• If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight
and away from the range, dishwasher or other heat

and strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.
INSTALLATION

the temperature will drop below 40°F (4.5°C) or rise above
110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain
proper temperatures inside the refrigerator.

LEVELING
All four corners of your refrigerator must rest firmly on a
solid floor. Your refrigerator is equipped with adjustable
leveling feet.
NOTE: It is Very Important for your refrigerator to be
level in order to function properly. If the refrigerator is
not leveled during installation, the door may be
misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing
cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
To Level Your Refrigerator:
After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a
carpenter’s level to level the refrigerator from front-to-back.
Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so
that the door closes easily when left halfway open.
