Installation Instructions

Preparing to install the refrigerator.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Stabilizing Brake

This refrigerator is equipped with leveling feet
which serve as a stabilizing brake. These additional
leveling feet will hold the refrigerator securely in
position during operation and cleaning.

To set the brake, first remove the end caps and
base grille. Second, adjust the rollers to the desired
position. See Rollers. Then turn both leveling feet
on each side until the feet are firmly in place
against the floor.

On models with a freezer drawer: After the brake is
securely in place, unscrew the roller adjustment
bolt counterclockwise until the weight of the
refrigerator is supported by the stabilizing brake.
This allows the weight to be positioned on the
stabilizing brake.

Replace the base grille and reinstall the end caps.

Reverse the procedure to roll the refrigerator out.

CAUTION: To avoid possible personal injury or property
damage, the leveling feet must be firmly touching
the floor.
