Your new refrigerator was packed carefully for
shipment. Remove and discard shelf packing clips (if
used) located just above each shelf where they hook
onto the frame. To remove plastic clips, wiggle the clips
sideways and pull straight out.
Installation
Location
• Allow for a free flow of air through the front base
grille.
• Install the refrigerator where the room temperature
will not go below 55˚ F. With temperatures below 55˚,
the refrigerator will not run frequently enough to
maintain proper temperature in the freezer.
• Allow a minimum 1/2” clearance on the sides, top
and back for ease of installation. 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.
• Use caution when installing the unit on vinyl or
hardwood floors so as not to mark or otherwise
damage the flooring. A piece of plywood, a rug or
other material should be used to protect the floor
while positioning the unit.
Leveling
To enhance appearance and to maintain optimal
performance, the refrigerator must be level. Your
refrigerator has wheels which can be adjusted for
leveling:
• Remove the lower hinge covers (see fig. 1). To do
this, grasp each cover near the hinge and apply pres-
sure. The attachment tabs will snap out, allowing
removal of the covers.
• Adjust the wheels with a screwdriver (see fig. 2).
• To lock the cabinet in place, turn down both leveling/lock
feet, located near the front wheels (see fig 3).
• Replace the hinge covers.
• 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.

Energy-Saving Tips
• Locate the refrigerator away from heat-producing
appliances such as the range or dishwasher, heat vents
and direct sunlight.
• Level the refrigerator and do not block ventilation
around the front grille.
• Keep the freezer full to near capacity so less cold air
will escape during door openings. When the freezer is
less than two-thirds full, place milk cartons half full
of water in the freezer.
• Let hot dishes cool slightly before putting into the
refrigerator or freezer.
• Cover liquids.
• Wipe moisture from the outside of containers before
placing them into the refrigerator.
• Avoid opening the doors too often.
