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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

IMPORTANT

To turn off power to your refrigerator you must unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

IMPORTANT

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.

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.

This Use & Care Guide provides general installation and operating instructions for your model. 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.

CAUTION

INSTALLATION

CAUTION

Read before Installation:

Information in this manual is only for reference. The physical product may differ. Before installation of accessories, disconnect the refrigerator from the power outlet. Before adjusting the leveling legs, precautions should be taken to prevent any personal injury.

Installation

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

Sides & Top ⅜ inch (9.5 mm)

Back 1 inch (25.4 mm)

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.

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.

Door opening

Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access to a counter when removing food. For best use of refrigerator and freezer drawers, the refrigerator should be in a position where both can be fully opened.

WRONG

INSTALLATION

Cabinet Leveling and Door Alignment (if necessary)

Guidelines for nal positioning of your

refrigerator:

• All four corners of the cabinet must rest

rmly on the oor.

• Doors should align with each other and be level.

Most of these conditions can be met by raising or lowering the height adjustment legs on the front of the unit

To level the cabinet, make initial cabinet adjustments by the front adjustment legs:

• To raise: turn adjustment leg clockwise.

• To lower: turn adjustment leg counterclockwise.

• Ensure both doors close freely with their seals touching the cabinet on all four sides and that the cabinet is stable.

Flipper Mullion

Adjust Flipper Mullion for proper connection

with the mullion guide by ensuring the ipper

mullion is folded and perpendicular to the fresh food door. If the mullion guide is not in the correct position, it could prevent the door from closing completely.
