PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD
REFRIGERATOR
wWARNING
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or
brain damage.

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 the instructions below 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.

INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
It is important to prepare your refrigerator for use. This
section tells you how to clean it, install it, connect it to a
power source, and level it.
UNPACKING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Removing packaging materials
•
Remove tape and any labels from your refrigerator
before using (except the model and serial number label).
•
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area
briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also
be easily removed by rubbing 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 “Important Safety Instructions” in the “Refrigerator Safety” section.
IMPORTANT:
•
Do not remove any permanent instruction labels inside
your refrigerator.
Cleaning before use
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the
inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning
instructions in the “Caring For Your Refrigerator” section
for more information.
3-inch (7.5 cm) minimum
at top and
1
⁄2 -inch (1.25 cm)
minimum at sides
SPACE REQUIREMENTS
•
Allow 3 inches (7.5 cm) between the overhead
cabinets and the refrigerator top, and allow 1⁄2 inch (1.25
cm) on each side.
• Allow at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) between the refrigerator
condenser coils on the back and the wall.
•
If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall,
leave 2 inches (5.08 cm) minimum on the hinge side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing
open.
wWARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion
or fire.
wWARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
7
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
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 to 20 ampere fused and
properly 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 OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from
the electrical source. When you are finished, connect the
refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the
Temperature Control to the desired setting.
wWARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a 3 prong grounded outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.

DOOR CLOSING AND ALIGNMENT
Door Closing
Your refrigerator has 2 front adjustable rollers - one on the
right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems
unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the
refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:
1. Plug refrigerator power cord into a 3-prong grounded
outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final position.
2. The two leveling screws are part of the front roller
assemblies which are at the base of the refrigerator on
either side.
3. Use a screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn
the leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the
refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower
that side. It may take several turns of the leveling
screws to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws
and rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.
4. Open both doors again and check to make sure that
they close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling
screws to the right. It may take several more turns, and
you should turn both leveling screws the same amount.
Door Alignment
If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can
adjust it using the instructions below:
1. Pry off the top hinge cover.
2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a 5⁄16-inch socket or
wrench.
3. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer
between the doors while you tighten the top hinge
screws.
4. Replace the top hinge cover.
