Frigidaire FRT21HS6DQ Use and Care Manual - Page 4

Installation This Use & Care Manual provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this Use & Care Manual. Before starting the refrigerator, follow these important first steps. LOCATION • Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug. • If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight and away from the range, dishwasher or other heat sources. • The refrigerator must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator. • Consider water supply availability for models equipped with an automatic ice maker. INSTALLATION Do Not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures inside the refrigerator. LEVELING All four corners of your refrigerator must rest firmly on a solid floor. Your refrigerator is equipped with adjustable front rollers to help level your unit. To Level Your Refrigerator: 1. Remove toe grille. Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front of your refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the proper operation of your refrigerator. Installation Clearances • Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections: Sides & Top 3/8" Back 1" 2. Use flat-blade screwdriver or 3/8" socket wrench to adjust front rollers. NOTE: Raise the front of the refrigerator enough so the doors close freely when opened halfway. The refrigerator should slope ¼" to ½" from front-to-back. Then level the refrigerator from side to side. NOTE: If you see black coils/tubing on the back of your refrigerator (air-cooled condenser) leave 3" clearance at top of refrigerator. DOOR OPENING NOTE: If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow additional space so the door can be opened wider. Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access to a counter when removing food. To make this possible, the direction in which the doors open can be reversed.
