INSTALLING YOUR

REFRIGERATOR

Unpacking Your 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.

Remove shelves from the shipping position (shelves are shipped upside down):

IMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm water when they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small pebble-size pieces. This is normal.

NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

1.Grasp the front of the upper shelf with one hand and use the other hand to remove packing material from the shelf area.

2.Lower the front of the upper shelf until shelf hooks can be removed from the shelf supports and pull the shelf forward.

3.Flip the shelf over and insert the rear shelf hooks into the shelf supports. Tilt the front of shelf up until rear shelf hooks drop into the shelf supports.

4.Lower the front of the shelf and check to make sure that it is securely in position.

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 Interior 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.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

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.

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 in. (1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top.

.5" (1.25 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. The refrigerator can be flush against the back wall if you do not have an ice maker installed.

If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2 in. (5.08 cm) minimum on each side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open.

NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).
