important first steps.
INSTALLATION
• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do
Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
• For the most efficient operation, the refrigerator should be
located where surrounding temperatures will not drop
below 40° F (5° C) or exceed 110° F (43° C).
• Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and electrical connections:
Sides 3/8”
Back & Top 1”
DOOR OPENING
LEVELING
The refrigerator must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a
solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully
loaded refrigerator . NOTE: It is Very Important for your
refrigerator to be level in order to function properly. If the
Leveling Instructions for all Refrigerator/Freezer Pair:
• Remove two leg levelers provided in literature bag. While
unit is lying on its back for wood skid removal, install both
leg levelers in rear of unit.
• Level door of first unit using all four levelers and slide unit
into place. Recheck for levelness and adjust if necessary.
• Measure distance from floor to bottom of door on first unit.
Adjust and level second unit so door height matches.
• Leg Level Adjustments
• One full turn of all four leg levelers will raise door 5/32”.
• One full turn of both front leg levelers will raise door
3/16” and tilt top of door back 7/16”.
• One full turn of both rear leg levelers will lower door
1/32” and tilt top of door forward 7/16”.
• One full turn of both side leg levelers will raise door
3/16” and tilt top of door 3/8”.
• Slide second unit into place leaving a minimum gap of 3/16”
between units for door swing clearance.
• This last step may require at least one extraction of the
second unit to properly align units in a “built-in” application.
