Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or
brain damage.
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous
– even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of
your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help
prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:
■
Take off the doors.
■
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpacking
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Removing packaging materials
■
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap
over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water
and dry.
■
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For
more information, see the “Refrigerator Safety” section.
■
Depending on your model, remove protective film from shelf
trims. Look for the “Peel Off” strip, and use your fingernail to
peel off the film.
When MovingYour Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator
for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor.
Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it.
Do not wiggle or “walk” the refrigerator when trying to move
it, as floor damage could occur.
Location Requirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
IMPORTANT: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven,
radiator, or other heat source, nor in a location where the
temperature will fall below 40°F (5°C)
Allow at least 3 in. (7.5 cm) of air space at the top and on both
sides of the refrigerator and 1 in. (2.5 cm) between the back of
the refrigerator and the wall. If the refrigerator is to be against a
wall, leave extra space on the hinge side so the door can open
wider.
NOTE: This refrigerator may be installed side by side with
another refrigerator or freezer. Allow for a 3 in. (7.5 cm) clearance
at the top and sides and a ¹⁄₄ in. (0.64 cm) clearance between the
appliances.
Cleaning before use
After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of
your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
the “Refrigerator Care” section.
Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection.
Recommended grounding method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet
that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an
extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn the Temperature Control to the off
position as shown and then disconnect the refrigerator from the
electrical source.
When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical
source and reset the Temperature Control to the desired setting.
1. Handle trim
2. Handle screws
3. Door handle
1. Place the handle on the door as shown.
2. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, attach the handle to the door
with the 4 handle screws (provided).
3. Place the trim pieces on the upper and lower handle ends as
shown.
NOTE: Some models have an (optional) gold trim piece that
snaps on the handle ends before placing the end trim pieces.
4. Apply firm pressure with your hand on the face of the trim.
Slide the top trim down and the bottom trim up toward the
handle.
5. To remove the handle, reverse these directions.
Door Closing
NOTE: Keep the 2 bolts that secured the refrigerator in the
shipping case. They are the front leveling legs.
Your refrigerator has 2 adjustable leveling legs. If your refrigerator
seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the
refrigerator's tilt using these instructions.
1. Screw the legs all the way into the bolt holes in the bottom
corners of the refrigerator.
2. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
3. Move the refrigerator into its final position.
4. Adjust the front legs just enough to lift the cabinet up off of
the floor.
NOTE: If your model is equipped with rollers, the front legs
should be lowered enough to lift the rollers off of the floor to
ensure the refrigerator does not roll forward when the door is
opened.
