This Owner's Guide provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use
the refrigerator only as instructed in this Owner's Guide. Before starting the
refrigerator, follow these important first steps.

INSTALLATION

• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. DO NOT use an
extension cord or an adapter plug.
• For most efficient operation, the refrigerator should be
located where surrounding temperatures will not drop
below 40ºF (5ºC) or exceed 110ºF (43ºC).
• Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and electrical connections:
Sides 3/8 inch
Back & Top 1 inch
• Do not block the toe grille on the lower front of your
refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the
proper operation of your refrigerator.

The exterior walls of the refrigerator may become quite warm as the compressor works to
transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30ºF warmer than room temperature
can be expected.

DOOR OPENING

If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow
additional space so the door can be opened wider.

LEVELING

The refrigerator must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The
floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator. It is VERY
IMPORTANT for your refrigerator to be level in order to function properly. If the
refrigerator is not leveled during installation, the door may be misaligned and not
close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.
