Cleaning it

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 thumb to make a ball, then remove.

• 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 220 or 240 Volt, 50 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused and properly grounded electrical supply is required. It is recom mended 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

Installing it properly

1. Allow 1.25 cm ('/2 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 16.)

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 16.)

2. Set the Freezer Control to B.
