PREPARATION
When You Goon Vacation
For shorter vacations,
remove
perishable
foods and
leave controls at regular settings. However,
if room
temperature
is expected to drop below 60°E, follow
same instructions
as for extended vacations.
For extended
vacations
or absences,
shut off power
to refrigerator,
move the fresh food control to OFF
position,
and clean interior with baking soda solution
of 1 tablespoon of soda to 1 quart of water. Wipe dry.
To prevent odors, leave open box of soda in
refrigerator.
Leave doors open.
Move icemaker
feeler arm to STOP (up) position
and
be sure to shut off water supply to the refrigerator.
When You Move
Disconnect
power cord from wall outlet, remove all
food, and clean and dry the interior.
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and
storage pans by taping them securely in place to
prevent
damage.
Be sure refrigerator
stays in upright position
during
actual moving and in van. Refrigerator
must be
secured
in van to prevent movement.
Protect outside
of refrigerator
with blanket.
Refrigerator
Location
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.
Also see Energy-Saving
Tips regarding
location.
Clearances
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation and electrical connections:
Sides ...... 5/8"
Top
...... 1"
Back ......
1"
(If built in, allow 7/8" for hinge covers.)
If the refrigerator is against a wall on either side,
allow 3/4" for door clearances.
Rollers
Adjustable rollers behind the base grille enable you to
move the refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning.
These rollers should be set so the refrigerator rests
firmly on the floor. To assure that the doors will close
automatically from a halfway-open position, there is a
built-in tilt from the from to the back of the cabinet.
Side-by-side refrigerators also have specially designed
door hinges that lift both doors slightly when opened,
allowing the force of gravity to help close them securely
To adjust rollers, remove
the base grille by grasping
it at the bottom and pulling
it out.
Turn
roller
adjusting
screws
clockwise
to raise
refrigerator,
counterclockwise
to lower it. Use
adjustable
wrench (3/8" hex head bolt) or pliers.
When adjusting front rollers
for proper door closure, we
recommend
that the bottom
front edge of the cabinet be
approximately
5/8" from the
floor.
To replace base
grille, align prongs
on back of grille
with clamps in
cabinet and push
forward until grille
snaps into place.
Water Supply
to Icemaker
(on some models)
You will need to connect your icemaker
to a cold water line. A water supply kit containing
copper tubing,
shut-off
valve, fittings and instructions
is available
at extra cost from your dealer. There should be
sufficient
tubing for the icemaker
from the cold water supply to allow you to move the refrigerator
out
from the wall several feet (approximately
8 feet of 1/4" copper tubing in three 10-inch diameter
coils.)
