CHILD SAFETY

• 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 and discard any spacers used to secure the
shelves during shipping. Small objects are a choke
hazard to children.

even if it is being discarded.

Proper Disposal of Your

Refrigerator/Freezer

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.

BEFORE YOU THROW AW AY YOUR
OLD REFRIGERA TOR/FREEZER:

• Remove doors.

• Leave shelves in place

so children may not
easily climb inside.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
THIS REFRIGERATOR.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read
product labels for flammability and other warnings.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety
mechanisms in the design of this refrigerator will
operate properly.

• Refrigerator must be plugged into its own 1 15 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 shock hazards. It must
be plugged directly into a properly grounded three­prong 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 voltage varies by 10% or more, performance of your
refrigerator may be affected. Operating refrigerator with
insufficient power can damage the compressor.

• To prevent the refrigerator from being turned off
accidentically, do not plug unit into an outlet controlled
by a wall switch or pull cord.

• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the cord in any manner.

OTHER PRECAUTIONS

• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the cord.
Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from
the receptacle.

• To avoid electrical shock, unplug the refrigerator before
cleaning and before replacing a light bulb.

NOTE: Turning the temperature control to OFF turns off the
compressor, but does not disconnect the power to the light
bulb or other electrical components.

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

Avoid fire hazard or

electric shock. Do not use an extension
cord or an adapter plug. Do not remove
any prong from the power cord.

•

Allow space around the unit for good air circulation.

Leave a 3 inch (75 mm) space on all sides of the
refrigerator for adequate circulation.

Installation

NOTE: The exterior walls of the refrigerator may become
quite warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from
the inside. Temperatures as much as 30° F warmer than
room temperature can be expected. For this reason it is
particularly important in hotter climates to allow enough
space for air circulation around 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. NOTE: 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 misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing
cooling, frost, or moisture problems.

FIRST STEPS

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.

INST ALLA TION

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

• For the most efficient operation, the refrigerator should
be located where surrounding temperatures will not drop
below 10° F (-12° C) or exceed 1 10° F (43° C). The
Freeze Control Feature is designed to automatically
maintain the selected interior refrigerator temperature
within these boundaries.

To Level Your Refrigerator:

After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a
carpenter’s level to level the refrigerator from front-to-back.
Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so
that the door closes easily when left halfway open.
