IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• Read all instructions before using the
refrigerator.
• Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous … even if they will “just sit
in the garage a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your old
refrigerator, do it safely. Please read
the enclosed safety booklet from the
Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers. Help prevent accidents.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when
using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:
• Never allow children to operate, play with,
or crawl inside the refrigerator.
• Never clean refrigerator parts with flam-
mable fluids. The fumes can create a fire
hazard or explosion.
• FOR YOUR SAFETY •
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR
OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND
LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR
ANY OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES
CAN CREATE A FIRE HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.

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.
To remove any remaining glue:
• Rub briskly with your thumb to make a ball,
then remove.
OR
• 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
Safety Instructions” on page 3.
Plugging it in
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere
fused and properly grounded electrical
supply is required. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance
be provided. Use a receptacle which cannot
be turned off with a switch or pull chain. Do
not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Do not remove any permanent
instruction labels inside your refrigerator. Do
not remove the Tech Sheet fastened under
the refrigerator at the front.
Cleaning it before use
After removing all packaging materials, clean
your refrigerator before using it,
if necessary. See cleaning
instructions on pages 10 and 11.

BEFORE USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Installing it properly
1. Allow 4 inches (10.2 cm) of space be-
tween overhead cabinets and refrigerator
top.
2. Allow at least 3 inches (7.5 cm) between
back of cabinet and the wall.
3. Allow 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space on each
side of the refrigerator for proper air
circulation.
4. If the hinge side of the refrigerator is to be
against a wall, you might want to leave
extra space so the door can be opened
wider.
5. Level your refrigerator.
Leveling it
Keep the 2 bolts that keep the refrigerator in
the shipping crate. They are the front
leveling legs.
1. Screw these legs all the way into the bolt
holes in the bottom corners of the refrigerator.
2. Slide the refrigerator into place.
3. Lower the front legs just enough to lift the
cabinet front off the floor.
4. Adjust the legs to level the refrigerator.
• Turn clockwise to LOWER.
• Turn counterclockwise to RAISE.
5. Check with level.
