REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION
   WARNING
EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD
Use the assistance of two or more persons to move or 
install the refrigerator. Not following these instructions 
may  cause  injury  to the  back  and  other  parts  of  the 
body.
UNPACKING
Before  installing  your  refrigerator,  remove  any  tape 
or  temporary  stickers.  Do  not  remove  any  stickers 
that  feature  warnings,  the  model  serial  number  or  the 
technical label of the product located on the back of the 
refrigerator.
To  remove  adhesive  tape  residue,  rub  it  well  with  your 
fingers  and  a  little  liquid  detergent.  Clean  with  warm 
water and let dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable 
liquids  or  abrasive  cleaning  products  to  remove  the 
adhesive tape or glue. These products can damage the 
surface  of  your  refrigerator.  For  more  information,  see 
the section on “Important Safety Instructions”.
The  shelves  come  already  installed  in  their  factory 
position.  Remove  the  shelves  and  replace  them 
according to your spacing needs.
  Moving Your Refrigerator:
     Your refrigerator is extremely heavy. Make sure you 
     protect the floor when moving your refrigerator for
     cleaning or servicing. Always pull your refrigerator
     straight out when moving it. Do not shift from side
     to side or “walk” the refrigerator when attempting to
     move it as this can cause damage to the floor.
   WARNING
    EXPLOSION HAZARD
Keep  all  flammable  materials  and  vapors  (such  as 
gasoline)  away  from  the  refrigerator.  Not  following 
these instructions may cause death, explosion or fire
INSTALLATION
1. Avoid  placing  the  unit  near  heat  sources,  direct 
sunlight, or humidity.
2. To avoid vibration, the unit should be leveled. If needed, 
adjust  the  leveling  screws  to  compensate  for  an 
unleveled floor. The front should be slightly taller than 
the rear to ensure that the doors close properly. The 
leveling screws can easily be turned by slightly tilting 
the front of the refrigerator, turning the leveling screws 
clockwise ( 
 ) to raise it and counter-clockwise
   ( 
 ) to lower it.
3. Install the refrigerator in an area between 55 °F 
    (13 °C) and 110 °F (43 °C). If the surrounding temperature 
is  lower  or  higher  than  previously  mentioned,  it  can 
adversely affect the unit.
CAUTION:  Avoid  placing  the  unit  near  heat  
sources, direct sunlight or humidity.
ONCE INSTALLED
1. Carefully clean your refrigerator and remove and dust 
accumulated during shipping.
2. Install  accessories  such  as  the  ice  bin,  door  racks, 
shelves, etc., in their proper places. These are already 
packed  to  prevent  any  possible  damage  during 
shipping.
3. Leave  your  refrigerator  on  for  2  to  3  hours  before 
storing food inside. Verify that there is a flow of cold air 
in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling. 
Your refrigerator is now re
ady for use.
  
 WARNING:
ţTake  care  when  working  with  the  hinges,  base  cover 
and stops, etc. You may injure yourself.
ţDO not place your hands or any tools in the air vents, 
the base cover or in the bottom of the refrigerator. This 
may cause injury or electrical shock.
Keep a Proper Distance from Adjacent Objects
Please  keep  the  refrigerator  at  an  adequate  distance 
from other objects. Insufficient spacing can reduce the 
refrigerator’s freezing efficiency  and increase electricity 
consumption.
