IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Proper Disposal of Your Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting rid of your old appliance, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility company or visit www. recyclemyoldfridge.com for more information on recycling your old appliance.
Before you throw away your old appliance:
• Remove door/lid.
• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.
• Have the refrigerant 
removed by a 
qualified technician.
WARNING
Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug. Do not remove any prong from power cord.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Do not, under
any circumstances, cut, remove,
or bypass the grounding prong.
Power cord with 3-prong grounded plug
WARNING
Electrical Information
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the design of this appliance will operate properly.
•Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical rating. 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, protected with a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with the local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Receptacles protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are NOT RECOMMENDED. 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 appliance 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 appliance before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
•If voltage varies by 10% or more, appliance performance may be affected. Operating the unit with insufficient power can damage the motor. Such damage is not covered under the warranty. If you suspect your household voltage is high or low, consult your power company for testing.
•To prevent the appliance from being turned off accidentally, do not plug unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.
•Do not pinch, knot, or bend power cord in any manner.
WARNING
Other Precautions
•To defrost appliance, always unplug unit first.
•Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
•Turning the control to OFF turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect power to other electrical components.

FIRST STEPS
This Use & Care Guide provides general operating instructions for your model. Use the unit only
as instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the unit, follow these important first steps.
Location
Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.
For the most efficient operation, the appliance should be located where surrounding temperatures will not exceed 110°F (43°C). Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below will NOT affect operation. Additional compressor heaters are not recommended.
Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 3 inch (75 mm) space on all sides of the unit for adequate circulation.

Installation
NOTE
The exterior walls of the unit 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 appliance.
Leveling
The appliance must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded unit.
NOTE
It is VERY IMPORTANT for your appliance to be level in order to function properly. If the unit is not leveled during installation, the door/ lid may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.
To level Upright Units:
After discarding crating screws, use a carpenter’s level to level the appliance from front to back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left halfway open.
To level Chest Units:
If needed, add metal or wood shims between feet pads and floor.
CAUTION
To allow door to close and seal properly, DO NOT let food packages extend past the front of shelves.
Repositioning the Mid-Level Basket (some models):
1.To remove the support-hanging basket, press upward on underside of front of support to release from shelf rod.
2.Rotate front under the shelf, and then slide support-hanging basket forward to remove from back shelf rod.
3.To remove shelf grommet, slide away from wall, then pull from rod.
4.Repeat steps 1-3 for other side.
5.With the shelf installed, press the 2 shelf grommets down onto the rod that is

FIRST STEPS
anchored into the appliance wall (located in the back only). Be sure to keep the larger end of the shelf grommets away from the wall.
6.Push the shelf grommets onto the shelf rod until firmly seated.
7.Slide the shelf grommets into the wall grommets already in the unit wall until they are flush.
8.Guide the support-hanging basket underneath the shelf, inserting the slotted end of the support onto the rear shelf rod.
9.Rotate the support-hanging basket up to bring the front end over the front shelf rod. Slide forward to locate front of support-hanging basket over front of shelf rod. Push down on support until it snaps into place.
To install the handle clips to the basket:
1.Place the basket on a firm, flat surface.
2.With the narrow side of the handle clip on the inside of the basket, snap the handle clip to the recessed area in the basket.
3.Once the inside surface snaps in place, continue the process by rolling the handle clip slightly outward and pressing down firmly to snap onto the outside surface. If installed incorrectly, the handle clip will not lay flat.
