NOTE: Protect tile finish of tile flooring. Cut a large section of tile cardboard carton and place trader tile refrigerator where you are working.

GROUNDING THE REFRIGERATOR

IMPORTANT_(Please read carefully)

FOIl PERSONAl, SAFETY, THIS APPI,IANCE MUST

BE PROPERI,Y GROUNDED.

Tile power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (gro/mding) plug which nlates with a standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle

to minimize tile possibility of electric shock hazard

fl'om this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure tile outlet is

properly gro/mded.

OR REMOVE THE THIRD

(GROUND) PRONG FROM

THE POWER CORD.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,

it is wmr personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly gro/mded 3-prong

[STEP 5] LEVEL REFRIGERATOR

All models have 4-point leveling. The front is supported by leveling legs, the rear is supported by a_!justable wheels. Both are accessible fl'om the fl'ont

of the refl'igerator.

• To level the back of the refl'igerator, tm'n the 7/16" hex nut located above the front wheels. Turn clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the

refl'igera tin,

• For fl'ont leveling, use a 1-1/4" open-end wrench.

• At!just height of refl'igerator to match installation cutout opening 83-1/2 to 84-1/2". The refl'igerator

should be level and plmnb with cabinetry.

CAUTION:

The rear leveling wheels and fl'ont leveling legs are limited to a maximmn height a_!justment of l ". If the installation requires more than 84-1/2" height, the installer should elew_te the refl'igerator on a sheet of plywood or rtmne_. Cal)inetrv trim could also be added across the top of the opening to shorten the

opening. If you attempt to raise the refrigerator

more thm_ 1", you will damage the front leveling legs mid the rear leveling wheels.
