Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: Please Read All Instructions Before Using This Refrigerator.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
• Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product labels for warnings regarding flammability and other
hazards.
• Do not operate the refrigerator in the presense of
explosive fumes.
• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause
severe cuts, and also destroy finishes if they come in
contact with other appliances or furniture.
CHILD SAFETY
Destroy or recycle the 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.
THESE GUIDELINES MUST BE
FOLLOWED TO ENSURE THAT
SAFETY MECHANISMS IN THIS REFRIGERATOR
WILL OPERATE PROPERLY.
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 AWAY YOUR
OLD REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER:
• Remove door.
• Leave shelves in place
• Have refrigerant

removed by a qualified
service technician.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
• 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.
• Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall
switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being
turned off accidentally.
• Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor
(GFI) circuit.
IMPORTANT: Turning the Refrigerator Control to “OFF”
turns off the compressor and prevents your refrigerator
from cooling, but does not disconnect the power to
the light bulb and other electrical components. To turn
off power to your refrigerator you must unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet.

Installation
This Use & Care Manual provides specific operating
instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as
instructed in this Use & Care Manual. 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.
INSTALLATION
Do Not install the refrigerator where
the temperature will drop below 40°F (4.5°C) or rise above
110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain
proper temperatures inside the refrigerator.
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.
Installation Clearances
• Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and electrical connections:
Sides ----------------------- 3/8”
Back & Top ---------------- 1”
LEVELING
All four corners of your refrigerator must rest firmly on a
solid floor. Your refrigerator is equipped with adjustable
leveling feet.
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.
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.
