INSTALLATION

This Use & Care Manual provides general operating instructions
for your model. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this
Use & Care Manual. Before starting the refrigerator, follow
these important first steps.
LOCATION

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.
CAUTION
Do Not install the refrigerator where the temperature
will drop below 55°F (13°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C).
The compressor will not be able to maintain proper
temperatures inside the refrigerator.
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.
