Removing packaging materials
Remove tape and any inside labels (except

using the refrigerator.
To remove any remaining glue:
• Rub briskly with 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

NOTE: Do not remove any permanent
instruction labels inside your refrigerator. Do

Plugging it in
Recommended Grounding Method
A 220 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.
BEFORE USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Instailing it properly
1. Allow 1.25 cm {V2 inch) space on each
side and at the top of the refrigerator for
ease of installation.
2. If the refrigerator is to be against a wall,
you might want to leave extra space on
the hinge side closest to the wall so the
door can be opened wider.
3. The refrigerator can be flush against the
wall.
Leveling it
Your refrigerator has 2 front leveling
screws-one on the right and one on the left.
To adjust one or both of these, follow the
directions below.
1. Remove base grille. (See page 12.)
2. To raise front, turn screw clockwise.
3. To lower front, turn screw counterclock
wise.
4. Check with level.
5. Replace base grille. (See page 12.)
