IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For your Safety
• DO NOT store or use gasoline, or other
ammable liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance. Read product labels
for warnings regarding ammability and
other hazards.
• DO NOT operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
• Avoid contact with any moving parts of automatic ice maker.
• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts, and also
destroy nishes if they come in contact
with other appliances or furniture.
WARNING
Please read all instructions before using this refrigerator.
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.
Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator or 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorouorocarbons or hydrochlorouorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs
are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to the environment if released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old refrigera­tor, make sure the refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualied technician. If
you intentionally release refrigerant, you may
be subject to nes and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.
Electrical information
• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only electrical 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 qualied
electrician. Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by an authorized service technician to prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip the plug rmly,
and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.
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 doors.
• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by
a qualied
service technician.
IMPORTANT
Pressing and holding the On/Off button for three seconds, located on the temperature control panel, will disable your refrigerator’s cooling system 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 electrical outlet.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Power cord with 3-prong grounded plug
Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden temperature change.
• 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 insufcient power can
damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.

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

INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Do Not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will drop below 55°F (13°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. Sufcient air circulation
is essential for the proper operation of your refrigerator.
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 refrigerator. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before
starting the refrigerator, follow these
important rst 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 refrigerator out of direct sunlight and away from the range, dishwasher, or other heat sources.
• The refrigerator must be installed on a
oor that is level and strong enough to
support a fully loaded refrigerator.
• Consider water supply availability for
models equipped with an automatic ice
maker.
Installation
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections:
Sides & Top ⅜ inch (9.5 mm)
Back 1 inch (25.4 mm)
Door opening
Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access to a counter when removing food. For best use of refrigerator drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator should be in a position where both can be fully opened.

3 Ensure both doors are bind-free with their
seals touching the cabinet on all four sides and that cabinet is stable.
4 After unit is leveled, lower anti-tip leg
using a 3/8 inch socket wrench until it
rmly contacts the oor.
5 Install the toe grille by tting into place.
Cabinet Leveling & Refrigerator Door Alignment (if necessary)
Guidelines for nal positioning of your refrigerator:
• All four corners of the cabinet must rest
rmly on the oor.
• The front should be slightly elevated to ensure that doors close and seal properly.
• Doors should align with each other and be level.
Most of these conditions can be met by raising or lowering the adjustable front rollers.
To level the cabinet using the front rollers:
1 Slightly open freezer drawer if the toe grill
is installed. Lift the toe grille and gently pull forward.
2 Make initial cabinet adjustments by using
the front roller height adjusting screws. Use a 3/8 inch socket wrench to turn the adjustment screws (1 per side).

INSTALLING DOOR HANDLES
CAUTION
Wear gloves and safety goggles. Use extreme CAUTION when installing these handles.
NOTE
All set screws should be tightened so the screw is below the surface of the handle. The handles should be drawn tight to freezer and refrigerator doors with no gaps. Opening the opposite door while tightening the Allen screw makes installation easier.
The door handle may loosen over time or if it was installed improperly. If this happens, tighten the set screws on the handles.
