How to Transport Your Unit

How do I measure an
opening to insure

proper fit?

A V," of air space should be provided
for the top and back of tile unit to allow
for proper air circulation. When
installing your unit, measure carefiAly.
Subflooring or floor coverings (i.e.
carpet, tile, wood floors, rugs) n'my
make your opening smaller than
anticipated.

Some clearance may be gained by using
the le\ cling procedure under How to

Leve[ }b_lr R@'igerator.

tMPORTAN_ If Unitis to be

installed into a recess where top Of

unit is completely covered, Use

dimensions from floor to top of

binge cap to Verify proper

clearance.

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
remm to the compressor, Plugging unit in immediately may cause damage to internal parts.

Use an appliance dolly when moving unit ALWAYS t_/ck unit from its side NEVER flora its

f?ont 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 firn'dy widL straps Thread straps through handles when possible. DO NOT
overtighten. Overtightening restraints may
dent or damage outside finish.

with cabinet material.

temperature

Make sure floor is level, If floor is not level, shim rear wheels of unit with a piece of plywood

or other shim material
