Proper Disposal of Your Old Freezer or Refrigerator
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned freezers or refrigerators are still
dangerous — even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are
getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow these
instructions to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Freezer or Refrigerator:
■ Take off the doors or lid.
■ Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
■ Do not remove ground prong.
■ Do not use an adapter.
■ Do not use an extension cord.
■ Disconnect power before servicing.
■ Replace all parts and panels before operating.
■ Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
■ Connect to a potable water supply only.
■ Use nonflammable cleaner.
■ Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from refrigerator.
■ Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.
■ Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker
kit ready models only).
■ Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice (on some models).
■ Do not hit the refrigerator glass doors (on some models).
■ This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
■ Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard

Unpacking
Remove 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 “Safety” section.
Clean Before Using
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.
Location Requirements
Ventilation and Clearance
■ Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from refrigerator.
■ Do not cover the refrigerator with items such as blankets,
sheets, tablecloths, etc. This reduces air circulation.
■ Allow at least 1" (2.5 cm) between the back of the refrigerator
and the wall. If the refrigerator is to be next to a fixed wall,
leave extra space on the hinge side so the door can open
wider.
Temperature
Your refrigerator operates most efficiently when located in an area
where the temperature will not fall below 40°F (5°C). Place your
refrigerator in a location where the temperature will not fall below
this recommended temperature.
Upon Moving to Final Location
NOTE: This refrigerator may be installed side by side with
another freezer or refrigerator. Allow for a 1" (2.54 cm) space
behind the refrigerator and a
1
/
4
" (6.4 mm) clearance between
the appliances.
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.
INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
4
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- or 20-amp 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, press and hold TEMP SETTING for
3 seconds to turn off cooling, and then disconnect the refrigerator
from the electrical source.

Refrigerator Leveling and Door Closing
Your refrigerator has two front adjustable legs — one on each
side. The back of the refrigerator rests on two fixed rollers. The
base grille covers the adjustable brake feet and roller assemblies
located at the bottom of the refrigerator below the refrigerator
door. Before making any adjustments, remove the base grille and
move the refrigerator to its final location.
Tools Needed:
1
/
4
" hex driver, Phillips screwdriver
1. Remove the base grille screws. Grasp the grille firmly and
pull it toward you. Open the refrigerator door to access the
brake feet.
NOTE: To allow the refrigerator to roll more easily, raise
the brake feet by turning them counterclockwise. The front
rollers will be touching the floor.
2. Move the refrigerator to its final location.
3. Lower the brake feet, by turning them clockwise, until the
rollers are off the floor and both brake feet are snug against
the floor. This keeps the refrigerator from rolling forward when
opening the refrigerator door.
IMPORTANT: If you need to make further adjustments
involving the brake feet, you must turn both brake feet
the same amount to keep the refrigerator level.
4. Make sure the door closes easily. If you are satisfied
with the door opening and closing, skip the next section.
If, however, the door does not close easily or the door pops
open, adjust the tilt.
To Adjust the Cabinet Tilt:
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator
takes some weight off the brake feet. This makes it easier to
turn them.
■ Open the refrigerator door. Use a
1
/
4
" hex driver to turn both
brake feet clockwise the same amount. This will raise the
front of the refrigerator. It may take several turns to allow the
door to close more easily.
5. Make sure the refrigerator is steady. If the refrigerator seems
unsteady or rolls forward when the door is pulled open,
adjust the brake feet.
To Steady the Refrigerator:
■ Open the refrigerator door. Using a
1
/
4
" hex driver, turn
both brake feet clockwise the same amount until the
brake feet are snug against the floor. Check again. If
not satisfied, continue to adjust the brake feet by half
turns of the screw until the refrigerator does not roll
forward when the door is opened.
6. Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with
the leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille
into place. Reinstall the Phillips screws.
Normal Sounds
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one
didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, like the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds
seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and
what may be making them.
■ Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep
your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize
energy usage. The high-efficiency compressor and fans may
cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You
may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the
compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
■ You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through
the refrigerator compartment. The fan speed may increase as
you open the doors or add warm food.
■ Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items
stored on top of the refrigerator.
■ Water dripping on the defrost heater during a Defrost cycle
may cause a sizzling sound.
■ As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due
to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.
■ Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause
a popping noise.
■ You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.
■ You may hear water running into the drain pan during the
Defrost cycle.
