Installing your refrigerator

These instructions were provided to aid

you in the installation of your

refrigerator.

Measuring the opening

Aone-half inch (1⁄2") of air space must be

provided for the top and the back of the

refrigerator. When installing your

refrigerator, measure carefully.

Subflooring or floor coverings (i.e.

carpet, tile, wood floors, rugs) may make

your opening smaller than anticipated.

Some clearance may be gained by

using the leveling procedure under

How to Level Your Refrigerator

(page 10).

IMPORTANT: If refrigerator is to be

installed into a recess where top of

refrigerator is completely covered, use

dimensions from floor to top of hinge

cap to verify proper clearance.

Transporting your

refrigerator

Follow these tips when moving the

refrigerator to final location:

➢NEVER transport refrigerator on its

side. If an upright position is not

possible, lay refrigerator on its back.

Allow refrigerator to sit upright for

approximately 30 minutes prior to

plugging refrigerator in to assure oil

returns to the compressor. Plugging

refrigerator in immediately may cause

damage to internal parts.

back–NEVER from its front.

➢Protect outside finish of refrigerator
