Unpacking Your Fridge
WARNiNg
Use two or more people to move and install
y
the fridge. Failure to do so can result in back
or other injury.
Your fridge is heavy. When moving the fridge
y
for cleaning or service, be sure to protect
the floor. Always pull the fridge straight
out when moving it. Do not wiggle or walk
the fridge 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 fridge. Failure to
do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
Remove tape and any temporary labels from your
fridge 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 fridge.
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 fridge.
Fridge shelves are installed in the shipping
position. Please reinstall shelves according to
your individual storage needs.
Choosing the Proper Location
The fridge should always be plugged
y
into its own individual properly grounded
electrical outlet rated for 230 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 fridge 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.
