Important safety instructions

Safety Precautions

Do not attempt to install or operate your unit
until you have read the safety precautions in this
manual. Safety items throughout this manual are
labeled with a Danger, Warning or Caution based
on the risk type.

Definitions

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to

alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey
all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.

Safety

General Safety

= 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.

= 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.

Child Safety
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 should never play with

these items.

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.

Proper Disposal Of Refrigerators/Freezers
We strongly encourage responsible appliance

recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility
company or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle for
more information on recycling your old refrigerator.

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

Emectricaminformation

= 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 LED light 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

Door opening

Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy
access to a counter when removing food. For best
use of drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator
should be in a position where both the refrigerator
and freezer doors can be fully opened.

Guidelines for final positioning of your
refrigerator:

= All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly

on the floor.
The cabinet should be level at the front and

rear.
The sides should tilt 1Ainch (6 mm) from front

to back (to ensure that doors close and seal
properly).

Doors should align with each other and be
level.

All of these conditions can be met by
raising or lowering the adjustable front

rollers.

To level the cabinet using the front rollers:

1 Open both doors and remove the toe grille

(see "Toe Grille Installation and Removal"
in the "installation" section).

2 Close the doors and use a flat-blade

screwdriver or ¾ inch socket wrench to raise
or lower the front rollers.

3 Ensure both doors are bind-free with their

seals touching the cabinet on all four sides.

NOTE: Level the unit with the adjustable rollers
before leveling the doors.

To level the doors using the adjustable lower
hinge (some models):

1 Before leveling either door, remove set screw

that locks door height into position. (The
door cannot be adjusted without set screw
removed).

2 If the refrigerator door is lower than the

freezer door, raise the refrigerator door by
turning the adjustment screw clockwise using
a 7/16inch wrench. (See illustration.)

3 If the freezer door is lower than the

refrigerator door, raise the freezer door by
turning the adjustment screw clockwise using
a 7/16inch wrench. (See illustration.)

screwdriver, 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 1Ainch (6.4ram)
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.

Do not reuse compression fitting or use
