Installing Your Refrigerator

These instructions were provided to aid you in the installation of your unit. Amana cannot be responsible for improper installation.

How do I measure an opening to insure proper fit?

This refrigerator was designed to fit a 69" tall opening to allow for proper ventilation, leveling, and door adjustments.

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.

IMPORTANT: If unit is to be installed into a recess where top of unit is completely covered, use dimensions from floor to top of hinge cap to verify proper clearance.

A = Floor to top of cabinet (68 ¾")

B = Floor to top

of top hinge assembly

C= Back of unit with ¼" tilt to back (68 ½")

How to Transport Your Unit

Follow these tips when moving the unit to final location:  NEVER transport unit on its side. If an upright position is not possible, lay unit on

its back. Allow unit to sit upright for approximately 30 minutes prior to plugging unit in to assure oil return to the compressor. Plugging unit in immediately may cause damage to internal parts.

• Use an appliance dolly when moving unit. ALWAYS truck unit from its side– NEVER from its front or back.

• Protect outside finish of unit during transport by wrapping cabinet in blankets or inserting padding between the unit and dolly.

• Secure unit to dolly firmly with straps or bungee cords. Thread straps through handles when possible. DO NOT overtighten. Overtightening restraints may dent or damage outside finish.

How to Select the Best Location

Observe these points when choosing the final location for your unit:

• DO NOT install refrigerator near oven, radiator, or other heat source. If not possible, shield unit with cabinet material.

• DO NOT install where temperature falls below 55°F (13°C). Malfunction may occur at this temperature.

• Make sure floor is level. If floor is not level, shim rear wheels of unit with a piece of plywood or other shim material.

• Allow a minimum of ventilation.

• To assure proper door closure, verify that the unit is leveled with a ¼" tilt to the back.

Dispenser Features

Primary Features

Dispenser Light not shown

A light activates within the dispenser area at full power when dispensing ice or water.

Front Fill Button (some models)

The Front Fill button works independently of the dispenser controls, providing an up-front alternative to the dispenser pad for dispensing water. This feature is convenient for filling large items that will not fit into the dispenser area (i.e. sport bottles, pitchers, large pans, coffee pots).

This feature allows added convenience of dispensing ice and water simultaneously. To use, choose your preferred ice mode from dispenser control panel. Press container against dispenser pad while pressing the Front Fill button.

Dispenser Pad

The dispenser pad is located on the back wall of the dispensing area. When the dispenser pad is pressed, the selection chosen on your dispenser control panel will dispense.

Hints and Care

How to Get the

• When placing refrigerator into final position, allow for 1" clearance around the top and sides of unit to supply ample ventilation for optimum energy efficiency.

• Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves. This reduces effectivity of air circulation around food and causes refrigerator to run longer.

• Avoid adding too much warm food to unit at one time. This overloads compartments and slows rate of cooling.

• Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling as shelf liners. This decreases air flow and causes unit to run less efficiently.

• A freezer that is efficiently.

• Locate refrigerator in coolest part of room. Avoid areas of direct sunlight, or near heating ducts, registers, or other heat producing appliances. If this is not possible, isolate exterior by using a section of cabinet or an added layer of insulation.

• Refer to owner's manual section on temperature controls for recommended control settings
