COMPLETING THE SET UP
Now that you have your new refrigerator installed
in place, you are ready to set up and enjoy the
features and functions of the appliance.
By completing the following steps, your refrigerator
should be fully operational.
1.
Make sure your refrigerator is in an appropriate
location with reasonable clearance between it
and the wall. Refer to installation instructions in
this manual.
2.
Once the refrigerator is plugged in, make sure
the interior light comes on when you open the
doors.

Set the Temperature control to the coldest
temperature and wait for an hour. The freezer
will get slightly chilled and the motor will run
smoothly. Reset the refrigerator and freezer to
the temperatures you want.

After you plug the refrigerator in, it will take a
few hours to reach the appropriate temperature.
You can store food and drinks in the refrigerator
after the temperature is suffi ciently cool.
To get more space, you can remove top freezer

mechanical characteristics. A declared storage
volume of frozen food storage compartment is
calculated with these drawers removed.
