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
60° F (16° 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

DANGER
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
B for You Throw Away Your Old R frig rator or Fr z r:
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.

secure before placing items on shelf.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle tempered glass
shelves carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or
exposed to sudden temperature change.
Spillproof Sh lv s
Your refrigerator's spillproof shelves are
constructed of polypropylene molded
around the glass and metal rail. This
design means that the shelves are
completely enclosed and liquids can't
seep under the glass. This localizes spills
and makes clean-up easier. Spillproof
shelves also adjust to meet individual
storage needs.
NOTE: Foods and beverages placed on
the uppermost shelf under the air vent may freeze.
Sh lf Adjustm nt
You can adjust the shelves to match the way you use your
refrigerator. To remove the shelves, tilt the shelf up at the front
releasing the hooks from the shelf support, then pull the shelf
straight out.
To replace shelves, guide the rear hooks of the shelf into the
slots in the shelf supports. Then, tilt the shelf up at the front
until the hooks drop into the slots, and lower the front of shelf
to level position.
