SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Do not install refrigerator near oven, radiator or other heat source. Wfnot possible, shield refrigerator with

cabinet material. Do not install where temperature falls below 55° F

(13° C) or rises above 110° F (43° C). Malfunction

may occur at this temperature. Refrigerator is designed for indoor household

application onlyo

• Use an appliance dolly when moving refrigerator. ALWAYS truck refrigerator from its side or

back-NEVER from its front.

• Protect outside finish of refrigerator during transport

by wrapping cabinet in blankets or inserting padding between the refrigerator and dolly.

• Secure refrigerator to dolly firmly with straps or

bungee cords. Thread straps through handles when possible. Do not overtighten. Overtightening restraints may dent or damage outside finish.

Measuring the Opening

When installing your refrigerator, allow '/_"space at top

and '/_"space behind machine compartment cover

(located in the rea0 for proper air circulation. If the refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may want to allow additional space so the

door can be opened wider. Subfiooring or floor coverings (i.e. carpet, tile, wood

floors, rugs) may make your opening smaller than anticipated.

Some clearance may be gained by using the leveling procedure under Leveling.

UMPORTANT: If refrigerator is to be installed into a recess where the top of the refrigerator is completely

covered, use dimensions from floor to top of hinge cap

to verify proper clearance.

Transporting Your Refrigerator

NEVER transport refrigerator on its side. If an upright position is not possible, lay refrigerator on its back. Allow refrigerator to sit upright for approximately 30 minutes before plugging it in to

assure oil returns to the compressor. Plugging refrigerator in immediately may cause damage to internal parts.

you first start the refrigerator, during hot weather and

after excessive or lengthy door openings.

• 24 hours after adding food, you may decide that one or both compartments should be colder or warmer. If

so, adjust the control(s) as indicated in the

Temperature Control Guide table below. See page 23

for instructions on checking compartment temperature.

• Except when starting the refrigerator, do not change either control more than one number at a time.
