Installation Instructions

Preparing to install the refrigerator.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Turn counterclockwise to raise,
clockwise to lower.

Refrigerator Location

Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below
50°F (10°C) because it will not run often enough to maintain
proper temperatures.

Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.

If the 2 cubic foot model is placed on a countertop or stand, the
front surface of the door should be 3

or more back from the edge

of the countertop or stand to avoid accidental tipping of the
appliance during normal use.

Do not install it closer than 5

(13 cm) next to a range.

Do not install it in a recessed area.

Do not build in the refrigerator.

Clearances

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation and proper
air circulation.

Sides 1/2

″ (13

mm

)

Top

2

(51 mm)

Back

Leveling Legs

(on some models)

Adjustable legs

at the front corners of the refrigerator

should be set so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on
the floor and the front is raised just enough that the
door closes easily when opened about halfway.

To adjust the leveling legs,

turn the legs

counterclockwise

to raise

the refrigerator,

clockwise to lower

it.
