First Steps

Replacing Toe Grille
Before starting the refrigerator, follow these important first steps:

Location

• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. DO NOT use an
extension cord or an adapter plug.
• If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight and away from the
range, dishwasher or other heat sources.
• The refrigerator must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough to
support a fully loaded refrigerator.
• Consider water supply availability for the automatic ice maker.

Installation

• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 60°F
(15°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to
maintain proper temperatures.
• In a recessed installation, allow an extra 1/2 inch (10-15 mm) on each side for
ease of installation.
• If the hinge side of the unit will be placed against a wall, allow a 1 3/4 inch
(44 mm) space between the wall and the refrigerator to permit proper door
swing.

Door Opening

For best use of the drawers and freezer basket, the refrigerator should be in a
position where both the refrigerator and freezer doors can be opened about 135°.

Leveling

• The refrigerator must be leveled with all bottom corners resting firmly on a
solid floor. Adjust front rollers to level cabinet both front-to-rear and
side-to-side. Keep the cabinet as low as possible for stability. Never adjust
cabinet rollers so the front is lower than the rear.
• To adjust the front rollers: Open the refrigerator and freezer doors. Remove
the toe grille by pulling it straight out. Adjust the rollers by turning each
roller adjusting bolt with an adjustable wrench, a socket wrench or a nutdriver
until the refrigerator is level and stable. The rear rollers are not adjustable.
• Check both doors to be sure seals touch cabinet evenly on all four sides.
• If the freezer door is higher than the refrigerator door, raise the right corner
and/or lower the left corner until the doors align across the top of the cabinet.
• If the refrigerator door is higher than the freezer door, raise the left corner
and/or lower the right corner until the doors align across the top of the cabinet.
• To replace the toe grille: Line up clips with holes and push grille straight on.

Cleaning

• Wash the inside, all removable parts and the outside with mild detergent and
warm water. Wipe dry. Do Not Use Harsh Cleaners On These Surfaces.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the
appliance surface, when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the
tape or energy label can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent, or, touch the residue with the sticky side of tape already removed.
• Do Not Remove The Serial Plate.
