Installation
Your new refrigerator was packed carefully for
shipment. Remove and discard shelf packing and tape.
Location
• Allow for a free flow of air through the front base
grille.
• Install the refrigerator where the room temperature
will not go below 55° F (13° C). With temperatures
below 55° F (13° C), the refrigerator will not run
frequently enough to maintain proper temperature in
the freezer.
• Allow a minimum '/2" clearance on the sides, top and
back for ease of installation. If refrigerator is placed
with the door hinge side against a wall, you may
want to allow additional space so the door can be
opened wider.
• Use caution when installing the unit on vinyl or
hardwood floors so as not to mark or otherwise
damage the flooring. A piece of plywood, a rug or
other material should be used to protect the floor
while positioning the unit.
Leveling
To enhance its appearance and to maintain
performance, your refrigerator should be leveled after it
has been rolled into its final location.
• Adjust the leveling/lock screws beneath each front
corner at the base of the cabinet. Turn these
leveling/lock screws clockwise to raise a cabinet
corner and counterclockwise to lower a cabinet
corner.
To raise
cabinet
• If the floor is not level and it is necessary to raise the
rear of the cabinet, we suggest rolling the rear
wheels onto a piece of plywood or other shim
material.
• Refrigerator models that have adjustable wheels can
be leveled by removing the base grille and adjusting
the wheels with a 1/4" socket or screwdriver. (See
figure 2.)

Front Base Grille Ionselect models)
The front base grille (select models) which was
packaged inside the refrigerator for shipment and
should be installed after the refrigerator has been
leveled.
"Snap on" style:
• To install, align the spring clips with the round
openings in the cabinet and push each end in until the
grille locks into place.
• To remove this style of base grille, grasp both ends
and pull straight out.
"Screw on" style:
Use a Phillips screwdriver to
remove the two Phillips head
screws at the base of the
refrigerator.
• Align the base grille to the screw holes. (The cut out
side on the base grille installs around the lower hinge
of the door.)
• Secure the base grille into place by reinstalling the
Phillips screws back into their original screw holes.
• Reverse these steps to remove this style of base grille.
Energy Saving Tips
• Locate the refrigerator away from heat producing
appliances such as the range or dishwasher, heat
vents and direct sunlight.
• Level the refrigerator and do not block ventilation
around the front base grille.
• Let hot dishes cool slightly before putting into the
refrigerator or freezer.
• Cover liquids.
Keep the freezer full to near capacity so less cold air
will escape during door openings. When the freezer is
less than 2/3full, place milk cartons half full of water in
the freezer.
• Wipe moisture from the outside of containers before
placing them into the refrigerator.
• Avoid opening the doors too often.
