Unpacking Your Refrigerator
WARNING
Use two or more people to move and install
the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in
back or other injury.
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.
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such
as gasoline, away from the refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion,
or death.
Remove tape and any temporary labels from your
refrigerator before using. Do not remove any
warning-type labels, the model and serial number
labels.
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.
Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping
position. Please reinstall shelves according to your
individual storage needs.
Choosing the Proper Location
The refrigerator should always be plugged
into its own individual properly grounded
electrical outlet rated for 115V ~ 60 Hz, AC only,
and fused at 15 A.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits
which
could cause a fire
overheated wires. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance be
provided.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
install the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.
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 (See Leveling section).
Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a
platform or weakly supported structure is
not recommended.
Ambient Temperature
Install this appliance in an area where the
temperature
110°F (43°C). If the temperature around the
appliance is too low or high, cooling ability
may be adversely affected.
