Installation Checklist

CAUTION

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, may result in

minor or moderate injury.

For your Safety

• DO NOT store or use gasoline, or other

ammable liquids in the vicinity of this or

any other appliance. Read product labels

for warnings regarding ammability and

other hazards.

• DO NOT operate the refrigerator in the

presence of explosive fumes.

• Avoid contact with any moving parts of

automatic ice maker.

• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples

can cause severe cuts, and also destroy

nishes if they come in contact with other

appliances or furniture.

WARNING

Please read all instructions before using this

refrigerator.

Child Safety

Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and

any exterior wrapping material immediately

after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children

should never use these items to play. Cartons

covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic

sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight

chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation.

Proper Disposal of your

Refrigerator or Freezer

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not

problems of the past. Junked or abandoned

refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous –

even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If you

are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer,

please follow the instructions below to help

prevent accidents.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Grounding type wall receptacle

Power cord with

3-prong grounded plug

Do not, under

any circumstances,

cut, remove,

or bypass the

grounding prong.

Electrical information

• The refrigerator must be plugged into its

own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp,

AC only electrical outlet. The power cord of

the appliance is equipped with a three-

prong grounding plug for your protection

against electrical shock hazards. It must be

plugged directly into a properly grounded

three prong receptacle. The receptacle

must be installed in accordance with local

codes and ordinances. Consult a qualied

electrician. Avoid connecting refrigerator to

a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do

not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

• If the power cord is damaged, it should

be replaced by an authorized service

technician to prevent any risk.

• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on

the power cord. Always grip the plug rmly,

and pull straight out from the receptacle to

prevent damaging the power cord.

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning

and before replacing a light bulb to avoid

electrical shock.

• Performance may be affected if the voltage

varies by 10% or more. Operating the

refrigerator with insufcient power can

damage the compressor. Such damage is

not covered under your warranty.

• Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet

controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to

prevent the refrigerator from being turned

off accidentally.

WARNING

These guidelines must be followed to ensure

that safety mechanisms in this refrigerator

will operate properly.

IMPORTANT

Turning the Refrigerator controls to “0” will

disable your refrigerator’s cooling system,

but does not disconnect the power to the

light bulb and other electrical components.

To turn off power to your refrigerator you

must unplug the power cord from the

electrical outlet.

CAUTION

To avoid personal injury or property

damage, handle tempered glass shelves

carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if

nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden

temperature change.

Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers

We strongly encourage responsible appliance

recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility

company or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle for

more information on recycling your old refrigerator.

Before you throw

away your old

refrigerator/

freezer:

• Remove doors.

• Leave shelves in

place so children

may not easily

climb inside.

• Have refrigerant

removed by a

qualied service technician.

IMPORTANT

CFC/HCFC Disposal

Your old refrigerator may have

a cooling system that used CFCs

or HCFCs (chlorouorocarbons or

hydrochlorouorocarbons). CFCs and

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.

If you are throwing away your old

refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is

removed for proper disposal by a qualied

technician. If you intentionally release

refrigerant, you may be subject to nes

and imprisonment under provisions of

environmental legislation.

FEATURES AT A GLANCE

Features may vary according to model

IMPORTANT

Cleaning your Refrigerator

Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator. Rub a small

amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your ngers. Rinse with warm water and

dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, ammable uids, or abrasive cleaners to

remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator.

After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before

using it. See the “Care & Cleaning” section in this manual.

See important information about cleaning glass shelves and covers in the “Optional Features”

section of this manual.

IMPORTANT

Moving your Refrigerator

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure

to cover the oor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid oor damage. Always pull the

refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the refrigerator when trying

to move it as oor damage could occur.

INSTALLATION



NOTE

If your refrigerator is placed with the door

hinge side against a wall, you may have to

allow additional space for the handle so the

door can be opened wider.

CAUTION

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. Sufcient air circulation

is essential for the proper operation of your

refrigerator.

This Use & Care Guide provides general

operating instructions for your model. Use the

refrigerator only as instructed in this Use &

Care Guide. Before starting the refrigerator,

follow these important rst steps.

Location

• Choose a place that is near a grounded

electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension

cord or an adapter plug.

• If possible, place the refrigerator out of

direct sunlight and away from the range,

dishwasher or other heat sources.

• The refrigerator must be installed on a oor

that is level and strong enough to support

a fully loaded refrigerator.

• Consider water supply availability for

models equipped with an automatic ice

maker. If you do not hook up water to

the refrigerator, remember to turn the ice

maker off.

Installation

Installation clearances

• Allow the following clearances for ease

of installation, proper air circulation, and

plumbing and electrical connections:

Sides & Top ⅜ inch

Back 1 inch

Guidelines for nal positioning of your

refrigerator:

• All four corners of the cabinet must rest

rmly on the oor.

• The cabinet should be level at the front

and rear.

• The sides should tilt ¼-inch (6 mm) from

front-to-back (to ensure that doors close

and seal properly).

• Doors should align with each other and be level.


