STEP  2  Flooring

• The surface of the installation location must support a fully loaded refrigerator.

• To protect the floor, put a large piece of cardboard under each leg of the refrigerator when you move it for installation.

• To protect the floor once the refrigerator is in its final position, do not move it unless necessary. If you have to move it, place thick paper or cloth such as an old carpet, along the movement path.

NOTE

If the refrigerator cannot pass through entrance to your home or kitchen due to its size, see Door removal for entrance on page 18.

STEP  3  Adjust the levelling feet

CAUTION

•When installed, the refrigerator must be level on a flat, solid floor. Not leveling the refrigerator can cause damage to the refrigerator or physical injury.

•Levelling must be performed with the refrigerator empty. Make sure no food items are inside the refrigerator.

•For safety reasons, adjust the front side a little higher than the rear side.

You can level the refrigerator using the rear legs. The rear legs have a special screw

(leveller) for levelling purposes. Use a flat-head screwdriver for levelling.

• To adjust the height of the freezer side: Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the leveller of the freezer-side rear leg. Turn the leveller clockwise to raise the refrigerator. Turn it counterclockwise to lower.

• To adjust the height of the fridge side: Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the leveller of the fridge-side rear leg.

Turn the leveller clockwise to raise the refrigerator. Turn it counterclockwise to lower.
