WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from appliance.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.
IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor, household use
only.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 1"
(2.54cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 2" (5.08 cm)
of space behind the refrigerator. When installing your refrigerator
next to a xed wall, leave 4" (10 cm) minimum to allow for the door
to swing open.
NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where
the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a
maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range
for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and
provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C). It
is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near a heat
source, such as an oven or radiator.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING

electrical shock.
Before you move your refrigerator into its nal location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 volt, 60 Hz, AC only 15- or 20-amp 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 o by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning,

REFRIGERATOR CARE
CLEANING
2. Replace the drawer by tilting the back of the drawer downward
onto the support and sliding it in.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid buildup
of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in
one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean
both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor transfer and drying
out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach,
•
concentrated detergent, solvents, abrasives or metal scouring
pads to clean your refrigerator inside or out. They can damage
and/or discolor the refrigerator nish.
Do not use warm water to clean glass shelves while they are still
•
cold. Glass may break when exposed to sudden temperature
changes or impact.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Unplug your appliance or disconnect power before
cleaning.
Failure to do so can result in death, electric shock or
personal injury.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Clean the interior. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts
and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft
cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
3. Clean the exterior surfaces.
Painted metal: Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean, soft
cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse
surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to avoid
water spots.
Stainless steel: Stainless steel is corrosion resistant and not
corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of your stainless steel,
wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean, soft cloth or sponge
and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse surfaces with clean,
warm water and dry immediately to avoid water spots.
NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in the
