First Steps

This Owner’s Guide provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use refrigerator only as instructed in this Owner’s Guide. Before starting refrigerator, follow these important first steps:

Replacing Toe Grille

Location

Install refrigerator:

near a grounded electrical outlet. DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

out of direct sunlight and away from range, dishwasher, or other heat sources, if possible.

on a floor that is level and strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.

where a water supply is available for automatic ice maker.

Installation

Do not install refrigerator where temperature will drop below 60°F (15°C), or rise above 110°F (43°C). Compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures.

In a recessed installation, allow an extra 1/2 inch (10-15 mm) on each side for ease of installation.

If the hinge side of the unit will be placed against a wall, allow a 1-3/4 inch (44 mm) space between wall and refrigerator to permit proper door swing.

Door Opening

For best use of drawers and freezer basket, refrigerator should be in a position where both the refrigerator and freezer doors can be opened about 135°.

Leveling

Refrigerator must be leveled with all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. Adjust front rollers to level cabinet both front-to-rear and side-to-side. Keep cabinet as low as possible for stability. Never adjust cabinet rollers so front is lower than rear.

To adjust front rollers: Open refrigerator and freezer doors. Remove toe grille by pulling it straight out. Adjust rollers by turning each roller adjusting bolt with an adjustable wrench, a socket wrench, or a nutdriver until refrigerator is level and stable. Rear rollers are not adjustable.

Check both doors to be sure seals touch cabinet evenly on all four sides.

If freezer door is higher than refrigerator door, raise right corner and/or lower left corner until doors align across top of cabinet.

If refrigerator door is higher than freezer door, raise left corner and/or lower right corner until doors align across top of cabinet.

To replace toe grille: Line up tabs with holes, and push grille straight on.

Cleaning

Wash the inside, all removable parts, and the outside with mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry. Do not use harsh cleaners on these surfaces.

Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments that can scratch appliance surface, when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape or energy label can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or touch glue with sticky side of tape already removed.

Do Not Remove Serial Plate.
