This Use & Care Guide provides general operating
instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only
as instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting
the refrigerator, follow these important first steps.
Location
•
Choose a place that is near a grounded
electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension
cord or an adapter plug.
•
If possible, place the refrigerator out of
direct sunlight and away from the range,
dishwasher or other heat sources.
•
The refrigerator must be installed on a
floor that is level and strong enough to
support a fully loaded refrigerator.
•
Consider water supply availability for
models equipped with an automatic ice
maker. If you do not hook up water to
the refrigerator, remember to turn the ice
maker off.
CAUTION
Do not block the toe grille on the lower front
of your refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation
is essential for the proper operation of your
refrigerator.
