PROPER DISPOSAL OFYOUR 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 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 Nz., 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.

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 the fresh food compartment.

The two digital displays on the left half of the control panel indicate the current settings ortemperatures 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 youdesire to see what the current accurate temperature is, place a separate thermometer insidethe freezer or fresh food compartment in the desired location.

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, then changes back to the current temperature.
