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, 

•  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 Clearances

•  Allow the following clearances for ease 

of installation, proper air circulation, and 

plumbing and electrical connections:

 

Sides & Top 

3/8”

 Back 

 1”

Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow 

easy access to a counter when removing food. 

All four corners of your refrigerator must rest 

firmly on a solid floor. Your refrigerator is

equipped with adjustable front rollers or front

leveling screws to help level your unit. 
To Level Your Refrigerator:
 1.  Remove toe grille.
2.  Use flat-blade

screwdriver 

or 3/8” socket 

wrench to adjust 

front rollers. 

Use adjustable 

wrench to adjust 

leveling screws.

To make this possible, the direction in which 

the doors open can be reversed. See Door 

Removal & Reversal Instructions.

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.

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.

If you install your refrigerator in a garage or 

other unheated area, you may experience 

freezer temperature problems during the winter 

months when temperatures dip below 55° F.

Upgrading your refrigerator with a Garage 

Kit will lower the minimum operating 

temperature of your unit to 34° F. This 

kit can be ordered through the Electrolux 

Solutions Hotline (see back cover).



If you see black coils/tubing on the back 

of your refrigerator (air-cooled condenser) 

leave 3” clearance at top of refrigerator.



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.



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.
