PRODUCT DIMENSIONS

Your refrigerator should be installed on a flat and even floor. Keep the refrigerator level by adjusting the front leg levers.

Dimensions and Clearances

• Check the dimensions of the appliance and the installation path to ensure there is sufficient room to move the appliance through doors or narrow openings.
• The installation location chosen for the appliance should allow space behind the unit for connections and airflow as well as space in front to open the doors.
• Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in reduced cooling and freezing
• capability and increased power consumption. Allow at least 21″ inches in front of the appliance to open the door, and at least 2″ clearance between the back of the appliance, sides and wall.

Levelling

• The refrigerator has two front leveling legs. Adjust the legs to alter the tilt from front-to back or side-to side. If the refrigerator seems unsteady, or the doors do not close easily, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:
  • Turn the leveling leg counterclockwise to raise that side of the refrigerator or clockwise to lower it. It may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the height of the appliance.
  • Open the door and check to make sure that it closes easily. If the door does not close easily, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling legs counterclockwise. It may take several more turns.

Positioning the Refrigerator

• Arrange the refrigerator so that it does not vibrate against adjoining surfaces or against the wall. Be sure to maintain a 2” clearance between the back and hinge side of the appliance.
• Appliance is supplied with two spacers which should be installed on the lower part of the housing to prevent pushing the appliance too close to the wall. The appliance may also be installed without the spacers; however, this may increase power consumption.
