INSTALLATION
NOTE
If your refrigerator is placed with the
door hinge side against a wall, you may
have to allow additional space for the
handle so the door can be opened wider.
This Use & Care Guide provides general
operating instructions for your model.
Use the appliance only as instructed in
this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the
unit, follow these important first steps.
Location
• Choose a place that is near a ground-
ed 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 automat-
ic ice maker. If you do not hook up
water to the refrigerator, remember
to turn the ice maker off.
Guidelines for final positioning of
your refrigerator:
• All 4 corners of the cabinet must rest
firmly on the floor.
• The cabinet should be level at the
front and rear.
• The sides should tilt
¼
" (6 mm) from
front to back (to ensure that doors
close and seal properly).
• Doors should align with each other
and be level.
