It is important to prepare your refrigerator for use. This section tells 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

described above. Do not use sharp

instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable

fluids or abrasive cleaners. These can

damage the material. See “Important

Safety Instructions” on page 3.

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 19-20.

Plugging it in

Recommended Grounding Method

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

20 ampere fused and properly grounded

electrical supply is required. It is recom-

mended that a separate circuit serving only

this appliance be provided. Use a receptacle

which cannot be turned off with a switch or

pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.

Installing it properly

1. Allow 1.25 cm (% inch) space on each

side and at the top of the refrigerator for

ease of installation.

2. If the refrigerator is to be against a wall,

you might want to leave extra space on

the hinge side closest to the wall so the

door can be opened wider.

3. The refrigerator can be flush against the

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.

1. Remove base grille. (See page 16.)

To raise front, turn screw clockwise.

3. To lower front, turn screw counterclock-

wise.

4. Check with level.

5. Replace base grille. (See page 16.)
