INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Refrigerator
Remove the Packaging
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. For more information,
see “Refrigerator Safety.”
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the white foam air return insert
from behind the control panel on the ceiling of the refrigerator. If
the insert is removed, ice may migrate down from the freezer and
cause icicles to form.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of
your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
“Refrigerator Care.”
Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these
instructions to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
■
Take off the doors.
■
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.

Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
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.
Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers
are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid
impact from dropping.
