Unpacking Your Refrigerator

WARNING

Use two or more people to move and

install the refrigerator. Failure to do so

can result in back or other injury.
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.
Keep flammable materials and vapors,

such as gasoline, away from the

refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in

fire, explosion, or death.

Remove tape and any temporary labels from your

refrigerator before using. Do not remove any

warning-type labels, the model and serial number

label, or the Tech Sheet that is located under the

front of the refrigerator.

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the

area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue

can also be easily removed by rubbing 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.

Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping

position. Please reinstall shelves according to

your individual storage needs.

Flooring

To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be

leveled and installed on a solidly constructed

floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to

compensate for unevenness of the floor. The

front should be slightly higher than the rear to

aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned

easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the

leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to

the right to lower it. (See Leveling and door

AlIgnment.)

NOTE

Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces,

a platform or weakly supported structure

is not recommended.

The refrigerator should always be plugged

into its own individual properly grounded

electrical outlet rated for 115 Volts, 60 Hz,

AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.

This provides the best performance

and also prevents overloading house

wiring circuits which could cause a fire

hazard from overheated wires. It is

recommended that a separate circuit

serving only this appliance be provided.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock,

do not install the refrigerator in a wet or

damp area.

NOTE

The water pressure must be between

20 and 120 psi (140 and 830 kPa) on

models without a water filter and

between 40 and120 psi (280 and 830kPa)

on models with a water filter.
