INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Refrigerator
IMPORTANT: Allow the refrigerator to stand upright for a
minimum of 1 hour after unpacking it and before plugging it into
the electrical outlet. See “Electrical Requirements.” This allows
the refrigerant to settle properly and prevents damage to the
cooling system.
Remove packaging materials
■
Remove and properly dispose of packaging materials.
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap
over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water
and dry.
■
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.”
Clean before use
After you remove and properly dispose of all packaging materials,
clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the
cleaning instructions in “Refrigerator Care.”
Location Requirements
Allow at least 1³⁄₁₆ in. (3 cm) of air space at the back and sides of
the refrigerator and 3¹⁵⁄₁₆ in. (10 cm) of air space at the top of the
refrigerator. If the hinge side is against a wall, leave extra space
sothedoorcanopenwider.
NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or
other heat source, in a location with prolonged exposure to direct
sunlight, nor in a location where the temperature will fall below
55°F (13°C).
Electrical Requirements
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 recommended 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.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator
or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then
disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you
are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source
and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control
depending on the model) to the desired setting.
