Open the refrigerator door. 2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws. Push both tabs in toward the center to release the base grille from the refrigerator. Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. 1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. 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. 2. Move the refrigerator into its final location. 3. Turn the leveling legs to the right to lower the refrigerator or turn the leveling legs to the left to raise it. It may take several turns of the leveling legs to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator. NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling legs. This makes it easier to adjust the leveling legs. 4. Open the door again to make sure that it closes as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both front leveling screws to the left. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same amount. A B A A. Tabs B. Screws 3. Remove the base grille. Replace the Base Grille 1. Open the refrigerator door. 2.

REFRIGERATOR USE Normal Sounds Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, such as the flooring and surrounding structures, can make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them. ■ Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance. ■ Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items stored inside the refrigerator. ■ As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator. ■ You may hear water running into the drain pan when the refrigerator is defrosting. ■ You may hear clicking sounds when the refrigerator starts or stops running. 8
