recess where the top of the refrigerator is completely
covered, use distance from floor to top of hinge cap to
verify proper clearance.
Transporting Your Refrigerator
• NEVER transport refrigerator on its side. If an
upright position is not possible, lay refrigerator on its
back. Allow refrigerator to sit upright for
approximately 30 minutes before plugging it in to
assure oil returns to the compressor. Plugging the
refrigerator in immediately may cause damage to
internal parts.

ALWAYS truck refrigerator from its side or
back-NEVER from its front.
Protect outside finish of refrigerator during transport

Opening and Closing Your
Fresh Food Doors
Your new refrigerator is uniquely designed with two
fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or closed
independently of one another.
There is a vertically-hinged section on the left fresh
food door. When the left door is closed, the hinged
section automatically forms a seal between the two
doors when both doors are closed.
When the left door is opened, the hinged seal
automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way.
