It is important to prepare your refrigerator for use. This section will tell you how to clean it,

connect it to a power source, install it and level it.

Cleaning it

Removing packaging materials

Remove tape and any inside labels (except

the model and serial number label) before

using the refrigerator.

To remove any remaining glue:

l Rub briskly with thumb to make a ball, then

remove.

l Soak area with liquid hand-dishwashing

detergent before removing glue as de-

scribed above. Do not use chart instru-

ments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids or

abrasive cleaners. These can damage the

material. See “Important Safety Instruc-

tions” on page 3.

Plugging it in

Recommended Grounding Method

A 220 or 240 Volt, 50 Hz., AC only 15 or

20 ampere fused and properly grounded

mended that a separate circuit serving only

which cannot be turned off with a switch or

pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.

NOTE: Do not remove any permanent

instruction labels inside your refrigerator. Do

not remove the Tech Sheet fastened under

the refrigerator at the front.

Cleaning it before use

After removing all packaging materials,

clean your refrigerator before using it, if

necessary. See cleaning instructions on

pages 14 and 15.

Installing it properly

Allow 1.25 cm (% inch) space on each

side and at the top of the refrigerator for

ease of installation.

2. If the hinge side of the refrigerator is to be

against a wall, you might want to leave

extra space so the door can be opened

wider.

3. The refrigerator can be flush against the

back wall.

Leveling it

Your refrigerator has 2 front leveling

screws-one on the right and one on the left.

To adjust one or both of these, follow the

directions below.

Remove base grille. (See page 12.)
