REFRIGERATOR

INSTALLATION

Unpacking

Removing Packaging Materials

■

Remove tape and glue from your refrigerator before using. 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 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 “Refrigerator Safety” section.

■

On some models, shelves, bins, door shelf rails, and other

feature parts may be packaged in the Interior FeaturePak.

Follow the instructions contained in the package for proper

assembly.

IMPORTANT:

Do not remove the white foam air return insert that

is located behind the control panel on the ceiling of the

refrigerator (on some models). The insert is part of the refrigerator

and not part of the packing material. If the insert is removed, ice

may migrate down from the freezer and cause icicles to form.

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).

important to make sure you have the proper electrical

connection:
