Proper Disposal of
Your Old Refrigerator
W ARNING
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

shipped upside down):
Grasp the front of the upper shelf with one hand and use the
1.
other hand to remove packing material from the shelf area.
Lower the front of the upper shelf until shelf hooks can be
2.
removed from the shelf supports and pull the shelf forward.
Flip the shelf over and insert the rear shelf hooks into the
3.
shelf supports. Tilt th e 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
4.
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 Int erior FeaturePak.
Follow the instructions contained in the package for proper
assembly.
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 inse rt that is located behi nd the control panel on
the ceiling of the refrigerator. The insert is part of the
refrigerator and not part of the packing materi al. 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.
Cleaning before use
After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of
your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
the “Caring for your Refrigerator” section.
Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers 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. Glass
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.
Space 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 and at the top.
.5" (1.25 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.
The refrigerator can be flush against the back wall if you do
not have an ice maker installed.
■ If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave
2 in. (5.08 cm) minimum on each side (depending on your
model) to allow for the door to swing open.
Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or

Electrical Requirements
W ARNING
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:
Recommended gr oun ding met hod
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 tur ned off by a switch. Do not use an
extension cord.
Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
NOTE:
removing a light bulb, turn the control, (Thermostat, Refrigerator
or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then
disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you
are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source
and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control
depending on the model) to the desired setting.
Tools required:
■ Standard screwdriver
■ ⁷⁄₁₆ in. and ¹⁄₂ in. open-end wrenches or two adjustable
wrenches
■ ¹⁄₄ in. nut driver
■ ¹⁄₄ in. drill bit
■ Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)
Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a
NOTE:
¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and copper
tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercingtype or ³⁄₁₆ in. (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow
and clogs more easily.
Cold water supply
The ice maker water valve contai ns a flow washer which is used
as a water pressure regulator. The ice maker needs to be
connected to a cold water line with water pressure between 30
and 120 psi. If a problem occurs, ca ll your utility company.
Connecting to water line:
Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
1.
Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
2.
enough to clear line of water.
Locate a ½ in. to 1¹⁄₄ in. (12.7 mm to 3.18 cm) vertical COLD
3.
water pipe near the refrigerator.
Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure
NOTE:
must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the
bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This
also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
To determine the length of copper tubing you will need,
4.
measure from connection on lower left rear of refrigerator to
water pipe. Add 7 ft. (2.1 m) to allow for moving refrigerator
for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter)
copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut
square.
Using a gr ounded drill, drill a ¹⁄₄ in. hole in the cold water pipe
