11 INSTALLATION
Unpacking Your Refrigerator Choosing the Proper Location
WARNING
Use two or more people to move and
install the refrigerator. Failure to do so
can result in back or other injury.
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving
the refrigerator for cleaning or service,
be sure to protect the floor. 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.
Keep flammable materials and vapors,
such as gasoline, away from the
refrigerator. Failure to do so can result
in fire, explosion, or death.
\
Remove tape and any temporary labels from
your refrigerator before using. Do not remove
any warning-type labels, the model and serial
number label, or the Tech Sheet that is located
under the front of the refrigerator.
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the
area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue resi-
due can also be easily removed by rubbing a
small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhe-
sive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water
and dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,
flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to re-
move tape or glue. These products can damage
the surface of your refrigerator.
Refrigerator shelves are installed in the ship-
ping position. Please reinstall shelves according
to your individual storage needs.
Select a place where a water supply can
be easily connected for the automatic
icemaker.
NOTE
The water pressure must be between
20 and 120 psi (0,14 - 0,82 MPa) on models
without a water filter and between 40 and
120 psi (0,28- 0,82 MPa) on models with a
water filter.
The refrigerator should al ways be plugged
into its own individual properly grounded
electrical outlet rated for 115/127V- 60 Hz,
AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 A.
This provides the best performance
and also prevents overloading house
wiring circuits which could cause a fire
hazard from overheated wires. It is
recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
WARN ING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
install the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.
Flooring
To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be
leveled and installed on a solidly constructed
floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to
compensate for unevenness of the floor. The
front should be slightly higher than the rear to
aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned
easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the
leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to
the right to lower it. (See Leveling and Door
Alignment.)
NOTE
Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a
platform or weakly supported structure is
not recommended.
INSTALLATION12
Ambienf Temperafure
Installthisappliancein an area where the tem-
perature is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F
(43°C). If the temperature around the appliance
is too low or high, cooling ability may be ad-
versely affected.
Measuring the Clearances
Too small of a distance from adjacent items
may result in lowered freezing capability and in-
creased electricity consumption charges. Allow
at least 24 inches (61 cm) in front of the refrig-
erator to open the doors, and at least 2 inches
(5.08 cm) between the back of the refrigerator
and the wall.
