ease of installation, proper air
circulation, plumbing, and electrical
connections:
Top 3" (75 mm)
Sides 3" (75 mm)
Back 4" (101.6 mm)
NOTE
If you place the appliance with the
door hinge side against a wall, you
may have to allow additional space so
the door can be open wider.
3.2 Leveling
When positioning the appliance, ensure
that it is level, with all bottom corners
resting firmly on a solid floor. You can
adjust this using the two leveling feet
located at the front bottom of the

3.3 Door Removal
CAUTION!
Before you begin, turn the appliance
temperature control to OFF and

one side to the other. Reversing the
door swing should be performed by a
qualified person.
CAUTION!
The door is heavy. We recommend
two people to remove or replace the
door assembly from the appliance.
NOTE
Keep the removed parts so they can
be used on the opposite side.

If you place the appliance on its back
or side, let it stand upright for 6 hours
before you plug it in. This prevents
damage to internal components.

To ensure safe food storage, allow the
appliance to operate with the doors closed
for at least 4 hours. The appliance runs
continuously during this time.

Adjusting the temperature control to
OFF/0 turns off the compressor and
prevents the refrigerator from cooling,
but does not disconnect the power to

power cord from the wall outlet.
Adjust the temperature gradually: adjust
the knobs in small increments, allowing
the temperature to stabilize.
