INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Unpacking Your Refrigerator
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base
and al adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories
inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed
materials before powering on the refrigerator.
Proper Air Circulation
• To assure your refrigerator works at the maximum efficiency it
was designed for, you should install it in a location where
there is proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical

safety hazards under certain conditions. If it is necessary to
use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that
has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will
accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the
appliance.
