First 

Steps

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 

floor 

that 

is 

level 

and 

strong 

enough

to 

support 

fully 

loaded 

refrigerator.

Consider 

water 

supply 

availability 

for 

models 

equipped 

with 

an 

automatic 

ice

maker.

Installation

If 

you 

need 

to 

remove 

the 

handles 

to 

move 

the 

refrigerator 

through 

narrow

doorways, 

follow 

steps 

and 

in 

the 

"Reversible 

Door 

Instructions."

Do 

not 

install 

the 

refrigerator 

where 

the 

temperature 

will 

drop 

below 

60°F

(15°C) 

or 

rise 

above 

110°F 

(43°C). 

The 

compressor 

will 

not 

be 

able 

to 

maintain

proper 

temperatures.

In 

recessed 

installation, 

allow 

an 

extra 

1/2 

inch 

(10-15 

mm) 

on 

each 

side 

for

ease 

of 

installation.

If 

the 

hinge 

side 

of 

the 

unit 

will 

be 

placed 

against 

wall, 

allow 

3/4 

inch

(44 

mm) 

space 

between 

the 

wall 

and 

the 

refrigerator.

Door Opening

The 

doors 

should 

open 

to 

allow 

easy 

access 

to 

counter 

when 

removing 

food.

• Do 

not 

position 

the 

refrigerator 

so 

you 

have 

to 

walk 

around 

the 

refrigerator 

doors.

• Reverse 

the 

doors 

if 

necessary. 

See 

"Reversible 

Door 

Instructions."

Leveling

All 

four 

corners 

of 

the 

refrigerator 

must 

rest 

firmly 

on 

solid 

floor.

1.

Open 

refrigerator 

door 

and 

remove 

toe 

grill.

2.

Use 

3/8" 

socket 

wrench 

or 

nutdriver 

to 

adjust 

rollers 

as 

shown. 

RAISE 

THE

FRONT 

of 

cabinet 

enough 

so 

doors 

will 

close 

freely 

when 

opened 

halfway.

3.

Level 

cabinet 

side 

to 

side.

4.

Replace 

toe 

grill, 

line 

up 

clips 

with 

holes, 

and 

push 

grill 

straight 

on.

Cleaning

Wash 

the 

inside, 

all 

removable 

parts 

and 

the 

outside 

with 

mild 

detergent 

and

warm water. Wipe dry. DO NOT USE HARSH CLEANERS ON THESE SURFACES.

Do 

not 

use 

razor 

blades 

or 

other 

sharp 

instruments 

which 

can 

scratch 

the

appliance 

surface, 

when 

removing 

adhesive 

labels. 

Any 

glue 

left 

from 

the

tape 

or 

energy label 

can 

be 

removed with 

mixture of 

warm 

water and 

mild

detergent, 

or, 

touch 

the 

residue 

with 

the 

sticky 

side 

of 

tape 

already 

removed.

DO NOT REMOVE THE SERIAL PLATE.
