underside of the appliance.

2. Screw these legs into the front holes on the bottom of the appliance. The
back of the appliance rests on two fixed supports. (Built-in models also
have rear level legs that can provide more precise leveling).

3. Adjust t he front legs just enough to lift the cabinet up off the floor.
Note: If your model is equipped with front rollers, the front legs should be

lowered enough to lift the rollers off of the floor to ensure the appliance
does not roll for w ard when the door is opened.

4. Place a level ing tool on top of the appliance, f irst side to side, then front to
back. Turn leg counterclockwise to raise a corner. Turn leg clockwise to
lower a corner.

24 hours for temperature to stabilize.

Note: When t he appliance is f irst started, t he compressor will run constantly

until the appliance is cooled. It may take 6 to 8 hours (or longer),
depending on room temperature and th e number of times the appliance
door is opened. Aft er the appl iance i s cool ed, the compr essor will turn on
and off as needed to keep the appliance at the proper temperature.

For optimum temperature perfor mance, it i s recommen ded that this unit

The outside of your appli a nce may feel warm. This is nor mal . Th e ap pli anc e’s
design and main function is to remove heat from packages and air space
inside the appliance. The heat is transferred to the room air, making the
outside of the applianc e feel w arm. ( In so me models t he condens er that g ets

warm is just inside the side walls, making these walls warm to the touch.)

ENERGY-SAVING TIPS

• The more airflow provided around an appliance, the less energy it will use.

• If your appliance requires manual defrosting, keep ice build-up to less than 1/2".

• Keep doors open a minimum of time, and shut securely.
