Moving the Refrigerator

Be careful when moving the refrigerator away from

the wall. All types of floor coverings can be damaged,

particularly cushioned coverings and those with

embossed surfaces.

Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to position

by pushing it straight in. Moving the refrigerator in a

side direction, or leaning the unit to the corner to pull

or push, may result in damage to the floor covering or

refrigerator.

When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don’t

roll over the power cord or ice maker supply line (on

some models).

Adjust leveling legs and make sure the unit is leveled.

Cleaning the Inside

To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking
