IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
appliances are still dangerous even if they will sit for
“just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old
appliance, please follow the instructions below to help
prevent accidents.
UFFOCATION AND ENTRAPMENT HAZARD
Before You Throw Away Your Old Appliance:
Refrigerant and Foam Disposal:
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not

important for your refrigerator to be level in order to
function properly. If the refrigerator is not leveled during
installation, the door may be misaligned and not close
or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture
problems.

After removing all interior and exterior packaging
materials, use a carpenter’s level to level the refrigerator

 Wash any removable parts of the refrigerator interior,
and exterior with mild detergent and warm water.
Wipe dry. Do not use harsh cleaners on these
surfaces.
 Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments,
which can scratch the appliance surface when
removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape
can be removed with a mixture of warm water and
mild detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky
side of tape already removed. Do not remove the
serial plate.
Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of a dry and
ventilated room, out of direct sunlight and away from
heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator
next to heat-producing appliances such as a range,
oven or dishwasher.
Level the refrigerator so the door close tightly.
Do not ov
ercrowd the refrigerator or block cold air
vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer
and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined
with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling.
