Installation Instructions
Preparing to install the refrigerator.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Water Supply to the Icemaker
If the refrigerator has an icemaker, it will have to be
connected to a cold water line. A water supply kit (containing copper tubing,
shutoff valve, fittings and instructions) is available
at extra cost from your dealer or from Parts and
Accessories, 800.626.2002.
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 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .0

″ (30 cm)
If the unit is to be installed into a recess where
the top of the unit is completely covered, use
dimensions from the floor to the top of the hinge
cover to verify proper clearance.
Rollers
The rollers have 3 purposes:
Rollers adjust so the door closes easily when
opened about halfway. [Front of refrigerator
should be 1/4
″ (6 mm) higher than the rear
of refrigerator.]
Rollers adjust so the refrigerator is firmly
positioned on the floor and does not wobble.
Rollers allow you to move the refrigerator away
from the wall for cleaning.
To adjust the rollers:
Remove the base grille.
Turn the roller adjusting
screws clockwise to
raise the refrigerator,
counterclockwise to
lower it. Use a 3/8
″
socket wrench or
adjustable wrench. Set
the stabilizing brake.
See Stabilizing Brake.
Base Grille
Remove end
cap(s), then
remove the base
grille by grasping
it at the bottom
and pulling it
straight out. To replace the base
grille, align prongs on
back of grille with slots
in cabinet and push
forward until the
grille snaps into place.
Snap the top of the
end caps on first,
then the bottom.
