INSTALLATION
POSITIONING YOUR APPLIANCE
WARNING: Two or more people are required to move and/or install this appliance.
Failure to do so may cause back or other injury.
1. Choose a location for the appliance that has a strong, level floor. If such a place is
unavailable, be sure to adjust the rotating leg supports such that the unit is always kept
level.
2. Refrigerator models FF511LBIVAC/ADA, FF590VAC, and FF7LBIVAC/ADA and freezer
models FS407LBIVAC/ADA and VT65MLBIVAC/ADA are capable of built-in
installation. If the appliance is to be built in, your appliance needs at least 1/16” of air
space at the top, 3/16” on the sides, and 2” at the rear to allow for proper air ventilation. Be
sure that airflow under the appliance is not blocked. If the appliance is installed next to a
fixed wall, provide at least 2½” of room on the hinge side to allow for the door to swing open.
3. For models that are to be used freestanding, allow at least 4” of clearance at the top,
back and sides to allow for proper air circulation.
4. Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Light can discolor the finish. In addition, when placed near a
heat source such as stove or direct sunlight, the appliance will consume more electricity.
Similarly, avoid installing in relatively cold locations: Do not install in a place where the
temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).
5. Avoid moisture. If placed near a sink or water faucet, the evaporator will frost faster because
of the higher humidity.
WARNING: Explosion Hazard: Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
g gasoline, away from the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in explosion, fire or
even death.
ADJUSTING THE TILT
If your appliance seems unsteady or you would like the door to close more easily, you can use
the four leveling legs to adjust the tilt of the unit.
Be sure that the unit is in its final position when making adjustments to the tilt, and that it is
plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
WARNING:
Two or more people are required to move and/or install the appliance. Failure to do so
may cause back or other injury.
