When installing your refrigerator, please reference chart below for clearance

requirements. Subflooring or floor coverings (i.e.

carpet, tile, wood floors, rugs) may make your opening smaller than anticipated.

Some clearance may be gained by using the levelingprocedure under How to Level Your Refrigerator (page

10).

Follow these tips when moving the refrigerator to final location:

NEVER transport refrigerator on its side. If an upright position is not possible, lay refrigerator on its back. Allow refrigerator to sit upright for approximately 30 minutes prior to plugging refrigerator in to assure oil returns to the compressor. Plugging refrigerator in immediately may cause damage to internal parts.

Use an appliance dolly when moving refrigerator.ALWAYStruck refrigerator from its side or back-

NEVER from its front. Protect outside finish of refrigerator

Observe these points when choosing the final locationfor your refrigerator:

DO NOT install refrigerator near oven, radiator or other heat source. If not possible, shield refrigerator with

cabinet material. DO NOT install where temperature

falls below 55° F (13° C). Malfunction may occur at this temperature.

Toassure proper door closure, follow the leveling instructions in the section, How to Level Your Refrigerator (page 10).

may cause water and cartridge to eject. Use caution when removing.

1. Turn filter counterclockwise until it

releases from filter head.

WHEN DO I CHANGE THE WATER FILTER?

The filter should be changed approximately every 6 months.

IMPORTANT: Condition of water and amount used determines lifespan of

water filter cartridge. If water use is high, or if water is of poor quality, replacement may need to take place

more often.

SYSTEM. WHERE'S THE

WATER?

During initial use, allow about a 1 to 2 minute delay in water dispersal to allow

internal water tank to fill.

WHAT IF I CHOOSE NOT TO USE THE WATER

FILTRATION SYSTEM?

Dispenser feature may be used without water filter cartridge. If you choose this option, replace filter with blue bypass

cap.
