Location
1. Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical
outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter
plug.
2. If possible, place unit(s) out of direct sunlight and
away from range, dishwasher or other heat sources.
3. The unit(s) must be installed on a floor that is level
and strong enough to support a fully loaded unit(s).
4. Consider water supply availability for models
equipped with an automatic ice maker.
5. The unit(s) should be located where surrounding
temperature will not exceed 110ºF (43ºC) or drop
below 40°F (5°C).
6. For ease of installation, proper air circulation and
electrical connections, see Figure 2-1 for
recommended clearances.
7. DO NOT block the toe grille on the lower front of
the unit. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the
proper operation of the unit(s).
The exterior walls of the refrigerator/freezer may
become quite warm as the compressor works to
transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much
as 30°F warmer than room temperatures can be
expected.
Leveling
The freezer and/or refrigerator must have all bottom
corners resting fi rmly on a solid fl oor. The fl oor must be
strong enough to support a fully loaded freezer and/or
refrigerator.
It is VERY IMPORTANT for your freezer and/or
refrigerator to be level in order to function properly. If
the unit is not leveled during installation, the door/lid may
be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing
cooling, frost or moisture problems.
After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a
carpenter's level to level the unit from front to back.
Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher,
so that the door closes easily when left half way open.
Installation Information
Figure 2-1. Installation Clearances
If your refrigerator and/or freezer is placed with the
door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow
additional space so the door can be opened wider.
