Child Safety

Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children should NEVER use these items to play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation.

Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator or Freezer

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. 3unked 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.

Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/ Freezers

We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility company or visit www.energystar.gov/recyde for more information on recycling your old refrigerator.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator/ freezer:

• 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 Interrupter (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.

CFClHCFCDisposal

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCsor HCFCs(chlorofluorocarbons

or hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if

released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to the environment if

released to the atmosphere.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,

make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified technician. If

you intentionally release refrigerant, you may

be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

Pressing and holding the On/Off button for three seconds, located on the temperature control panel, will disable your refrigerator's cooling system but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb and other electrical components. To turn off power to your refrigerator you must unplug the power cord

from the electrical outlet.

Do Not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 55 ° F

(13 ° C) or rise above 110° F (43 ° C). The compressor will not be able to maintain

proper temperatures inside the refrigerator. Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front of your refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation

is essential for the proper operation of your

This Use & Care Guide provides general installation and operating instructions for your model. We recommend using a service or kitchen contracting professional to install your refrigerator. Use the refrigerator only as

instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the refrigerator, follow these

important first steps.

Location

Choose a place that is near a grounded, non-GFC]:, electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight and away from the range, dishwasher, or other heat sources.

The refrigerator must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough to support

a fully loaded refrigerator. Consider water supply availability for

models equipped with an automatic ice maker.

Installation

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and

plumbing and electrical connections:

Sides & Top 3/8inch (9.5 mm)

Back 1 inch (25.4 mm)

If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may have to

allow additional space so the door can be

wider.
