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.

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

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