NOTE

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.

NOTE

Raise the front of the refrigerator enough so the doors

close freely when opened halfway. The refrigerator

should slope 1/4” to 1/2” from front to back. Then

level the refrigerator from side-to-side.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION

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 is essential for the

proper operation of your refrigerator.

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.

outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an

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
