WITH QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
Installing it properly
1.
Allow 3 inches (7.5 cm) between overhead cabinets and the refrigerator top.
2. Allow at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) between the
condenser coils (on back of cabinet) and
the back wall.
3. Allow 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) on each side of
the cabinet for easier installation.
4. If the hinge side of the refrigerator is to be
against a wall, you might want to leave
extra space so the door can be opened
wider.
Leveling it
Your refrigerator has 4 rollers to make
positioning the refrigerator easier. Make
sure the refrigerator is level for efficient
operation.
Leveling leg

in the shipping crate. They are the
leveling legs.
2. Screw these bolts all the way into the bolt
holes on the bottom comers of the
refrigerator.
3. Adjust each leg so that the refrigerator
does not rock.
4. Slide the refrigerator into place.
5. Place a level on top of the refrigerator first side-to-side then front-to-back.
l Turn a leg clockwise to raise the corner.
l Turn a leg counterclockwise to lower the
