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.
IMPORTANT: Allow the refrigerator to stand upright for a minimum of 2 hours after unpacking it and before plugging it into the electrical outlet. See “Electrical Requirements.” This allows the refrigerant to settle properly and prevents damage to the cooling system.
Remove Packaging Materials
■Remove and properly dispose of packaging materials. Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator. Rub 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.”
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.
Clean Before Use
After you remove and properly dispose of all packaging materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in “Refrigerator Care.”
LocationRequirements
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.
Allow at least 5" (13 cm) of air space on each side of the refrigerator and 3¹⁵⁄₁₆" (10 cm) of air space at the top of the refrigerator. If the hinge side is against a wall, leave extra space so the door can open wider.
NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source, in a location with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, nor in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).

Electrical Requirements
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the refrigerator control to 0 and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control to the desired setting.
