General Information  
General Information  
Your refrigerator was packed carefully for  
shipment. Remove and discard all packaging and  
tape. DO NOT remove the model/serial number  
label.  
Clean Before Using  
Electrical Requirements  
After you remove all of the packaging materials,  
clean the inside of your refrigerator before using  
it. See the cleaning instructions in “Use and  
Care Guide.”  
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator,  
allow for a 1/2" (1.25 cm) space on each side and  
at the top. Allow 1/2" (1.3 cm) of space behind  
the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has an ice  
maker, allow extra space at the back for the water  
line connections. When installing your refrigerator  
next to a fixed wall, leave a 2-3/4" (7.0 cm)  
minimum space between the refrigerator and wall  
to allow the door to swing open.  
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 removing them to avoid impact  
from dropping.

Remove the Packaging  
1/2”  
(1.27 cm)  
• 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.  
2-3/4”  
(6.99 cm)  
Before you move your refrigerator to its final  
location, it is important to make sure you have  
the proper electrical connection.  
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 “Refrigerator Safety.”  
• Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.  
Door  
Recommended Grounding Method  
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15- or 20-amp fused,  
grounded electrical supply is required. It is  
recommended that a separate circuit serving only  
your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that  
cannot be turned off by a switch. DO NOT use an  
extension cord.  
Moving Unit  
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, as  
floor damage could occur.  
DO NOT transport the refrigerator on its side. If  
an upright position is not possible, lay the  
refrigerator on its back. Allow refrigerator to sit  
upright for approximately 30 minutes before  
plugging it in to assure oil returns to the  
compressor. Plugging the refrigerator in  
immediately may cause damage to internal  
parts.  
Location Requirements  
Note: Before performing any type of installation,  
cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the  
cooling OFF. Disconnect the refrigerator from the  
electrical source. When you are finished,  
reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source  
and turn cooling on.  
DO NOT install refrigerator near oven, radiator  
or other heat sources. If not possible, shield  
refrigerator material.  
DO NOT install where the temperature falls  
below 55°F (13°C) or rises above 110°F (43°C).  
Malfunctions can occur at these temperatures.  
• Refrigerator is designed for indoor household  
application only.  
• Use an appliance dolly when moving  
refrigerator. ALWAYS truck refrigerator from its  
side or back - NOT from its front.  
• Cover outside finish of refrigerator during  
transport by wrapping cabinet in blankets  
or inserting padding between the refrigerator  
and dolly.  
• Secure refrigerator to dolly firmly with straps or  
bungee cords. Thread straps through handles  
when possible. DO NOT overtighten.  
Overtightening restraints may dent or damage  
outside finish.

3. Align the door so that the bottom of the  
refrigerator door aligns evenly with the top of  
the freezer drawer. Tighten all screws.  
4. Reconnect the wiring plug on top of the left-  
hand side refrigerator door.  
IMPORTANT:  
IMPORTANT:  
• All installations must meet local plumbing code  
requirements.  
DO NOT use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76  
mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and  
clogs more easily.  
Make sure it is a cold water pipe.  
• Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top  
side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will  
help keep water away from the drill and  
normal sediment from collecting in the valve.  
5. Replace the top hinge covers.  
• Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install  
copper tubing only in areas where the household  
temperatures will remain above freezing.  
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you  
need. Measure from the connection on the rear  
of the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft  
(2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4"  
(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper  
tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are  
cut square.
