Unpacking the Refrigerator
WARNING
 • Use two or more people to move and install the 
refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back 
injury or other injury.
 • The refrigerator is heavy. Protect the oor when 
moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service. 
Always pull the refrigerator straight out when 
moving it. Do not wiggle or walk the refrigerator 
when trying to move it, as oor damage could 
occur.
 • Keep ammable materials and vapors, such as 
gasoline, away from the refrigerator. Failure to 
do so can result in re, explosion, or death.
NOTE
 • Remove tape and any temporary labels from 
your refrigerator before using. Do not remove any 
warning labels, the model and serial number label, 
or the Tech Sheet that is located under the front of 
the refrigerator.
 • To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area 
briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can 
also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount 
of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your 
ngers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
 • Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, 
ammable uids, or abrasive cleaners to remove 
tape or glue. These products can damage the 
surface of your refrigerator.

shelves are installed in the shipping position. 
Reinstall shelves according to your individual 
storage needs.
Choosing the Proper 
Location
Water
Water supply must be easily connected for the 
automatic icemaker.
NOTE
 • The water pressure must be 20 - 120 psi or 138 - 
827 kPa or 1.4 - 8.4 kgf/cm
2
. If the refrigerator is 
installed in an area with low water pressure (below 
20 psi or 138 kPa or 1.4 kgf/cm
2
), you can install a 
booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
Electricity
Use an individual, grounded outlet:115 Volts, 60 Hz, 
AC, 15 Amps minimum.
WARNING
 • Do not overload house wiring and cause a re 
hazard by plugging in multiple appliances in the 
same outlet with the refrigerator.
 • To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install 
the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.
Flooring
To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be 
installed and leveled on a solidly constructed oor. If 
required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate for 
the unevenness of the oor.
NOTE
 • Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a platform 
or weakly supported structure is not recommended.
Ambient Temperature
Install this appliance in an area where the 
temperature is between 55 °F (13 °C) and 110 °F   
(43 °C).
If the temperature around the appliance is too low or 
high, cooling ability may be adversely affected.
