Before Using Your
Refrigerator
It is important to prepare your refrigerator for use. This section tells you how to clean it,
install it, connect it to a power source, and level it. For information on how to attach the
optional ice maker to a water supply, see page 20, or for information on how to reverse the
door swing, see page 25.
Cleaning your refrigerator
Removing packaging materials
Remove tape and any inside labels (except
the model and serial number label) before
using the refrigerator.
To remove any remaining tape or
label glue:
• Rub briskly with thumb.
OR
• Apply liquid hand-dishwashing detergent to
area before removing glue as described
above. Do not use sharp instruments,
rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or
abrasive cleaners. These can damage
the material. See “Important Safety
Instructions” on page 3.
Installing it properly
1. Allow
1
⁄2-inch (1.25 cm) space on each
side and at the top of the refrigerator for
ease of installation.
2. If the hinge side of the refrigerator is to
be against a wall, you might want to
leave extra space so the door can be
opened wider.
3. The refrigerator can be flush against the
back wall.
NOTE: Do not remove any permanent
instruction labels inside your refrigerator.
Do not remove the Tech Sheet fastened
under the refrigerator at the front.
Cleaning it before use
After removing all packaging materials,
clean your refrigerator before
using it, if necessary. See
cleaning instructions on
page 29.
