UNPACKING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
• Remove tape and any labels (except for the rating label)
from your refrigerator. Tape or glue residue can also be
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.
• When moving the refrigerator, do not tilt the refrigerator
beyond 45° from upright position.
LEVELING LEGS
Adjustable legs at the front corners of the refrigerator
should be set so the refrigerator is firmly positioned
on the floor, and the front is raised just enough that
the door closes easily when opened about halfway.
To adjust the leveling legs, turn the legs clockwise
to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.
To raise the refrigerator
POWER CORD
• Plug the refrigerator power cord into its own properly
grounded wall outlet with a voltage rating matching that
on the refrigerator rating plate.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Read all safety precautions on pages 2 and 3.
