Important safety instructions Emectrica information
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
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.
* 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.

This Use & Care Guide provides general operating
instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator
only as instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before
starting the refrigerator, follow these important
first steps.
Location
• Choose a place that is near a grounded
electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension
cord or an adapter plug.
If possible, place the refrigerator out of
direct sunlight and away from the range,
dishwasher or other heat sources.
• The refrigerator must be installed on a floor
that is level and strong enough to support a
fully loaded refrigerator.
Consider water supply availability for models
equipped with an automatic ice maker.
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.
installation
Installation clearances
Allow the following clearances for ease
of installation, proper air circulation, and
plumbing and electrical connections:
Sides & Top ¾ inch
Back 1 inch
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 by
gently pulling forward (see illustration).
Instal ion
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.
Raise
To level the doors using the adjustable lower
hinge (some models):
1 If the refrigerator door is lower than the
freezer door, raise the refrigerator door by
turning the adjustment screw clockwise using
a 7/16inch socket wrench. (See illustration.)
2 If the freezer door is lower than the
refrigerator door, raise the freezer door by
turning the adjustment screw clockwise using
a 7/16inch socket wrench. (See illustration.)
3
After leveling, verify door stop contacts lower
hinge and top of door does not contact upper
hinge through full movement of door (from
fully closed to fully open).

Connecting The Water Supply
About your refrigerator's water 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.
3
Unscrew the plastic cap from the water valve
inlet at the rear of your refrigerator. Discard
the cap.
4
Slide the brass compression nut, then the
ferrule (sleeve) onto copper tube.
5
Push the copper tube into water valve inlet as
far as it will go (1Ainch).
6
Slide the ferrule (sleeve) into valve and
finger-tighten the compression nut onto valve.
Tighten another half turn with a wrench. Do
not over-tighten.
7
Secure the copper tube to your refrigerator's
rear panel with a steel clamp and screw (see
illustration).
8
Coil the excess copper tubing (about 2Y2
turns) behind your refrigerator as shown.
Arrange coiled tubing to avoid vibration or
wear against other surfaces.
9
Open water supply shut-off valve and tighten
any connections that leak.
What you will need:
* Access to a cold water line with pressure of
30-1 O0 psi. (Systemsuppliedwithcoldwateronly.)
* Copper tubing with 1Ainch (6.4mm) Outside
Diameter (OD). Length for this tubing is the
distance from the rear of the refrigerator to
your household water supply line plus seven
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.
