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.

DANGER

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

General Safety

WARNING

Please read all safety instructions before using your new refrigerator.

•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 appliance 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 injury. 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 unit 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 appliances are dangerous. Please take the precautions listed below.

Proper Disposal of Appliance

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 unit.

Before you recycle or dispose of your old appliance:

•Remove the doors.

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

•Have refrigerant and compressor oil removed by a qualified service technician.

4 Safety

Electrical information

WARNING

You must follow these guidelines to ensure that your appliance’s safety mechanisms are operating correctly.

•The unit must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC-only non-GFCI 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.

•Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

•To avoid electrical shock, unplug the unit or switch the breaker that supplies power to the unit to the off position before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb or LED light.

•Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by 10% or

more. Operating the appliance 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 appliance from being turned off accidentally.

IMPORTANT

To disconnect power to the unit, unplug the unit or switch the breaker that supplies power to the unit to the off position.

Grounding type wall receptacle

Do not, under

any circumstances, cut, remove,

or bypass the grounding prong.

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 appliance. Use the unit only as instructed in this Use & Care Guide.

Before starting the appliance, follow these important first steps.

Location

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

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

•The appliance must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough to support a fully loaded unit.

CAUTION

DO NOT install the appliance where the temperature will drop below 40°F (13°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures inside the unit.

DO NOT block the toe grille on the lower front of your appliance. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the proper operation of your unit.

NOTE

If your appliance is placed with the door hinge against a wall, you may have to allow additional space so the door can be opened wider.

Installation

•Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections:

Sides	⅜” (9.5 mm)
Top & Back	1” (25.4 mm)

•Allow for trim kit if it to be installed with the unit.

NOTE

The appliance doors are designed to shut by themselves within a 20-degree opening.
