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.
Location
•Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
•If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct 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 turn the ice maker off.
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.
