INSTALLING YOUR
REFRIGERATOR
,, 2nBa "..........
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Removing packaging materials
IMPORTANT: Depending on your model, do not remove
the white Styrofoam insert that is located behind the
control panel on the ceiling of the refrigerator. The insert is
part of the refrigerator and not part of the packing material.
If the insert is removed, ice may migrate down from the
freezer and cause icicles to form.
Remove tape and any temporary labels from your
refrigerator before using. Do not remove any warning
type labels, the model and serial number label, or the
Tech Sheet that is fastened behind the base grille.
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 "Important
Safety Instructions" in the "Refrigerator Safety"
section.
On some models, shelves, bins, door shelf rails, and
other feature parts may be packaged in the Interior
FeaturePak. Follow the instructions contained in the
package for proper assembly.
Depending on your model, to remove the protective
(transparent) film that is on the nameplate, which is
located on the freezer handle, use your fingernail and
peel off the film, starting from one side and peeling to
the other.
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
• To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow
for a .5" (1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top.

If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you
leave some extra space at the back for the water line
connections, The refrigerator can be flush against the
back wall if you do not have an ice maker installed,
• If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall,
leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum on each side (depending
on your model) to allow for the door to swing open.
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).
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refriger-
ator 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.
