CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a
cooling system that used CFCs
or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or
hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCsand HCFCs
are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if
released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants
may also cause harm to the environment if
released to the atmosphere.
]:f you are throwing away your old refrigerator,
make sure the refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualified technician. If
you intentionally release refrigerant, you may
be subject to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.
* Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly,
and pull straight out from the receptacle to
prevent damaging the power cord.

This Use & Care Guide provides general
installation and operating instructions for
your model. We recommend using a service
or kitchen contracting professional to install
your refrigerator. Use the refrigerator only as
instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before
starting the refrigerator, follow these important
first steps.
Installation
Do Not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C) or
rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor
will not be able to maintain proper
temperatures inside the refrigerator.
Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front
of your refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation
is essential for the proper operation of your
refrigerator.
• Allow the following clearances for ease
of installation, proper air circulation, and
plumbing and electrical connections:
Sides & Top 3/8 inch (9.5 ram)
Back 1 inch (25,4 ram)
Location
Choose a place that is near a grounded,

firmly on the floor.
* The sides should tilt 1/4inch (6 mm) from
front to back (to ensure that doors close
and seal properly).
* Doors should align with each other and be
level.
Most of these conditions can be met by raising
or lowering the adjustable front rollers.
