11 INSTALLATION

Unpacking Your Refrigerator

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. Please remove vinyl from doors before connecting unit to the electrical supply (on some models). 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 residue 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 remove tape or glue. These products can damage

the surface of your refrigerator.

Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping position. Please reinstall shelves according to your individual storage needs.

Choosing the Proper Location

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 lter and between 40 and 120 psi (0,28 - 0,82 MPa) on models with a water lter

The refrigerator should al ways be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115/127 V~ 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 A.

This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house

hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

WARNING

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.
