Unpacking the Refrigerator

WARNING
• Use two or more people to move and install the
refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back
injury or other injury.
• The refrigerator is heavy. Protect the floor when
moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service.
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.
• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from the refrigerator. Failure to
do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
NOTE
• Remove tape and any temporary labels from your
refrigerator before using. Do not remove any
warning labels, the model and serial number label,
or the circuit diagram that is located behind the
refrigerator.
• To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area
briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can
also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount
of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your
fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
• 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.
• Reinstall or adjust shelves as needed. Refrigerator
shelves are installed in the shipping position.
Reinstall shelves according to your individual
storage needs.
Choosing the Proper
Location
Electricity
Use an individual, grounded outlet:115 Volts, 60 Hz,
AC, 15 Amps minimum.
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install
the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.
• Do not install in any outdoor or sheltered outdoor
location or direct sunlight.
Flooring
To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be
installed and leveled on a solidly constructed floor. If
required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate for
the unevenness of the floor. Leveling legs can be
turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the
leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to the right
to lower it.
NOTE
• Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a platform
or weakly supported structure is not recommended.

Install this appliance in an area where the temperature
is between 55 °F(13 °C) and 110 °F (43 °C).
If the temperature around the appliance is too low or
high, cooling ability may be adversely affected.
