INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

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.

NOTE: To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, 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 space to

allow the door to swing open.

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

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove the ground prong from the power

cord plug. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to do so can result in death, ﬁre or

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, disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you

are nished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and

reset the temperature controls to the desired setting.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

UNPACK THE REFRIGERATOR

Fire or Explosion Hazard

Do not puncture refrigerant tubing. Follow handling instructions carefully. Flammable refrigerant used. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or ﬁre.

IMPORTANT: Handle with care when moving refrigerator to avoid either damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

REMOVE THE PACKAGING

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. Wipe with warm water and dry. 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. For

more information, see “Refrigerator Safety.”

Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

•

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

WARNING

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.

CLEAN BEFORE USING

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of the refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in

“Refrigerator Care.”

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. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebblesize pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

3. Turn both front legs, by the same amount, to slightly raise the

front of the refrigerator. This will make it easier for the doors to close.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator

takes some weight o the leveling screws. This makes it easier

to turn the screws.

ALIGNING THE DOORS

(IF NEEDED)

If the edges of the refrigerator doors do not align with each other,

you can make adjustments:

COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove the ground prong from the power

cord plug. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to do so can result in death, ﬁre or

electrical shock.

1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2. Return all removable door parts to door and food to refrigerator.

NOTE: This refrigerator begins operating as soon as it is connected

to the power supply.

LEVELING

(IF NEEDED)

Using Adjustable Foot

Turn the adjustable foot to raise or lower that side of the

•

refrigerator.

Clockwise - to raise

•

Counterclockwise - to lower

•

Using Spacers (provided)

Open the door. With the door open, lift the door upward.

•

By hand or using pliers, clip the spacer (provided) onto the

•

center hinge pin.

REFRIGERATOR USE

OPENING AND CLOSING DOORS

There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be opened and closed either separately or together.

There is a vertically-hinged bar on the left-hand refrigerator

•

door.

When closing the left-hand refrigerator door, the hinged bar

•

folds behind the right-hand door joining the two refrigerator

doors.

There is a heating element inside the frame that helps prevent

•

moisture from developing on the bar. The temperature of the

surface may be warm, which is normal, and will not aect the

performance of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Before closing the left-hand door, make sure the vertically-hinged bar is folded inward. If the bar is pulled outward it may become damaged when you try to close the door.

REFRIGERATOR CARE

CLEANING

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.
