INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

UnpackingYour Refrigerator

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.

Removing Packaging Materials

■Remove tape and any labels from your refrigerator before using (except the model and serial number label).

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. For more information, see “Refrigerator Safety” section.

■On some models, shelves, bins, door shelf rails, and other feature parts may be packaged in the Finishing Touches™ FeaturePak. Follow the instructions contained in the package for proper assembly.

IMPORTANT:

■Depending on your model, do not remove any permanent instruction labels inside your refrigerator, or the Tech Sheet that is fastened behind the base grille.

■Depending on your model, do not remove the white Styrofoam insert that is located behind the control panel on the ceiling of the refrigerator. The insert is part of the refrigerator and not part of the packing material. If the insert is removed, ice may migrate down from the freezer and cause icicles to form.

Space Requirements

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.

■To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a .5” (1.25 cm) space on each side

■Allow 3” (7.5 cm) of space between overhead cabinets and refrigerator top.

■Allow at least 1” (2.5 cm) between back of cabinet and the wall.

3" (7.5 cm)

2" (5.08 cm)

■If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave some extra space at the back for the water line connections.

■If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2” (5 cm) minimum on the hinge side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open.

■Level the refrigerator (See “Door Closing and Alignment”).

NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall below 40° F (5° C).
