A one-half inch (Y2")of air space must be
provided for the top and the back of the

carpet, tile, wood floors, rugs) may make
your opening smaller than anticipated.
Some clearance may be gained by using
the leveling procedure under
How to Level Your Refrigerator
(page 11).
IMPORTANT: If refrigerator is to be
installed into a recess where top of
refrigerator is comp(ete(y covered, use
dimensions from floor to top of hinge
cap to verify proper clearance.
Followthese tips when moving the
refrigerator to final lecation:
NEVER transport refrigerator on its
side. If an upright position is not
possible, lay refrigerator on its back,
Allow refrigerator to sit upright for
approximately 30 minutes prior to

refrigerator from its side or
back-NEVER from its front.
Protect outside finish of refrigerator

ENERGYSAVINGiDEAS
Avoid overcrowding refrigerator
shelves.This reduces effectivity of air
circulation around food and causes
refrigerator to run longer.
:,- Avoid adding too much warm food to
refrigerator at one time.This
overloads compartments and slows
rate of cooling.
Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper,
or paper toweling as shelf liners.This
decreases air flow and causes
refrigerator to run less efficiently.
_--A freezer that is 2_full runs most
efficiently.
:_ Locate refrigerator in coolest part of
room. Avoid areas of direct sunlight,
or near heating ducts, registers, or
other heat producing appliances. If
this is not possible, isolate exterior by
using a section of cabinet or an
added layer of insulation.
Refer to section in Use and Care
Guide on temperature controls for
recommended control settings.
_--Clean door gaskets every three
months according to Use and Care
Guide instructions. This will assure
that door seals properly and
refrigerator runs efficiently.
Taketime to organize items in
refrigerator to reduce time that door
is open.
Be sure your doors are closing
securely by leveling refrigerator as
instructed in your Use and Care
Guide.
:_ Clean condenser coils off as
indicated in the Use and Care Guide
every 3 months. This will increase
energy efficiency and cooling
performance.

Today's refrigerators use foam insulation and are more energy efficient than refrigerators of the past. However,foam insulation is
not as sound absorbent as former insulated models. As a result, certain sounds may be unfamiliar.In time, these sounds will
