If You Choose to Turn Refrigerator Off Before You Leave:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
� Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day
ahead of time.
� When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm
to the Off (up) position or move the switch to the Off
setting.
3. Depending on the model, turn the refrigerator control to Off or
turn cooling off. See “Control Descriptions” in the Quick Start
Guide.
4. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
5. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
6. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop
them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and
mold from building up.
Moving
When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow
these steps to prepare it for the move.
1. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
� Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day
ahead of time.
� Disconnect the water line from the back of the refrigerator.
� When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm
to the Off (up) position or move the switch to the Off
setting.
2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen food
in dry ice.
3. Empty the ice bin.
4. Depending on the model, turn the refrigerator control to Off or
turn cooling off. See “Control Descriptions” in the Quick Start
Guide.
5. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
6. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
7. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.
8. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so it
rolls more easily, or screw in the leveling legs so they don't
scrape the floor. See “Adjust the Doors” or “Door Removal,
Leveling and Alignment” in the online Feature Guide.
9. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back of
the refrigerator.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to
the Installation Instructions for preparation instructions. Also, if
your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to
reconnect the water supply to the refrigerator.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Refrigerator
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install or uninstall
appliance.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Remove the Packaging
Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials. 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 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.
IMPORTANT:
� For counter-depth models, use 1/2" socket wrench to remove
skids (socket extension is recommended).
� All four leveling legs must contact the floor to support and
stabilize the full weight of the refrigerator.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of
your refrigerator before using it. See the “Cleaning” section in this
manual.
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.
