INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Refrigerator

Remove the Packaging

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 “Refrigerator Safety.”
Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

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

“Refrigerator Care.”

Location Requirements

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow at least 5"

(13 cm) between the back of the cabinet and the wall. When

installing your refrigerator, leave at least 3" (7.5 cm) clearance on

each side.

Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems

of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous

– even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of

your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help

prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

Take off the door.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily

climb inside.

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

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.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving 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.

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.
