PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR
REFRIGERATOR OR
FREEZER
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned refrigerators or freezers
are still dangerous - even if they will
sit for "just a few days." If you are
getting rid of your old refrigerator or
freezer, please follow the instructions
below to help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigeratorlfreezer:
* Remove doors.
* Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb
inside.
* Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service
technician.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
* The refrigerator must be plugged into its own
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only electrical
outlet. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with
a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against
electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three prong receptacle. The receptacle
must be installed in accordance with local codes and
ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Avoid connecting
refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI) circuit. Do not
use an extension cord or adapter plug.
* If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by an
authorized service technician to prevent any risk.
* Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out
from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.
* Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
* Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by
10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient
power can damage the compressor. Such damage is
not covered under your warranty.
* Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet controlled by a
wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from
being turned off accidentally.

CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
* Copper or stainless steel braided tubing is recommended
for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of
1Ainch plastic is not recommended to be used. Plastic
tubing greatly increases the potential for water leaks, and
the manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage
if plastic tubing is used for supply line.

and Phillips TM screwdriver.
* Access to a household cold water line with water
pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
* A water supply line made of ΒΌ inch (6 mm) OD, copper or
stainless steel tubing. To determine the length of tubing
needed, measure the distance from the ice maker inlet
valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water
pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the
refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).
* A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your
household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing
type shutoff valve.
A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a
copper water supply line to the ice maker inletvalve.

ALLOWING COOLING TiME BEFORE USE
To ensure safe food storage, allow your refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 to 12 hours before placing food inside.
During this cooling period, you do not need to adjust the controls, which are preset at the factory.
SETTING COOLING TEMPERATURES
Your refrigerator comes with a state-of-the-art electronic digital control system. The system's control panel is located at the top of the
fresh food compartment.
The two digital displays on the left half of the control panel indicate the current settings or temperatures of your freezer and fresh
food compartments. The models with a 2-digit temperature display are for reference only, and do not display the current accurate
compartment temperature. Should you desire to see what the current accurate temperature is, place a separate thermometer inside the
freezer or fresh food compartment in the desired location.
9 is _oldest , allow 24 h_s for adj_stme_ts
(Single Digit Display : Features may Vary)
The advanced electronic control system in your refrigerator includes additional display modes that service professionals can use to
rapidly diagnose performance issues:
To adjust the temperature to a higher or lower setting, press the Up
(Cold) or Down (Colder) button closest to the display. The first time
you press the button, the display shows current setting you entered.
Each press of the button after that changes the setting by one.
The display shows your new setting momentarily, and then changes
back to the current temperature.
