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.
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.
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable
materials
and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 1/2"
(1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 1"
(2.54 cm) of space 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 a 2" (5.08 cm) minimum space on the hinge side (some
models require more) to allow the door to swing open.
NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the
temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a 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 a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong 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.
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, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or
Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then
disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you
are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and
reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control
depending on the model) to the desired setting. See "Using the
Controls."
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions
provided with any tools listed
here.
TOOLS NEEDED:
•
Flat-blade screwdriver
•
1/4"Nut driver
•
7/le" and 1/2"Open-end or two
•
1/4"Drill bit
adjustable wrenches
•
Cordless drill
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4"
(6.35 mm) saddle-type
shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing.
Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type
valve complies with
your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type
or ¾e"
(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more
easily.
IMPORTANT:
•
All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
•
Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing
only in areas where the household temperatures will remain
above freezing.
