This Use & Care Manual provides specific
operating instructions for your model. Use the
refrigerator only as instructed in this Use & Care
Manual. Before starting the refrigerator,
follow these important first steps.
Location
• Choose a place that is near a grounded
electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension
cord or an adapter plug.
• If possible, place the refrigerator out of
direct sunlight and away from the range,
dishwasher or other heat sources.
• The refrigerator must be installed on a floor
that is level and strong enough to support
a fully loaded refrigerator.
• Consider water supply availability for models
equipped with an automatic ice maker.

Door Opening
Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow
easy access to a counter when removing food.
Leveling
All four corners of your refrigerator must rest
firmly on a solid floor. Your refrigerator is
equipped with adjustable front rollers or front
leveling screws to help level your unit.
To Level Your Refrigerator:
1. Remove toe grille.
2. Use flat-blade
screwdriver
or 3/8” socket
wrench to adjust
front rollers.
Use adjustable
wrench to adjust
leveling screws.
INSTALLATION
To make this possible, the direction in which
the doors open can be reversed. See Door
Removal & Reversal Instructions.
CAUTION
Do Not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C) or
rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor
will not be able to maintain proper
temperatures inside the refrigerator.
Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front
of your refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation
is essential for the proper operation of your
refrigerator.
IMPORTANT
If you install your refrigerator in a garage or
other unheated area, you may experience
freezer temperature problems during the winter
months when temperatures dip below 55° F.
Upgrading your refrigerator with a Garage
Kit will lower the minimum operating
temperature of your unit to 34° F. This
kit can be ordered through the Electrolux
Solutions Hotline (see back cover).

NOTE
If you see black coils/tubing on the back
of your refrigerator (air-cooled condenser)
leave 3” clearance at top of refrigerator.

NOTE
If your refrigerator is placed with the door
hinge side against a wall, you may have to
allow additional space so the door can be
opened wider.

NOTE
Raise the front of the refrigerator enough so
the doors close freely when opened halfway.
The refrigerator should slope ¼” to ½” from
front to back. Then level the refrigerator
from side to side.
