Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean
cloth lightly dampened with mild liquid dish
detergent. D5T with a clean, soil cloth.
To help prevent odors,
leave an open box
of baking soda in the

Turn off power at the circuit
breaker or fuse box before
cleaning. If this is not practical,
wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth
when cleaning around switches, lights or
contl'ols.
Use warm water and baking soda solution--
about a tablespoon (15 m]) of baking soda to
a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and
neutralizes odos_. Thoroughly rinse and wipe dry.
Do not wipe the reli'igerator with a soiled dish
cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue
that can damage the finish. Do not use
scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or
cleaners containing bleach because these
products can scratch and damage the finish.
Stainless steel--Regularly clean and polish the
Stainless Steel Door Panels and Handles (on
some models) with a commercially available
stainless steel cleaner such as Stai_dt_ss Sted

Other parts of the refrigerator/freezer--
including door gaskets, meat and vegetable
drawers, ice storage bin and all plastic
parts--can be cleaned the same way. _Mter
cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer of
petroleum .jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge
side. This helps kee I) the gaskets from sticking
and bending out of shape.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water
because the extreme temperature difference
may cause them to break, Handle glass shelves
carefully, Rough handling of tempered glass
cam cause it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator/freezer
parts in the dishwasher.

Clearances
Do not install the refrigerator/freezer where
temperatures will be below 60°F (16°C) because
it will not run often enough to maintain proper
temi)eratures, and the refrigerator will develop
high internal hmniditv.
If tile refl'igerator/fl'eezer is to be installed in a
corne_; a 4" clearance is required on the hinge
side fin" a 90 ° door opening and access to fl'esh
fl)od drawers. A 15" clearance is required on
the hinge side to remove pans. A 25" clearance
is required on the hinge side for a flfll 130 °
door swing.
Leveling These products have a 4-point leveling system.
The fl'ont is supported by leveling legs, the
rear is supported b_ wheels.
For proper installation, the refrigerator/
freezer must be placed on a level surface of
hard material the stone height as the rest of the
flooring. This surface should be strong enough
to support a fully loaded refrigerator/freezer,
or approximately 1,200 lbs. each. See the
Installation Instructions (Pub. No. 49-60073-3)
for complete directions.
No other clearances at top, sides or back are
required. See the Installation Instructions
(Pub. No. 49-60073-3) fin" complete directions,
• A({iust rear wheels beneath the product to
just barely touch the 2x4 block.
• Turn the 7/16" hex nut located above the
fi'ont wheels. Turn to raise or lower.
• For fl'ont leveling legs, use a 1-1/4" open-end
wi'ench.
• Ac!just careflflly; the product should be level
and i)lumb with cabinetry; and should align
with toekick height.
CAUTION-The rear leveling
wheels and front leveling legs are limited to a
maximmn height a_!iustment of ] ". If tile
installation requires more than 84-1/2" height,
the installer should elew_te the refl'igerator on
a sheet of plywood or Hmners. Cabinetry 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 m_d
