Setting up your refrigerator
Before using your refrigerator
1 Remove all packing materials, including bottom cushions, foam pads, and
tape inside of your refrigerator. Tear off the protective film on the doors and
the refrigerator body.
2 Wipe the cabinet with a mild detergent and warm water, then wipe dry.
3 Let the refrigerator stand upright for more than two hours before connecting
it to power. Plugging in the refrigerator before this could result in a decrease in
cooling capacity or other damage.
4 Before putting food in your refrigerator, wait about two to three hours after
the thermostat has been set to let the refrigerator cool. In the summer (when
the ambient temperature is high), wait four hours.
Finding a suitable location
• Position the refrigerator away from heat and direct sunlight. For the best
performance, install in an area with an ambient temperature between 50° F
(10° C) and 110° F (43° C).
• To prevent rust and to protect the electrical insulation, do not place the
refrigerator in moist areas.
• Place your refrigerator in a well-ventilated indoor location. Leave at least
11 13/16 in. (30 cm) of space above and at least 3 15/16 in. (10 cm) behind and
beside the refrigerator for heat dissipation.
• Make sure that the floor is flat and strong enough to support the refrigerator
when fully loaded.
• Leave enough space to open the refrigerator’s doors and drawers.
Leveling your refrigerator
• It is very important for the refrigerator to be level. If the refrigerator is not
leveled during installation, the doors may not close or seal properly, causing
cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
