erator, do it safely.

l Never allow children to operate, play

with, or crawl inside the refrigerator.

flammable fluids. The fumes can create a

fire hazard or explosion.

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

you might want IO 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.

4. Make sure ice maker water supply has

been connected. Refer to Installation

Instructions.

To obtain the best possible results from your refrigerator, it is important that you operate it

properly. This section tells you how to set the controls, remove and adjust some of the

3. Give the refrigerator time to cool down com-

pletely before adding food. This may take

several hours.

The settings indicated above should be

correct for normal, household refrigerator

usage. The controls are set correctly when

milk or juice is as cold as you like and when

ice cream is firm. If you need to adjust these

settings, see “Changing the control settings”

on page 9.

continuously guards against moisture build-up on

the outside of your refrigerator cabinet. This

control does not have to be set or adjusted.
