WARNING

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

■ Take off the doors.

■ Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily

climb inside.

INSTALLING YOUR

REFRIGERATOR

Unpacking Y our Refrigerator

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Remove shelves from the shipping position (shelves are shipped upside down):

IMPORTANT:

they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small pebble-size pieces. This is normal.

NOTE:

them to avoid impact from dropping.

Grasp the front of the upper shelf with one hand and use the

other hand to remove packing material from the shelf area. Lower the front of the upper shelf until shelf hooks can be

removed from the shelf supports and pull the shelf forward. Flip the shelf over and insert the rear shelf hooks into the

shelf supports. Tilt the front of shelf up until rear shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports.

Lower the front of the shelf and check to make sure that it is

securely in position.

Removing packaging materials

■ Remove tape and any labels from your refrigerator before

using (except the model and serial number label). 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. For more information, see “Refrigerator Safety” section.

■ On some models, shelves, bins, door shelf rails, and other

feature parts may be packaged in the Interior FeaturePak. Follow the instructions contained in the package for proper assembly.

Do not clean glass shelves with warm water when

Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when removing

IMPORTANT:

■ Depending on your model, do not remove any permanent

instruction labels inside your refrigerator or the Tech Sheet that is fastened behind the base grille.

■ Depending on your model, do not remove the white

Styrofoam insert that is located behind the control panel on the ceiling of the refrigerator. The insert is part of the refrigerator and not part of the packing material. If the insert is removed, ice may migrate down from the freezer and cause icicles to form.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

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.

Space Requirements

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

■ To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a

.5 in. (1.25 cm) space on each side.

■ Allow 3 in. (7.5 cm) of space between overhead cabinets and

refrigerator top.

■ Allow at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) between back of cabinet and the

wall.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death, fire, or electrical shock.

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection:

3" (7.5 cm)

2" (5.08 cm)

■ If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave

some extra space at the back for the water line connections.

■ If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave

2 in. (5.08 cm) minimum on the hinge side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open.

■ Level the refrigerator (See “Door Closing and Alignment”).

NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall below 40° F (5° C).

Recommended grounding method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
