Unpacking Your Fridge

WARNiNg
• Use two or more people to move and install
the fridge. Failure to do so can result in back
or other injury.
• Your fridge is heavy. When moving the fridge
for cleaning or service, be sure to protect
the floor. Always pull the fridge straight
out when moving it. Do not wiggle or walk
the fridge when trying to move it, as floor
damage could occur. Wind the leveling feet
up first so that the unit is on its rollers.
• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such
as gasoline, away from the fridge. Failure to
do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
Remove tape and any temporary labels from your
fridge before using. Do not remove any warning-
type labels, the model and serial number label, or
the Tech Sheet that is located under the front of
the fridge.
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the
area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue
can also be easily removed by rubbing 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 fridge.
Fridge shelves are installed in the shipping
position. Please reinstall shelves according to
your individual storage needs.

Choosing the Proper Location

• The fridge should always be plugged
into its own individual properly grounded
electrical outlet rated for 230 Volts, 50 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.
• After installing the appliance, connect the
power plug into a socket outlet. Before
moving and discarding the appliance,
disconnect the plug from the socket outlet.
WARNiNg
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
install the fridge in a wet or damp area.
do not install in any outdoor or sheltered
outdoor location or direct sunlight.

Flooring

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 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. Poorly constructed timber
flooring can cause a limit in door adjustment
and the cabinet to become out of shape. (See
Leveling and door AlIgnment.)
NOTE
Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces,
a platform or weakly supported structure
is not recommended.
