Unpacking Your Refrigerator

WARNiNg
Use two or more people to move and install
y
the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in
back or other injury.
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the
y
refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to
protect the floor. 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. Wind the
leveling feet up first so that the unit is on its
rollers.
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such
y
as gasoline, away from the refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion,
or death.
Remove tape and any temporary labels from your
refrigerator before using. Do not remove any
warning-type labels, the model and serial number
label, or the Tech Sheet that is located under the
front of the refrigerator.
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the
area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue
can also be easily removed by rubbing 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.
Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping
position. Please reinstall shelves according to
your individual storage needs.

Choosing the Proper Location

Select a place where a water supply can
y
be easily connected for the automatic
icemaker.
NOTE
The water pressure must be 20 – 120 psi
or 138 – 827 kPa or 1.4 – 8.4 kgf/cm².
If the refrigerator is installed in an area with
low water pressure (below 20 psi), you can
install a booster pump to compensate for
the low pressure.
The refrigerator should always be
y
plugged into its own individual properly
grounded electrical outlet rated for
240 Volts, 50 Hz, AC only, and fused
at 15 or 20 amperes. This provides the
best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires. It is recommended
that a separate circuit serving only this
appliance be provided.
WARNiNg
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
install the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.
do not install in any outdoor or sheltered
outdoor location or direct sunlight.

Flooring

To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be
leveled and installed on a solidly constructed
floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to
compensate for unevenness of the floor. The
front should be slightly higher than the rear to
aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned
easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the
leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to
the right to lower it. Poorly constructed timber
flooring can cause a limit in door adjustment
and the cabinet to become out of shape. (See
Leveling and door AlIgnment.)
NOTE
Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces,
a platform or weakly supported structure
is not recommended.
