REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION

WARNING

EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD

Use the assistance of two or more persons to move or

install the refrigerator. Not following these instructions

may cause injury to the back and other parts of the

body.

UNPACKING

Before installing your refrigerator, remove any tape

or temporary stickers. Do not remove any stickers

that feature warnings, the model serial number or the

technical label of the product located on the back of the

refrigerator.

To remove adhesive tape residue, rub it well with your

fingers and a little liquid detergent. Clean with warm

water and let dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable

liquids or abrasive cleaning products to remove the

adhesive tape or glue. These products can damage the

surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see

the section on

“Important Safety Instructions”.

The shelves come already installed in their factory

position. Remove the shelves and replace them

according to your spacing needs.

Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is extremely heavy. Make sure you

protect the floor when moving your refrigerator for

cleaning or servicing. Always pull your refrigerator

straight out when moving it. Do not shift from side

to side or “walk” the refrigerator when attempting to

move it as this can cause damage to the floor.

WARNING

EXPLOSION HAZARD

Keep all flammable materials and vapors (such as

gasoline) away from the refrigerator. Not following

these instructions may cause death, explosion or fire

INSTALLATION

1. Avoid placing the unit near heat sources, direct

sunlight, or humidity.

2. To avoid vibration, the unit should be leveled. If needed,

adjust the leveling screws to compensate for an

unleveled floor. The front should be slightly taller than

the rear to ensure that the doors close properly. The

leveling screws can easily be turned by slightly tilting

the front of the refrigerator, turning the leveling screws

clockwise (

) to raise it and counter-clockwise

(

) to lower it.

3. Install the refrigerator in an area between 55 °F

(13 °C) and 110 °F (43 °C). If the surrounding temperature

is lower or higher than previously mentioned, it can

adversely affect the unit.

CAUTION:

Avoid placing the unit near heat

sources, direct sunlight or humidity.

ONCE INSTALLED

1. Carefully clean your refrigerator and remove and dust

accumulated during shipping.

2. Install accessories such as the ice bin, door racks,

shelves, etc., in their proper places. These are already

packed to prevent any possible damage during

shipping.

3. Leave your refrigerator on for 2 to 3 hours before

storing food inside. Verify that there is a flow of cold air

in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling.

Your refrigerator is now ready for use.

WARNING:

• Take care when working with the hinges, base cover

and stops, etc. You may injure yourself.

• DO not place your hands or any tools in the air vents,

the base cover or in the bottom of the refrigerator. This

may cause injury or electrical shock.

INSTALLATION OF BASE GRILLE
