Remove the Packaging
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."
• 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.
• Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
When Moving "{our Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for
cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with
cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. 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.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging 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.
IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor, household use only.
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 21/2" (6.3 cm) minimum on the hinge side (some
models require more) to allow for 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.
