INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpacking

Removing packaging materials

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.

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 the “Refrigerator Safety” section.

Cleaning before use
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside 
of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions 
in the “Refrigerator Care” section.

Location Requirements

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 

¹⁄₂ in. 

(1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top. When installing your 
refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2 in. (5.08 cm) minimum on 
each side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to 
swing open. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra 
space at the back for the water line connections.

NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or 
other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall 
below 55°F (13°C). 

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install 
refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

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 
it, as floor damage could occur.

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 re-
moving them to avoid impact from dropping.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
