PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems 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.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
■■Take off the doors.
■■Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
Important information to know about disposal of refrigerants:
Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed, EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
UNPACK THE REFRIGERATOR
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.
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. 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.
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 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.
Clean Before Using
■■ 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.
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, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

8.Use a 3/8" hex-head socket to turn the leveling screws located in both sides of the refrigerator. See graphic 10.
9.Raise the wheels while one person pushes on the refrigerator to lift from front side. Use the bubble level on top of the
refrigerator or on its side to level the refrigerator. Check bubble level and at the same time observe the gaps and squareness to the adjacent cabinets, furniture or trim. If adjacent furnishings are not level, it may not be possible to achieve even gaps when refrigerator is level.
NOTE: Depending on uneven floor conditions, you must turn one or both screws to the right or left several times to raise or lower the refrigerator. Continue adjusting until all four corners are steady without rock.
10.Close both doors and check that they close as easily as you like. If not, turn both screws to the right to raise the refrigerator by tilting it more to the back until the doors close as easily as you like.
11.Check and make sure that the technician sheet is placed in the base grille cavity before assembling the base grille into the cabinet.
12.Reinstall the left side of the base grille first, and then the right side. See graphic 3. You may insert the water dispenser tubing and wiring into base grille cavity below the left bottom hinge.
13.Attach the base grille by pushing it into the cabinet clips. See graphic 2.
14.Using Phillips screwdriver, reinstall the screw to fix the base grill.
Door Alignment
The refrigerator doors are designed to be slightly misaligned vertically when the refrigerator is empty. Please follow the next steps to align the refrigerator doors.
1.Close both doors.
2.Use an 11/16" open-ended wrench tool to loosen the locking nut located below the refrigerator door. See graphic 11.
Accommodate the wrench tool so that it fits in the space.
3.Use a 5/16" open-ended wrench tool to turn the alignment screw. See graphic 12. Depending on how the refrigerator door is misaligned in relation to the freezer door, you must turn the screw to the right to raise or to the left to lower the refrigerator door until both doors have been aligned vertically.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
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.
IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor household use only.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for
1/2" (1.27 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 2" (5.08 cm) of space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave a 2" (5.08 cm) minimum space on each side (depending on your model) to allow the doors to swing open.
1/2" (1.27 cm)
2" (5.08 cm)
NOTES:
■■ 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.
■■ Normal minimum cabinet cut-out width required for product installation is 36" (91.44 cm). However, if the product is placed against an extended wall and the ability to remove the crisper pans is desired, an additional 18" (45.72 cm) of cabinet width is required, so a total cabinet opening width of 54" (137.16 cm) is recommended.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. 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.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or 20 A 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.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning, or removing a light bulb, 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. See the “Using the Controls” section.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.
TOOLS NEEDED:
■■ |
Flat-blade screwdriver |
■■ |
1/4" nut driver |
■■ |
7/16" and 1/2" open-end or |
■■ |
1/4" drill bit |
|
two adjustable wrenches |
■■ |
Cordless drill |
|
|
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a
1/4" (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 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
IMPORTANT:
■■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
■■ Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.
