INSTALLING YOUR
REFRIGERATOR
Unpacking Your Refrigerator
Removing packaging materials
■ Remove tape and any labels from your refrigerator before
using (except the model and serial number label).
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 refrigerator. For
more information, see the “Refrigerator Safety” section.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction labels
inside your refrigerator, or the Tech Sheet that is fastened to the
base grille.
Cleaning before use
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions
in the “Caring for Your Refrigerator” section.
Space Requirements
1. Minimum fixed wall position
2. Recommended locations for electrical and water
connections.
3. For full-overlay cabinet doors and a trim kit, the
height of the opening must be 72 ³⁄₄ in. (184.8 cm).
■ If you are installing the refrigerator to fit flush with the front of
the base cabinets, all shoe molding and baseboards must be
removed from the rear of the refrigerator opening.
■ The water hookup and electrical hookup must be placed near
the bottom of the refrigerator.
■ A trim kit is available for those installations where the
refrigerator will not fit flush. See the “Assistance or Service”
section for ordering information.
NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or
other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall
below 55°F (13°C).
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
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.
Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when re-
moving them to avoid impact from dropping.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
