Before 

starting 

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 

refrigerator 

out 

of 

direct 

sunlight 

and 

away 

from 

range,

dishwasher, 

or 

other 

heat 

sources.

Refrigerator 

must 

be 

installed 

on 

floor 

that 

is 

level 

and 

strong 

enough

to 

support

for 

models 

equipped 

with 

an 

automatic 

ice

where 

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.

Allow 

space 

around 

unit

good 

air 

circulation. 

Leave 

inch 

(25 

mm) 

space

behind 

and 

inch 

(75 

mm) 

space 

above

In 

recessed 

installation, 

allow 

an 

extra 

1/2 

inch 

(10-15 

mm) 

on 

each 

side 

for

installation 

ease.

For 

best 

circulation, 

elevate

inch 

(25 

mm) 

from 

floor, 

especially 

if 

floor 

is

carpeted.

Door Opening

Doors 

should 

open 

to 

allow 

easy 

access 

to 

counter 

when 

removing 

food.

• Do 

not 

position 

refrigerator 

so 

you 

have 

to 

walk 

around 

refrigerator 

doors.

• Reverse 

doors 

if 

necessary. 

 

See 

"Reversible 

Door 

Instructions."

Leveling

All 

four 

corners 

of 

refrigerator 

must 

rest 

firmly 

on 

solid 

floor. 

Some 

models 

are

screw-type 

levelers. 

Others 

are 

equipped 

with 

rollers. 

If

your 

refrigerator 

did 

not 

come 

with 

rollers, 

they 

can 

be 

purchased 

from 

your 

dealer.

cabinet 

back 

slightly 

and

raise 

adjusting

models): 

 

Use 

screwdriver, 

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. 

Level 

cabinet 

side 

to 

side. 

 

Refer 

to 

the 

InstructionSheet, 

packed 

with 

the

Toe 

Grille, 

to 

replace 

the 

Toe 

Grille 

(some 

models).

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 

that
