This Use & Care Guide provides general
operating instructions for your model. Use the
refrigerator only as instructed in this Use &
Care Guide. Before starting the refrigerator,
follow these important first steps.
Location
• Choose a place that is near a grounded
electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension
cord or an adapter plug.
• If possible, place the refrigerator out of
direct sunlight and away from the range,
dishwasher or other heat sources.
• The refrigerator must be installed on a floor
that is level and strong enough to support
a fully loaded refrigerator.
• Consider water supply availability for
models equipped with an automatic ice
maker. If you do not hook up water to
the refrigerator, remember to turn the ice
maker off.
CAUTION
For optimal performance, do not install the
refrigerator where the temperature will drop
below 55°F (13°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C).
The compressor will not be able to maintain
proper temperatures inside the refrigerator.
Do not block the toe grille on the lower front
of your refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation
