Before Using Your
Refrigerator
It is important to prepare your refrigerator for use. This section tells you how to clean it,
connect it to a power source, install it, and level it.
Cleaning your refrigerator
Removing packaging materials
Remove tape and any inside labels (except
the model and serial number label) before
using the refrigerator.
NOTE:
Do not remove any permanent
instruction labels inside your refrigerator.
Do not remove the Tech Sheet fastened
under the refrigerator at the front.
To remove any remaining glue:
l Rub briskly with thumb to make a ball, then
remove.
OR
l Soak area with liquid hand-dishwashing
detergent before removing glue as
described above. Do not use sharp
instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
fluids, or abrasive cleaners. These can
damage the material. See “Important

Cleaning it before use
After removing all packaging materials,
clean your refrigerator before
using it, if necessary. See
cleaning instructions on
pages 24-25.

you might want to leave extra space on
the hinge side closest to the wall so the
door can be opened wider.

Using Your Refrigerator
To obtain the best possible results from your refrigerator, it is important that you operate it
properly. This section tells you how to set the controls, remove and adjust some of the
features in your refrigerator, and how to save energy.
Setting the controls
Controls for the refrigerator and freezer are
in the refrigerator. When you plug in the
refrigerator for the first time:
1. Set the Refrigerator Control to 3.
Refrigerator Control adjustments range
from 1 (warmest) to 5 (coldest).
2. Set the Freezer Control to 6.
Freezer Control adjustments range from
A (warmest) to C (coldest).
3. Give the refrigerator time to cool down
completely before adding food. This may
take several hours.
The settings indicated above should be
correct for normal, household refrigerator
usage. The controls are set correctly
when milk or juice is as cold as you like
and when ice cream is firm. If you need to
adjust these settings, see “Changing the
control settings” on page 9.
NOTE: The Automatic Exterior Moisture
control continuously guards against
moisture buildup on the outside of your
refrigerator cabinet. This control does not
have to be set or adjusted.
