First Steps This Owner’s Guide provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use
refrigerator only as instructed in this Owner’s Guide. Before starting refrigerator,
follow these important first steps:
Location
Install refrigerator:
• near a grounded electrical outlet. DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
• out of direct sunlight and away from range, dishwasher, or other heat sources,
if possible.
• on a floor that is level and strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.
• where a water supply is available for automatic ice maker.
Installation
• Do not install refrigerator where temperature will drop below 60°F (15°C), or rise
above 110°F (43°C). Compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures.
• In a recessed installation, allow an extra 1/2 inch (10-15 mm) on each side for
ease of installation.
• If the hinge side of the unit will be placed against a wall, allow a 1-3/4 inch (44
mm) space between wall and refrigerator to permit proper door swing.
Door Opening
For best use of drawers and freezer basket, refrigerator should be in a position where
both the refrigerator and freezer doors can be opened about 135°.
Leveling
• Refrigerator must be leveled with all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor.
Adjust front rollers to level cabinet both front-to-rear and side-to-side. Keep
cabinet as low as possible for stability. Never adjust cabinet rollers so front is lower
than rear.
• To adjust front rollers: Open refrigerator and freezer doors. Remove toe grille
by pulling it straight out. Adjust rollers by turning each roller adjusting bolt with an
adjustable wrench, a socket wrench, or a nutdriver until refrigerator is level and
stable. Rear rollers are not adjustable.
• Check both doors to be sure seals touch cabinet evenly on all four sides.
• If freezer door is higher than refrigerator door, raise right corner and/or lower left
corner until doors align across top of cabinet.
• If refrigerator door is higher than freezer door, raise left corner and/or lower right
corner until doors align across top of cabinet.
• To replace toe grille: Line up tabs with holes, and push grille straight on.
Cleaning
• Wash the inside, all removable parts, and the outside with mild detergent and
warm water. Wipe dry. Do not use harsh cleaners on these surfaces.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments that can scratch appliance
surface, when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape or energy
label can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or touch
glue with sticky side of tape already removed.
• Do Not Remove Serial Plate.
