INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR
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.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will
go above 100°F (37°C) because it will not perform properly.
• Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.

PUT THE REFRIGERATOR IN PLACE
Move the refrigerator to its final location.

LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR
The leveling legs have 3 purposes:
1) The leveling legs adjust so the door closes
easily when opened about halfway. (The
front of the refrigerator should be 1/4
″
[6 mm] higher than the rear of the
refrigerator.)
2) The leveling legs adjust so the refrigerator is
firmly positioned on the floor and does not
wobble.
3) The leveling legs serve as a stabilizing brake
to hold the refrigerator securely in position
during operation and cleaning.
Turn the leveling legs clockwise to raise
the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.
CAUTION:
To avoid possible
personal injury or property damage,
the leveling legs must firmly touch
the floor.
