NOTE
If your appliance is placed with the door
hinge side against a wall, you may have
to allow additional space for the handle
so the door can be opened wider.
This Use & Care Guide provides general
operating instructions for your model. Use
the appliance only as instructed in this
Use & Care Guide. Before starting the ap-
pliance, follow these important first steps.
Installation
Installation clearances
Allow the following clearances for ease
of installation, proper air circulation, and
plumbing and electrical connections:
Sides, Top & Back 3 in. (75 mm)
Guidelines for final positioning of
your appliance:
• All 4 corners of the cabinet must rest
firmly on the floor.
• The cabinet should be level at the
front and rear.
• The door should be level.
WARNING
DO NOT install the appliance where
the temperature will drop below 0°F
(-18°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The
compressor will not be able to maintain
proper temperatures inside the unit.
Location
• Choose a place that is near a ground-
ed electrical outlet. Do Not use an
extension cord or an adapter plug.
• If possible, place the appliance out of
direct sunlight and away from the range,
dishwasher or other heat sources.
• Install the appliance on a floor that is
level and strong enough to support a
fully loaded appliance.

NOTE
It is VERY IMPORTANT for your appli-
ance to be level in order to function
properly. If the unit is not leveled during
installation, the door may be misaligned
and not close or seal properly, causing
cooling, frost or moisture problems.
Leveling
The appliance must have all bottom
corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The
floor must be strong enough to support a
fully loaded unit.
To level: Adjust the bottom feet by
turning counterclockwise to shorten and
clockwise to lengthen. Use a carpenter’s
level to level the appliance from front to
back. Adjust the leveling feet in front, ½
bubble higher, so the door closes easily.
