Unpacking
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Remove Packaging Materials
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 "Safety."
When Moving Your 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 the "Caring For Your Refrigerator" section.
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.
INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Location Requirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Ventilation and Clearance
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
■
away from refrigerator.
Do not cover the refrigerator with items such as blankets,
■
sheets, tablecloths, etc. This reduces air circulation.
Allow at least 1" (25.4 mm) between the back of the
■
refrigerator and the wall. If the refrigerator is to be next to a
fixed wall, leave extra space on the hinge side so the door
can open wider.
Temperature
Your refrigerator operates most efficiently when located in an
area where the temperature will not fall below 40°F (5°C). Place
your refrigerator in a location where the temperature will not fall
below this recommended temperature.
Upon Moving to Final Location
NOTE: This refrigerator may be installed side by side with
another freezer or refrigerator. Allow for a 1" (25.4 mm) space
behind the refrigerator and a 1/4" (6.4 mm) clearance between
the appliances.
