Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your
refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in “Caring For
Your Refrigerator.”
Location Requirements
Ventilation and Clearance
■
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from
refrigerator.
■
Do not cover the refrigerator with items such as blankets, sheets,
tablecloths, etc. This reduces air circulation.
■
Allow at least 1" (2.5 cm) between the back of the refrigerator and
the wall. If the refrigerator is to be next to a fixed wall, leave extra
space on the hinge side so the door can open wider.
Temperature
Your refrigerator operates most efficiently when located in an area
where the temperature will not fall below 40°F (5°C). Place your
refrigerator in a location where the temperature will not fall below this
recommended temperature.
Upon Moving to Final Location
NOTE:
This refrigerator may be installed side by side with another
freezer or refrigerator. Allow for a 1" (2.54 cm) space behind the
refrigerator and a
¹⁄₄
" (6.4 mm) clearance between the appliances.
Electrical Requirements
Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to
make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical
supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving
only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned
off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE:
Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing
a light bulb, press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds to turn off
cooling, and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source.
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 both hands when removing them to avoid
dropping.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
