Getting Started
• Install and level your refrigerator on a floor that will hold its
weight, plus food weight (approximately 1200 pounds
[540kg]) and in an area suitable for its size and use.
• Do not install a refrigeration unit near a heat source, nor in a
location where the surrounding temperature will fall below
60Þ F (16Þ C).
• Do not allow your refrigerator to be exposed to the weather
or outdoor elements.
• Connect your refrigerator only to the appropriate kind of
electrical outlet, with the correct power supply and
grounding. (Refer to the Electrical Requirements section
of the Installation Instructions.)
• Use the refrigerator only for the uses described in this
manual.
• Properly maintain the refrigerator.
• Be sure the refrigerator is not used by anyone unable to
operate it properly.
DANGER
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.
IMPORTANT:
Now that you have a new refrigerator, it is extremely important
that you dispose of your old appliance in a way that minimizes
the possibility that children will find it. There have been many
cases in years past of children crawling inside junked and
abandoned refigerators and becoming trapped or suffocated.
Contact your municipal waste disposal authority to find out
the best and safest way to dispose of your old refrigerator.
