INSTALLATION
Remove and discard cantilever shelf packing clips located just above each shelf where it hooks onto the frame.
To remove plastic clips, wiggle the clips sideways and pull straight out.
Locating Your Refrigerator
1. Allow a free flow of air through the front base grille.
2. Your model should not be installed where the room temperature will go below 55 degrees F., because it will not run frequently enough to maintain proper temperature in the freezer.
3. For ease of installation, you should leave a space of about 1/2 inch between your refrigerator and adjacent walls or cabinets. If the refrigerator is placed with the hinge side against a wall, you may want to leave
additional space so the door can be opened wider.
