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.
: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:
■

Location Requirements
INSTALLATION
Unpacking
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.
Removing packaging materials
■
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 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 the “Refrigerator Safety” section.
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 packaging materials, clean the inside
of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions
in the “Refrigerator Care” section.
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
(1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top. When 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. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra
space at the back for the water line connections.
Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or
NOTE:
other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall
below 55°F (13°C).

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.

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:
Base Grille
To remove the base grille:
Open both refrigerator doors.
1.
Place hands along the ends of the grille, with your thumbs
2.

2.
Push the grille firmly to snap it into place.
3.
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.
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.

Door Closing
Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers — one on the
right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or if
you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's
tilt using the instructions below:
Move the refrigerator into its final position.
1.
The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies
2.
which are at the base of the refrigerator on either side (see
Graphic 8).
Use a hex-head socket wrench to adjust the leveling screws.
3.
Turn the leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the
refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that
side. It may take several turns of the leveling screws to adjust
the tilt of the refrigerator (see Graphic 8).
Having someone push against the top of the
NOTE:
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and
rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.
Open both doors again and check to make sure that they
4.
close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly
more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the right. It
may take several more turns, and you should turn both
leveling screws the same amount.
Replace the base grille.
5.
Be sure to refasten the Tech Sheet behind the base grille.
NOTE:
Water Supply Connection
Read all directions carefully before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
■
If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is
connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
■
All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
■
Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing
only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.
Tools required:
wrenches or two adjustable wrenches,
bit, hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).
Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a
NOTE:
(6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing.
Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with
your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or
(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more
easily.
