found in the User's Guide. Please review
carefully before you use it.
LOCATION
I. Select a location for your new refrigerator away from any heat sources. Allow a free flow
of air through the from base grille.
2. Your model should NOT be installed where the temperature will go below 55 degrees F
because it will not run frequently enough to maintain proper temperature in the freezer.
3, Fore ease of installation, you should leave a space of about one-half inch between your
refrigerator and adjacent wails or cabinets.
LEVELING
To enhance its appearance and maintain efficient performance, your refrigerator should be
level. The front wheels were adjusted at the factory so the cabinet would be level. However,
jarring in transit, or standing the refrigerator on an uneven floor may cause the cabinet to
appear unlevel.
If leveling is necessary, remove the base grille; then raise the stabilizing legs to clear the
floor. Adjust the wheels with a screwdriver as shown below. Tilt refrigerator back just
enough to allow easy turning of the adjusting screws.

SIDE-BY-SIDE
After leveling, turn the stabilizing legs down untit they make contact with the floor. For all
models: 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.
