GeneralSafety

, Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids, near this or any

other appliance. Read product labels for warnings regarding flammability and other hazards.

o Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

• Avoid contact with any moving parts of the automatic ice maker.

• Remove all staples from the carton to avoid cut injuries. Staples can also damage finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.

ChildSafety

Packing Materials:

Packing cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch

wrap may become airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.

Destroy or recycle the product's carton, plastic bags, and any other exterior

wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children

Child

Entrapment And Suffocation:

These problems are not limited to the past. Whether

junked, abandoned or temporarily stored (even for a few hours), unattended refrigerators and freezers are

dangerous. Please take the precautions listed below.

ProperDisposalOf RefrigeratorsAnd Freezers

Before you throw away your old refrigerator/freezer:

• Remove the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.

• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.

Safety

ELECTRICALINFORMATION

[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] III [] [] []

The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC-only electric 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. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, service technician or a qualified person 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 outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being turned off

accidentally. Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI) circuit.

Connecting The Water Supply

ABOUT YOUR REFRIGE TOR'SWATER SUPPLY

[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []

The automatic ice & water dispenser on your refrigerator requires a permanent

water supply to function correctly. During installation, you (or a service

professional) establish this water supply by connecting a copper tube from your household water system to a valve at the rear of the refrigerator.

You may have already followed the directions in the Installation Instructions to connect the water supply. This information is repeated here for future reference if you need to relocate your refrigerator.

Whatyou willneed:

• Access to a cold water line with pressure of 30-100 psi.

• Copper tubing with ¼-inch (6.4mm) OD. Length for this tubing is the distance

from the rear of the refrigerator to your household water supply line plus 7 feet (2.1 meters).

• A shut-off valve for the connection between your household water line and the refrigerator supply line.

Do not use a self-piercing shut-off valve.

• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for the water supply connection at the rear of your refrigerator.
