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.

proper disposal by a qualied technician. If
you intentionally release refrigerant, you may
be subject to nes and imprisonment under

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Grounding type wall receptacle
Power cord with
3-prong grounded plug
Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.
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.
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 qualied
service technician.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to ensure
that safety mechanisms in this refrigerator
will operate properly.
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 qualied
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.
• 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 insufcient 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.

CAUTION
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with
warm water when they are cold. Shelves
and covers may break if exposed to sudden
temperature changes or impact, such as
bumping. Tempered glass is designed to
shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces.
This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are
heavy. Use both hands when removing them
to avoid dropping.
Shelf Adjustment
Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to suit
individual needs. Before adjusting the shelves,
remove all food.
To adjust shelves:
1. Remove shelf by raising the back of the
shelf out of side rail, then continue to
remove shelf by pulling forward.
2. To replace shelf, rest side edges on any
pair of shelf rails and carefully push shelf
back into position and engage in the side
rail stop.
Crisper Humidity Controls
The crisper humidity controls, present on the
crisper drawers of some models, allows you to
adjust the humidity within the crisper. This can
extend the life of fresh vegetables that keep
best in high humidity.
Fruits
Crisper Humidity Controls
NOTE
Leafy vegetables keep best when stored
with the Humidity Control set on High
Humidity, or in a drawer without a Humidity Control. This keeps incoming air to a
minimum and maintains maximum moisture
content. Store non-leafy vegetables and
fruits still in their skins at the low humidity
setting.
