to children.
• Remove the door(s) of any appliance that
is not in use, even if it is being discarded.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned

qualied technician.
WARNING
Avoid re hazard or electric shock. Do not
use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
Do not remove any prong from power cord.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.
WARNING

the power cord. Always grip the plug rmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle
to prevent damaging the power cord.
• Unplug the unit before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
• Performance may be affected if voltage
varies by 10% or more. Operating the
unit with insufcient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not

• Choose a place that is near a grounded
electrical outlet. Do Not use an
extension cord or an adapter plug.
• If possible, place the unit out of direct
sunlight and away from the range,
dishwasher or other heat sources.
• Install the appliance on a oor that is
level and strong enough to support the
unit fully loaded.
CAUTION
DO NOT install the appliance 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 unit.
DO NOT block the kick plate on the lower front of your appliance. Sufcient air circulation is
essential for the proper operation of your unit.
NOTE
The exterior walls of the appliance may become quite warm as the compressor works to
transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30ºF warmer than room temperature
can be expected.
Installation
Installation clearances:
• Allow the following clearances for ease
of installation, proper air circulation, and
plumbing and electrical connections:
Sides - 3/8 inch
Top and Back - 1 inch
• Allow for trim kit if it is to be installed
with the unit.
NOTE
If your unit is placed with the door hinge side
against a wall, you may have to allow additional
space so the door can be opened wider.

screwdriver and remove the two screws
holding the kick plate to the cabinet. Then pull
the kick plate away from the unit.

Leveling
Rest all bottom corners rmly on a solid oor.
The oor must be strong enough to support a
fully loaded appliance.
It is VERY IMPORTANT for your unit to be level
in order to function properly. If the appliance
is not leveled during installation, the door may
be misaligned and not close or seal properly,
causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.
To Level the Appliance:
While unit is laying on its back, note the location
of the 4 leg levelers installed at each corner.
These leg levelers will be used to level the unit
and to adjust the height. Use a carpenter’s level
to level the appliance from front to back and
side to side. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in
front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes
easily when left halfway open.
Leveling Instructions for Matching Tall
Refrigerator/Freezer Pair:
• Level door of rst unit using all four
levelers and slide unit into place. Recheck
for levelness and adjust if necessary.
• Measure distance from oor to bottom
of door on rst unit. Adjust and level
second unit so door height matches.
Leg Level Adjustments:
• One full turn of all four leg levelers will
raise door 5/32”.
• Slide second unit into place leaving a
minimum gap of 3/16” between units for
door swing clearance.
• This last step may require at least one
extraction of the second unit to properly
align units in a “built-in” application.
Leveling Door with Adjustable Hinge
Use the lower hinge adjustment to ne tune
the door height and for nal cabinet spacing.
Use a 7/16” socket or wrench to adjust the
screw at the bottom of the lower hinge.
Adjusting Doors for Matching Tall
Refrigerator/Freezer Pair
The doors may also be adjusted side to side
with the slotted hinge for aligning the doors
parallel to each other. Loosen the two bolts
with a 3/8” wrench and one screw with a
Phillips screwdriver. Shift the doors until
parallel, then retighten the screw and bolts
securely. (See illustration below.)
Lower Hinge Adjustment for Leveling the
Doors of the Matching Tall Refrigerator/
Freezer Pair
To level the doors using the adjustable lower
hinge (some models):
1. If the refrigerator door is lower than the
freezer door, raise the refrigerator door by
turning the adjustment screw clockwise
using a 7/16” socket wrench. (See
illustration below.)
2. If the freezer door is lower than the
refrigerator door, raise the freezer door by
turning the adjustment screw clockwise
using a 7/16” socket wrench. (See
illustration below.)
