Unpacking Your Refrigerator

WARNING
Use two or more people to move and
y
install the refrigerator. Failure to do so
can result in back or other injury.
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving
y
the 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,
y
such 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

The refrigerator should always be
y
plugged into its own individual properly
grounded electrical outlet rated for
220 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.
