• If doors need to be removed during installation, see the “Remove and Replace Refrigerator Doors” and “Remove and Replace Freezer Door Fronts” sections.
• Doors seal completely.
• Refrigerator is level. Adjust leveling feet so they are snug against the floor.
• Doors are even across the top. (Use door alignment feature if necessary.)

UNPACK THE REFRIGERATOR

Refrigerator Delivery

A minimum door opening of 838 mm (33″) is required. If door opening is 914 mm (36″) or less, then removal of doors, drawer and hinges is required.
Cart the refrigerator from the side for all door openings.
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for damage could occur.

Remove the Packaging

• Remove tape and glue residues from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish detergent over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
• Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator.
• Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

REMOVE AND REPLACE REFRIGERATOR DOORS

This operation has to be performed by qualified person.
Make sure the appliance is not near a heat source and that
the four feet are stable and resting on the floor, adjusting them as required, and check that the appliance is perfectly level using a spirit level. Wait at least two hours before switching
the appliance on, to ensure that the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient.
To guarantee adequate ventilation, leave a space on both sides and above the appliance. The distance between the rear of the appliance and the wall behind the appliance should be
50 mm, to avoid access to hot surfaces. A reduction of this space will increase the Energy consumption of product.
IMPORTANT: If refrigerator was previously installed and you are moving it out of the home, turn refrigerator control off before you begin removing the doors. Gather required tools and read all instructions before removing doors.

REFRIGERATOR LEVELLING

1. Move refrigerator to its final location.
2. Using hand, rotate brake feet. Turn them counterclockwise until rollers are off floor and both brake feet are snug against the floor. This keeps the refrigerator from rolling forward when opening doors.
   IMPORTANT: If you need to make further adjustments involving the brake feet, you must turn both brake feet the same amount to keep the refrigerator level.
3. Use a level to make sure refrigerator is level from side to side and front to back.

WATER FILTER INSTALLATION
