Pick the Right Place.
Save steps by putting your refrigerator near the sink and next to a
countertop, it should not be near a stove, radiator, water heater or
any source of heat, .including direct sunlight.
You can install it flush against the wall in back. Leave ' 2 inch
(1,3 cm) clearance against cabinets on each side for ease of instal
lation, Do you want it in a corner? Leave some room on the wall side
if you want the doors to open wider.
Planning to add the automatic ice maker? Will the refrigerator be
near a cold water pipe'?’ Some people run the water line through the
floor to the basement. Others run if behind the cabinets to the pipes
under the sink
Make Sure It’s Level.
Your refrigerator is on rollers: the hwo front ones are adjustable tor
leveling.
Remove the base grill to uncover the leveling screws. With a
screwdriver, turn each screw to the right to raise the front Turn them
to the left to lower the front. (If you have someone tilt the top of the
refrigerator back while turning, it will be easier)
Keep adjusting one or the other until the refrigerator won’t rock.
Then raise or lower both by the some number of turns until the refrig
erator is level (use o level to check this). If you don't hove a level, the
refrigerator will be about right when you con open the refrigerator
door port way and it will stay where you put it.
Peel Off the Labels.
Remove the Consumer Buy Guide label and other inside labels
before using the refrigerator. Any glue left con be token oft with
rubbing alcohol.

Cleaning your refrigerator
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.

to OFF, take out all removable parts, and clean it according to the
following directions.
Inside.
You can wash the parts you take out in the sink with a mild soap or
mild detergent and warm water. Harsh cleansers, scouring powders
and solvents should never be used on any part of your refrigerator.
Wash the walls with a solution of two tablespoons (30g) of baking
soda mixed with one quart (1L) of warm water. Rinse weii and dry. Let
the freezer warm up with the door open tor 10 or 15 minutes so the
cloth doesn't stick
The inside of the door, inciuding the gasket, should be washed
with warm water and a mild soap or mild detergent.
Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches
or cleansers containing petroleum products. They can damage the
gasket ahd plastic finish.
Outside.
Wash the outside with warm water and a mild detergent Do not use
abrasive or harsh cleansers. Rinse well and dry
Wax painted metal surfaces at least twice a year with appliance
wax or a good auto paste wax. Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth. Do

The defrost wafer pan is on the left and the condenser is on the

it in piace. Remove the tape and lift the pan over the wire brace in
front of it. Make sure the notched corner is in the rear when you put it
back, and that you push it all the way in. The defrost drain tube
should point into the pan.
Condenser
Coil
Notice the
Notched Corher on the
DefFOst-woter Pan
Clean dust from the condenser with a vacuum cleaner. The con
denser should be cleaned every two or three months
If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you don't slide the
refrigerator out farther than the ice-maker water supply line allows.
Heat is removed from your refrigerator and transferred to the con
denser. From there, the heat is spread into the room. Dust on the
condenser insulates it and reduces the heat leaving it. If the heat
can't get out easily, the refrigerator will have to run longer to keep
food cold
