Installing on carpeting
Follow these instructions when installing the appliance on carpeting.
The appliance is heavy. Two or more people are necessary to install the rear levelling feet and carpet spikes. Failure to do so can result in back injury or other injury.
Keep the appliance upright when moving and installing it. If you lay the appliance on its side, refrigerant may leak and cause the appliance to malfunction.
Move the appliance into its final location using the wheels at the bottom of the appliance.
Install the two rear levelling feet at the rear bottom of the appliance.
Tip the appliance, do not lay it down, to install the levelling feet.
Level the unit following the instructions in Levelling the appliance.
Install the four carpet spikes on the ends of the levelling feet, with the shorter, octagonal faces toward the front.
WarningTake care when handling the carpet spikes. They are designed to pierce through the carpet backing and pad and are very sharp.
Keep fingers and hands out from under the spikes when setting the unit in place to avoid personal injury or product damage.
Level the appliance once more after installing the spikes.
If the carpet has very deep pile or padding, the front feet may need to be extended slightly to install the drip tray.
Consider followings after installing the appliance on carpeting.
Be sure to check and empty the drip tray often.
Do not open the unit during operation to avoid condensation forming on carpet surface, which may result in surface mold or mildew.
Keep the bottom of the cabinet dry when filling or emptying water tanks. Keep the outside of the water tanks clean and dry to discourage growth of mold or mildew.
