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.
