PREPARATION
Clearances Water Supply to Icemaker
(on some models)
10
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air
circulation and plumbing and electrical connections:
Sides ..........................................................................19 mm (3/4
²)
Top.............................................................................25 mm (1
²)
Back...........................................................................25 mm (1
²)
If Model 19, 22, or 25 is to be installed against a wall on the hinge side,
allow 44 mm (1
3 ⁄
4
²) for door clearance.
If your refrigerator has an icemaker, or if you plan to add an
icemaker later, the icemaker will have to be connected to a cold
drinking water line.
A water supply kit containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings
and instructions is available at extra cost from your local distributor.
There should be sufficient tubing from the cold water supply to the
icemaker inlet to allow moving the refrigerator out from the wall
several feet [approximately 244 cm (8
¢) of 1/4² copper tubing in three
25 cm (10
²) diameter coils].
Do not use kits with plastic tubing since there is water pressure in the
supply line at all times.
Maximum permissible inlet water pressure—8.3 bars (120 p.s.i.).
Minimum permissible inlet water pressure—1.4 bars (20 p.s.i.).
Installation of icemaker must be made by a qualified service technician.
Rollers
Some models have adjustable rollers that allow you to move the
refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning. Rollers should be set so
the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the floor and the front is raised
just enough [about 19 mm (3/4
²) from the floor] that the doors close
easily when opened about halfway.
Remove the base grille by
grasping the bottom of the grille
and pulling it out.
Turn the two front roller adjusting screws
clockwise to raise the refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower it.
To replace the base grille, line
up the clips on the back of the
grille with the openings in the
base plate and push the grille
forward until it snaps into place.
When You Go on Vacation When You Move
For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods and leave
controls at regular settings. However, if room temperature is
expected to drop below 16°C (60°F), follow the same instructions
as for extended vacations.
For extended vacations or absences, shut off the power to the
refrigerator, move the fresh food control to the “0” position, and
clean the interior with a baking soda solution of 15 ml (1 tablespoon)
of baking soda to one liter (1 quart) of water. Wipe dry. To prevent
odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator. Leave
doors open.
Move icemaker feeler arm to STOP (up) position and be sure to shut
off water supply to the refrigerator.
Disconnect power cord from wall outlet, remove all food, and clean
and dry the interior.
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and storage pans by
taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
Be sure refrigerator stays in upright position during actual moving and
in van. Refrigerator must be secured in van to prevent movement.
Protect outside of refrigerator with blanket.
