This Owner’s Guide provides specific operating instructions
for your model. Use the fridge-freezer only as instructed in
this Use & Care Manual. Before starting the fridge-freezer
follow these important first steps.
LOCATION
• Choose a place that is near an earthed 13A socket. Do
Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
• If possible, place the fridge-freezer out of direct sunlight
and away from the cooker, dishwasher or other heat
sources.
• The fridge-freezer must be installed on a floor that is
level and strong enough to support a fully loaded
fridge-freezer.
• Consider water supply availability for models equipped
with an automatic ice maker.
INSTALLATION
Do Not install the fridge-freezer
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
fridge-freezer.
Do Not block the toe grille on the
lower front of your fridge-freezer. Sufficient air
circulation is essential for the proper operation of your
fridge-freezer.
Installation Clearances
•
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical
connections:
Sides & Top --------------- 3/8” (1 cm)
Back ------------------------ 1” (2.5 cm)
DOOR OPENING
NOTE: If your fridge-freezer is placed with the door hinge
side against a wall, you may have to allow additional
space so the door can be opened wider.
Your fridge-freezer should be positioned to allow easy access
to a counter when removing food. For best use of drawers and
freezer baskets, the fridge-freezer should be in a position where
both the refrigerator and freezer doors can be fully opened.
Installation
TOE GRILLE INSTALLATION / REMOVAL
To Remove Toe Grille:

Open freezer and fresh food compartment doors.
2. Working from left side of toe grille, slip your fingers
between top of toe grille and cabinet. Gently pull

3. Check both doors to be sure seals touch cabinet on all four
sides.
LEVELING
All four corners of your fridge-freezer must rest firmly on a solid
floor. Your fridge-freezer is equipped with adjustable front rollers to
help level your unit. To ensure proper door seal and assist door
closing, the fridge-freezer should be tilted 1/4” (6 mm), front to
back.

2. Use flat-blade screwdriver or 3/8” socket wrench to adjust
front rollers.

themselves within a 20 degree opening.
