Installation .............................................................
Your new refrigerator was packed carefully for ship-
meN. Remove and discard shelf packing clips (if used)
located just above each shelf where they hook onto the
frame. To remove plastic clips wiggle the clips sideways
and pull sWaight out.
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" E With temperatures below 55",
the refrigerator will not run frequently enough to
maintain proper temperature in the freezer.
•Allow a minimum 1/2" 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 hard-
wood floors so as not to mark or otherwise damage
the flooring. A piece of plywood, a rug or other mate-
rial should be used to protect the floor while posi-
tioning the unit.
Energy Saving Tips
•Locate the refrigerator away from heal producing
appliances such as the range or dishwasher, heat vents
and direct sunlight.
• Level the refrigerator and do not block ventilation
around the front grille.
• Keep the freezer full to near capacity so less cold air
will escape during door openings. When the freezer is
less than two-thirds full, place milk cartons half full
of water in the freezer.
•Let hot dishes cool slightly before putting into the
refrigerator or freezer.
• Cover liquids.
• Wipe moisture from the outside of containers before
placing them into the refrigerator.
•Avoid opening the doors too often.
Leveling
Your refrigerator is equipped with front and back rollers
so it can be moved away from the wall for cleaning. To
enhance its appearance and to maintain performance,
your refrigerator should be level.
For refrigerator models with non-adjustable wheels (such
as models MTB 1948 and MTB2148):
• 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 cor-
ner and counte_lockwise to lower a cabinet comer
(see fig. 3).
*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.
For other models:
Remove the base grille by grasping both ends and
pulling straight out (see fig. I).
Adjust the wheels with a screwdriver or a I/4'" sock-
et (see fig. 2).
To prevent the refrigerator from roiling, use the level-
ing/lock _rews. Turning down both leveling _rews
locks the cabinet into place (see fig. 3).
To replace the base grille, align the spring clips with
the round openings in the cabinet and push each end
in until the grille locks into place.
