Installing your refrigerator

Before using your refrigerator

• Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
• Wash the inside with a damp, warm cloth and a baking soda solution (two tablespoons in a quart of water), then wipe dry with a dry cloth. Do this periodically to keep your refrigerator looking new.

Finding a suitable location

CAUTION: Your refrigerator is not designed for a recessed installation.
• Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support it when fully loaded.
• Do not install your refrigerator on carpeting or a rug.
• Your refrigerator is designed to be free standing and should not be recessed or built-in.
• Do not install your refrigerator in a garage or any other outside installation.
• Level your refrigerator using the leveling foot. If you do not level your refrigerator, the door may not close or seal correctly, causing cooling, frost, and moisture problems. Turn the leveling foot clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower a side.
• If you locate your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, allow sufficient space on the hinge side for the door to swing open.
• Position your refrigerator away from direct sunlight and sources of heat, such as a stove, heater, or radiator. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold temperatures may also prevent your refrigerator from performing correctly.
• Avoid locating your refrigerator in moist areas.
• Your refrigerator is designed to operate in a temperature range of 50° F (10° C) and 109° F (43° C). If you operate your refrigerator outside this temperature range, your refrigerator may not work correctly.
