Installing Your Refrigerator
It is important to prepare your refrigerator for use. This section tells you how to clean it, connect it to a power
source, install it, and level it.
Unpacking your refrigerator
Removing packaging materials
Remove tape and any labels from your refrigerator
before using (except permanent instruction labels
and the model and serial number label).
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the
area briskly with your thumb. Do not use sharp
instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or
abrasive cleaners. These products can damage the
surface of your refrigerator. For more information,
see "Important Safety Instructions" on page 1.
Cleaning before use
After you remove all of the packaging materials,
clean your refrigerator before using it if
needed. See the cleaning instructions
on page 22 for more information.
Electrical requirements
Fire Hazard
Do not use an extension cord.
Doing so 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 ampere fused,
grounded electrical supply is required. It is recom-
mended 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. Refer to the Electrical Requirements and
Grounding Instructions Sheet in your Literature
Package for more details.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation,
cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the
Thermostat to OFF and then disconnect the
refrigerator from the electrical source. When
you are finished connect the refrigerator to the
electrical source and reset the Thermostat to the
desired setting.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded three prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
