Unpacking INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR Location Requirements 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. Remove Packaging Materials ■■ Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator. Rub 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 "Safety." When Moving Your Refrigerator: Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. 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. Clean Before Using 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. 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. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid 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. Ventilation and Clearance ■■ Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. ■■ Do not cover the refrigerator with items such as blankets, sheets, tablecloths, etc. This reduces air circulation. ■■ Allow at least 1" (25.4 mm) between the back of the refrigerator and the wall. If the refrigerator is to be next to a fixed wall, leave extra space on the hinge side so the door can open wider. Temperature Your refrigerator operates most efficiently when located in an area where the temperature will not fall below 40°F (5°C). Place your refrigerator in a location where the temperature will not fall below this recommended temperature. Upon Moving to Final Location NOTE: This refrigerator may be installed side by side with another freezer or refrigerator. Allow for a 1" (25.4 mm) space behind the refrigerator and a 1/4" (6.4 mm) clearance between the appliances. 3
