2
" of air space should be provided for the back of the unit to allow for the power cord and water line. When installing your unit, measure carefully.
Subflooring or floor coverings (i.e. carpet, tile, wood floors, rugs) may make your opening smaller than anticipated.

RANSPORTING YOU
R
EFRIGERATOR
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.
SELECTING THE
BEST
LOCATION
Allow for a free flow of air through
the front base grille.
Install the refrigerator where the
room temperature will not go below 55° F. With temperatures below 55° F, the refrigerator will not run frequently enough to maintain proper temperature in the freezer.
Locate the refrigerator away from
heat producing appliances such as the range or dishwasher, heat vents and direct sunlight.
A minimum of
1
2" clearance is required
at the back. Allow
1
2" at the sides for
ease of installation. If refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may want to allow additional space.
Use caution when installing the
refrigerator on vinyl or hardwood floors so as not to mark or otherwise damage the flooring. A piece of plywood, a rug or other material should be used to protect the floor while positioning the refrigerator.
HOW TO REMOVE THE DOOR AND HINGES
Some installations require door removal to transport refrigerator to its final location.
To remove drawer, see instructions on page 7.
To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, observe the following:
Disconnect power to refrigerator
before removing doors. Connect power only after replacing doors.
WARNING:
To avoid damage to walls and flooring, protect soft vinyl or other flooring with cardboard, rugs or other protective material.
