Choosing the Proper Location
•
The refrigerator should always be plugged
into its own individual properly grounded
electrical outlet rated for 220 Volts, 60 Hz,
AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.
This provides the best performance and
also prevents overloading house wiring
circuits which could cause a fire hazard
from overheated wires. It is recommended
that a separate circuit serving only this
appliance be provided.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do
not install the refrigerator in a wet or
damp area. do not install in any outdoor
or sheltered outdoor location or direct
sunlight.

Flooring
To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be
leveled and installed on a solidly constructed
floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to
compensate for unevenness of the floor. The
front should be slightly higher than the rear to
aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned
easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the
leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to
the right to lower it. Poorly constructed timber
flooring can cause a limit in door adjustment
and the cabinet to become out of shape. (See
Leveling and door AlIgnment.)
Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces,
a platform or weakly supported
structure is not recommended.
NOTE
Unpacking Your Refrigerator
•
Use two or more people to move and
install the refrigerator. Failure to do so
can result in back or other injury.
•
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving
the refrigerator for cleaning or service,
be sure to protect the floor. Always pull
the refrigerator straight out when moving
it. Do not wiggle or walk the refrigerator
when trying to move it, as floor damage
could occur. Wind the leveling feet up
first so that the unit is on its rollers.
•
Keep flammable materials and vapors,
such as gasoline, away from the
refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in
fire, explosion, or death.

Remove tape and any temporary labels from
your refrigerator before using. Do not remove
any warning-type labels, the model and serial
number label, or the Tech Sheet that is located
under the front of the refrigerator.
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the
area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue
residue can also be easily removed by rubbing
a small amount of liquid dish soap over the
adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm
water and dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,
flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to
remove tape or glue. These products can
damage the surface of your refrigerator.
Refrigerator shelves are installed in the
shipping position. Please reinstall shelves
according to your individual storage needs.
