INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT

Cleaning your Refrigerator

Remove tape and glue residue from 

surfaces before turning the refriger-

ator on. Rub a small amount of liquid 

dish soap over the adhesive with your 

fingers. Rinse with warm water and dry 

with a soft cloth.
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.
After you remove all of the package ma-

terials, clean the inside of your refriger-

ator before using it. See the 

CARE AND 

CLEANING

 section in this manual.

IMPORTANT

Moving your Refrigerator

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving 

the refrigerator for cleaning or service, 

raise the anti-tip bracket (see “

Setting 

the Anti-tip Brackets”

). Also be sure to 

cover the floor with cardboard or hard-

board to avoid floor damage. Always 

pull the refrigerator straight out when 

moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the 

refrigerator when trying to move it as 

you could damage the floor.

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.

ed electrical outlet. Do Not use an 

extension cord or an adapter plug.

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 

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

front to back (to ensure that doors 

close and seal properly).

ic ice maker. If you do not hook up 

water to the refrigerator, remember 

to turn the ice maker off.

CAUTION

Do not install the refrigerator where the 

temperature will drop below 50°F (10°C) 

or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compres-

sor will not be able to maintain proper 

temperatures inside the refrigerator.
Do not block the toe grille on the lower  

front of your refrigerator. Sufficient air 

circulation is essential for the proper 

operation of your refrigerator.
