WARNING
IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor household
use only.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for
½" (1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for
1" (2.54 cm) of space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator
has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water
line connections. When installing your refrigerator next
to a fixed wall, leave a 2" (5.08 cm) minimum space on the
hinge side (some models require more) to allow the door
to swing open.
NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where
the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a
maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature
range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity
usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C)
and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended that you do not install
the refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.
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. (Plug 1), 220-240 Volt 50 Hz. (Plugs 2 or 3),
or 220-240 Volt 60 Hz. (Plug 4) AC only 10-amp fused and
grounded (earthed) 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 or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning,
or removing a light bulb, turn cooling off or turn the control
(Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending
on the model) to OFF, and then disconnect the refrigerator
from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect
the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn cooling on or
reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control
depending on the model) to the desired setting. See “Using the
Controls” in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care
Guide.
