Installation
The refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Installer Instructions that were
taped to the front of the refrigerator.
Be careful when you unpack and install the refrigerator. Immediately dispose of plastic and other
packing materials out of reach of children.
The appliance must be positioned for easy access to a power source.
Use
Close the door carefully when children are around.
Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinets are
necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are nearby.
If you store food improperly, be aware that it may fall and cause injury.
Do not use aerosols near the refrigerator.
Do not store articles on the top of the appliance.
Maintenance
Do not use strong detergents like wax or thinners for cleaning. Clean with a soft cloth.
Wipe foreign objects (such as dust and water) off the prongs of the power plug and contact
areas regularly.
Do not store, disassemble or repair the refrigerator by yourself.
Remove any dust or foreign matter from the power plug pins.
Do not use a wet or damp cloth when cleaning the plug.
If the refrigerator is disconnected from the power supply, you should wait for at least five
minutes before plugging it back in.

ÉßÎÒ×ÒÙ
Use two or more people to move and
install the refrigerator. Failure to do so
can result in back or other injury.
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving
the refrigerator for cleaning or service,
be sure to protect the floor. Always pull
the refrigerator straight out when moving
it. Do not wiggle or walk the refrigerator
when trying to move it, as floor damage
could occur.
Keep flammable materials and vapors,
such as gasoline, away from the
refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in
fire, explosion, or death.
Ú´±±®·²¹
To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be
leveled and installed on a solidly constructed
floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to
compensate for the unevenness of the floor.
The front should be slightly higher than the
rear to aid in door closing. Leveling legs can
be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly.
Turn the leveling legs to the left to raise the
unit or to the right to lower it. (See Leveling
and Door AlIgnment.)
ÒÑÌÛ
Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces,
a platform or weakly supported structure
is not recommended.
The refrigerator should always be plugged
into its own individual properly grounded
electrical outlet rated for 115 Volts, 60 Hz,
AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.
This provides the best performance
and also prevents overloading house
wiring circuits which could cause a fire
hazard from overheated wires. It is
recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.

Install this appliance in an area where the
temperature is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F
(43°C). If the temperature around the appliance
is too low or high, cooling ability may be
adversely affected.

Too small of a distance from adjacent items
may result in lowered freezing capability and
increased electricity consumption charges.

refrigerator to open the doors, and at least
2 inches (5.08 cm) between the back of the
refrigerator and the wall.
