Use and Care Manual

INSTALLATION
Remove the exterior and interior packaging. Use a soft dry cloth to wipe
down the outside of the refrigerator thoroughly. Use a clean cloth
dampened with lukewarm water to wipe down the inside of the refrigerator.
The unit should be located in a well-ventilated area. Avoid placing it near
any source of heat or moisture, or in direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may
affect the finish, and nearby heat sources will cause higher electrical
consumption.
The Refrigerator is designed to be either free-standing or built-in. It has
motorized fans at the back of the unit that direct compressor-generated
heat away from the compressor and through the front of the unit. Keep the
front vents unobstructed. If the unit is built-in, allow minimum clearances of
1/4” at the sides, 1/2” at the back and 1” at the top.
Once the Refrigerator is positioned, the adjustable legs should be turned to
level the appliance. This will reduce vibrations.
Reversing the Door Swing
Tools needed: flathead screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver
IMPORTANT: Before you begin, unplug the ice maker or disconnect power.
To remove the door from hinges:
1. Using a flathead screwdriver, separate the hinge axis from Hinge 1. Set
aside.
2. Open the door about 20°around the axis of Bottom Hinge 2, then lift the
door off Bottom Hinge 2.
ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
• Do not place the unit next to a heating vent, a range or in direct sunlight.
• Keep the door closed as much as possible, especially in hot, humid
weather.
• Cover foods to reduce moisture buildup inside the appliance.
