• Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room,
out of direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or
registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-
producing appliances such as a range, oven
or dishwasher.
• Level the refrigerator so the doors close tightly.
• Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents.
Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use
more energy. Shelves should not be lined with aluminum
foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with
cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient,
which could cause food spoilage.
• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing
them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture
build-up inside the unit.
• Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings.
Remove as many items as needed at one time and close
the door as soon as possible.
If door must be removed:
1. Gently lay refrigerator on its back, on a rug or
blanket.
2. Remove two base screws and base panel. Remove
wire clips on bottom of cabinet
3. Remove bottom hinge screws.
4. Remove plastic top hinge cover.
5. Remove screws from top hinge.
6. Remove top hinge from cabinet.
7. Remove door and bottom hinge from cabinet.
8. To replace door, reverse the above order and securely
tighten all screws to prevent hinge slippage.
