Leveling
The appliance must have all bottom corners
resting rmly on a solid oor. The oor must be
strong enough to support a fully loaded unit.
NOTE
It is VERY IMPORTANT for your appliance
to be level in order to function properly. If
the unit is not leveled during installation,
the door may be misaligned and not close
or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or
moisture problems.
To level: Adjust the bottom feet by turning
counterclockwise to lengthen and clockwise
to shorten. Use a carpenter’s level to level
the appliance from front to back. Adjust the
leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so the
door closes easily.
Lengthen
Shorten
NOTE
The exterior walls of the unit may become
quite warm as the compressor works to
transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures
as much as 30° F warmer than room
temperature can be expected. For this reason
it is particularly important in hotter climates
to allow enough space for air circulation
around your appliance.
CAUTION
To allow door to close and seal properly, DO
NOT let food packages extend past the front
of shelves.
