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

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. See Electrical Requirements and
Grounding Instructions Sheet in your Literature
Package.
Installing it properly
1. Allow Уг inch (1.25 cm) space on each side and at
the top of the refrigerator for ease of installation.
2. 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.
3. The refrigerator can be flush against the back wall.
Cleaning it before use
After removing all packaging materials, clean your
refrigerator before using it, it necessary.

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 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 (Recommended
Setting). Refrigerator Control settings range from
1 (warmest) to 5 (coldest).
2. Set the Freezer Control to 3 (Recommended
Setting). Freezer Control settings range from
1 (warmest) to 5 (coldest).
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” below.
Changing the control settings
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator
or freezer, use the settings listed in the chart below as
a guide. If you have any questions, call our Consumer
