Door opening

Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy

access to a counter when removing food. For best

use of refrigerator drawers and freezer baskets, the

refrigerator should be in a position where both can be

fully opened.

CAUTION

DO NOT install the refrigerator 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

refrigerator.

DO NOT block the toe grille on the lower front

of your refrigerator. Sufﬁcient air circulation

is essential for the proper operation of your

refrigerator.

NOTE

If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge

against a wall, you may have to allow additional space

so the door can be opened wider.

NOTE

The refrigerator doors are designed to shut by

themselves within a 20 degree opening.

Required Tools

You will need the following tools:

To level the cabinet using the front rollers (select

models):

1Slightly open freezer drawer. Lift the toe grille

and gently pull forward (see illustration).
