Section A - Installation

UNCRATING

Uncrating instructions are clearly printed on the shipping carton. Under no
circumstances should a refrigerator be uncrated until these instructions have been
read.
Additional handling and installation information is provided in the "Installation Tips"
affixed to the refrigerator door and in the Owner's Guide, located in one of the
drawers inside the refrigerator. Pay particular attention to the information regarding
hand trucking, leveling and door alignment.

MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER

Model and Serial Numbers are found on the Serial Plate located on the ceiling of
the refrigerator compartment, just behind the compartment light, or on the right side
at the top. (See Figure A1.)
Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 55°F
(13°C), or rise above 110°F (43°C) because the compressor will not be able
to maintain proper temperatures.

AIR CIRCULATION

Proper air circulation must be maintained for efficient refrigerator operation. Refer to
the Owner's Guide for recommended clearances. Install the refrigerator out of
direct sunlight and away from the range, dishwasher, or other heat sources.
Allow an extra 3/8" on the top and sides, and 1" from the back for ease of
installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections. If the
hinge side of the unit is placed against a wall, allow a ½" minimum between hinges
and wall to permit proper door swing.
N OTE
Do not block the toe grille on the lower front of the refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation
is essential for proper operation of the refrigerator.
