Unpack the Refrigerator

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.

Remove the 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 "Refrigerator Safety."

On some models, shelves, bins, door shelf rails, and other

feature parts may be packaged in the Interior FeaturePak.

Follow the instructions contained in the package for proper

assembly.

Depending on your model, to remove the protective

(transparent) film that is on the nameplate, which is located

on the freezer handle, use your fingernail and peel off the film,

starting from one side and peeling to the other.

There are four bolts that secure the refrigerator to the

shipping case. Keep these bolts because they are the

refrigerator's leveling legs.

Properly dispose of packaging.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the white foam air return insert that

is located behind the control panel on the ceiling of the

refrigerator (on some models). The insert is part of the refrigerator

and not part of the packing material. If the insert is removed, ice

may migrate down from the freezer and cause icicles to form.

When Moving Your 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Clean Before Using

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

your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in

"Refrigerator Care."

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.

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.

Your refrigerator is designed for indoor, household use only.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a

" (1.25 cm) space at the top and behind the refrigerator.

If your refrigerator 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

2 " (5.4 cm) minimum on each side (depending on your

model) to allow for the door to swing open

NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or

other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will

fall below 55°F (13°C).
