Unpacking Your Fridge

WARNiNg
• Use two or more people to move and
install the fridge. Failure to do so can result
in back or other injury.
• Your fridge is heavy. When moving the
fridge for cleaning or service, be sure to
protect the floor. Always pull the fridge
straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle
or walk the fridge when trying to move it,
as floor damage could occur. Wind the
leveling feet up first so that the unit is on
its rollers.
• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such
as gasoline, away from the fridge. Failure
to do so can result in fire, explosion, or
death.
Remove tape and any temporary labels from your
fridge before using. Do not remove any warning-
type labels, the model and serial number label, or
the Tech Sheet that is located under the front of
the fridge.
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 fridge.
Fridge shelves are installed in the shipping
position. Please reinstall shelves according to your
individual storage needs.

Choosing the Proper Location

• The fridge should always be plugged into its
own individual properly grounded electrical
outlet rated for 230 Volts, 50 Hz, AC only, and
fused at 15 or 20 amperes. This provides the
best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could
cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. It
is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
• After installing the appliance, connect the
power plug into a socket outlet. Before
moving and discarding the appliance,
disconnect the plug from the socket outlet.
WARNiNg
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
install the fridge 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
leveled and installed on a solidly constructed floor.
If required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate
for unevenness of the floor. The front should be
slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing.
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. Poorly
constructed timber flooring can cause a limit in
door adjustment and the cabinet to become out
of shape. (See Leveling and door AlIgnment.)
NOTE
Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a
platform or weakly supported structure is
not recommended.
