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.
. Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
ChildSafety
Destroy 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.
Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts, and
destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.
An empty, discarded ice box, refrigerator or freezer is a very dangerous
attraction to children.
Remove or discard any spacers used to secure the shelves during shipping.
Small objects are a choke hazard to children.
Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in use, even if it is being
discarded.
ProperDisposalOfRefrigeratorsAnd Freezers
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:
• Remove the door(s).
• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.
• Have the refrigerant removed by a qualified technician.
ELECTRICALINFORMATION

Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical rating. The power cord of the
refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection
against shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into its own properly
grounded three-prong receptacle, protected with a 15 amp time delay fuse or
circuit breaker. The power supply circuit must be installed in accordance with
current edition of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and local codes and
ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Receptacles
protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI)
are NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER PLUG.
• If the voltage varies by 10 percent or more, refrigerator
performance may be affected, Operating the refrigerator
with insufficient power can damage the motor, Such
damage is not covered under the warranty, If you
suspect your household voltage is high or low, consult
your power company for testing,

• To prevent the refrigerator from being turned off
accidentally, do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled
by a wall switch or pull cord,
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock,
• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner,
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the
plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
• Turning the control to "OFF" turns off the compressor but does not disconnect
power to the light bulb or other electrical components.

This Owner's Guide provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use
the refrigerator only as instructed in this Owner's Guide. Before starting the
refrigerator, follow these important first steps.

e
Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. DO NOT use an
extension cord or an adapter plug.
For most efficient operation, the refrigerator should be
located where surrounding temperatures will not drop
below 40°F (5°C) or exceed 110°F (43°C).
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and electrical connections:
Sides 3/8 inch
1" (25mm)
Back & Top 1 inch
Do not block the toe grille on the lower front of your
refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the
proper operation of your refrigerator. ')

LEVELING
The refrigerator must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The
floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator. It is VERY
IMPORTANT for your refrigerator to be level in order to function properly. If the
refrigerator is not leveled during installation, the door may be misatigned and not
close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.
