PREPARATION
Refrigerator Location Clearances
Do not install refrigerator where temperature will
go below 60°F. because it will not run often enough
to maintain proper temperatures.
Do install it on a floor strong enough to support a
fully loaded refrigerator.
The location of your refrigerator is important. To save
energy avoid locating it next to a range, a heating vent
or where the sun will shine directly on it.
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation
and proper air circulation.

Care and Cleaning Preparation
Leveling Legs
Leveling legs near each front corner of the
refrigerator are adjustable. They firmly position the
refrigerator and prevent it from
moving when the
doors are opened.
Leveling legs should be set so the
front of the refrigerator is raised just enough that the
doors close easily when opened about halfway.
Turn the leveling legs counterclockwise to raise the
refrigerator, clockwise to lower it.
Preparing to Move Preparing for Vacation
Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet,
remove all food and clean and dry the interior.
Secure all loose items such as shelves, storage
drawers and ice trays by taping them securely in place
to prevent damage, and raise the leveling legs.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position
during actual moving and in the van. The refrigerator
must be secured in the van to prevent movement.
Protect the outside of the refrigerator with a blanket.
For extended vacations or absences, shut off
power to the refrigerator, turn the temperature control
to the “OFF” position, and clean the interior with
baking soda solution of one tablespoon of baking
soda to one quart of water. Wipe dry. To prevent
odors, leave an open
box of baking soda in refrigerator.
Leave the doors open.
For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods and
leave the controls at regular settings. However, if
room temperature is expected to drop below 60°F.,
follow same instructions as for extended vacations.
