Unpacking Your Refrigerator

WARNING
Use two or more people to move and install the
y
refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrig-
y
erator 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 refrig-
erator when trying to move it, as floor damage
could occur.
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
y
gasoline, away from the refrigerator. Failure to do
so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
Remove tape and any temporary labels from your refrigera-
tor 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 refrigerator, behind the base
grille.
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly
with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily re-
moved 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

Select a place where a water supply can be easily con-
y
nected for the automatic icemaker.
NOTE
The water pressure must be between 20 and 120
psi (140 and 830 kPa) on models without a water
filter and between 40 and 120 psi (280 and 830
kPa)on models with a water filter.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
y
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for
115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 am-
peres. This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could
cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. It is recom-
mended that a separate circuit serving only this appli-
ance be provided.
WARNING
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 cabi-
net slightly. Turn the leveling legs to the left to raise the unit
or to the right to lower it. (See Leveling and door AlIgnment.)
NOTE
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 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.

Measuring the Clearances

Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in
lowered freezing capability and increased electricity con-
sumption charges. Allow at least 24 inches (61 cm) in front
of the refrigerator to open the doors and at least 2 inches
(5.08 cm) between the back of the refrigerator and the wall.
