Unpacking
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator/freezer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
■ Remove and recycle or discard all packaging materials
except for the foam corner posts, which will be used for
installation.
■ Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the refrigerator or freezer. 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 or
freezer. For more information, see the “Safety” section.
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for
cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with
cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. 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.
Cleaning Before Use
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your refrigerator or freezer before using it. See the cleaning
instructions in the “Caring For Your Refrigerator or Freezer”
section.
Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers
are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid
dropping.
INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER
Location 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.
Ventilation and Clearance
■ Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from unit.
■ Do not cover the unit with items such as blankets, sheets,
tablecloths, etc. This reduces air circulation.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator or freezer, allow
for 1/2" (12.7 mm) space on each side and at the top. When
installing your refrigerator or freezer next to a fixed wall, leave
2" (5.08 cm) minimum on the hinge side (some models require
more) to allow for the door to swing open.
Temperature
■ The refrigerator and freezer are designed to withstand
temperatures between 0°F (-17°C) and 110°F (43°C) and
remain operational.
■ However, the refrigerator is not equipped with a heater. If
using the refrigerator in an area having temperatures that fall
below your refrigerator's internal temperature setting, the
internal temperature of the refrigerator will drop.
■ When external temperatures reach 32°F (0°C) or below,
refrigerator contents may freeze, so monitor food and
beverages frequently for freezing, freshness, and taste when
using the refrigerator in cold locations. If you are storing
contents that are sensitive to freezing, we recommend moving
those contents to an in-home refrigerator before they are
exposed to freezing temperatures.
■ The warmer the room temperature, the longer it will take the
unit to cool to the set point temperature when food is added.
Upon Moving To Final Location
NOTE: This refrigerator or freezer may be installed side by side
with another freezer or refrigerator. Allow for a 1" (2.54 cm) space
behind the refrigerator or freezer and a 1/4" (6.4 mm) clearance
between the appliances.
