INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. 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.

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. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

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.

Unpack the Refrigerator

Remove the Packaging

■ Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning

the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over

on 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

information, see “Refrigerator Safety.”

■ Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

Location Requirements

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a

(1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for

¹⁄₂"

1" (2.54 cm) space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator

a has

an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave a 2" (5.08 cm) minimum space between the refrigerator and wall to allow the door to swing open.

NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where

temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a

the maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near

heat source, such as an oven or radiator.

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside

your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions

of in

“Refrigerator Care.”
