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 qualified
service technician.

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 qualified 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 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 electrical outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to

prevent the refrigerator from being turned
off accidentally.

Pressing and holding the On/Off button for
three seconds, located on the temperature

control panel (Electronic controls), or turning
the Freezer and Fresh Food controls to

"O" (Mechanical controls) 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 e!ectrica! 0ut!et: .......................................

ThisUse&CareGuideprovidesgeneral
operatinginstructionsforyourmodel.Use
therefrigeratoronlyasinstructedinthis
Use&CareGuide.Beforestartingthe

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.

• Consider water supply availability for
models equipped with an automatic ice
maker. If you do not hook up water to

the refrigerator, remember to turn the ice

maker off.

DoNot 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. 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

and off of lower hinges.

Removing Toe Grille

: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 To level the doors using the adjustable

lower hinge:

The refrigerator doors are designed to shut

by themselveswith!n a 20 degree opening.
Your refrigerator should be positioned to

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

Guidelines for final positioning of
your refrigerator:

= All four corners of the cabinet must rest

firmly on the floor.

• The cabinet should be level at the front
and rear.

• The sides should tilt 1/4inch (6 mm) from

front to back (to ensure that doors close

and seal properly).

• Doors should align with each other and be level.

All of these conditions can be
met by raising or lowering the

adjustable front rollers,

To level the cabinet using the front rollers:

1 Open both doors and remove the toe

grille (see "Toe Grille Installation and
Removal" in the "Installation" section).

2 Close the doors and use a flat-blade

screwdriver or 3/s inch socket wrench to
raise or lower the front rollers.

3 Ensure both doors are bind-free with their

seals touching the cabinet on all four sides.

Some models will not have a set screw. For
those models follow steps 2 through 4.

ii

1 Before leveling either door, remove set

screw that locks door height into position.

(The door cannot be adjusted without set

screw removed).
If the refrigerator door is lower than the

freezer door, raise the refrigerator door by
turning the adjustment screw clockwise

using a 7/i6 inch wrench. (See illustration.)

If the freezer door is lower than the

refrigerator door, raise the freezer door by

turning the adjustment screw clockwise

using a 7/16inch wrench. (See illustration.)

After leveling, verify door stop contacts

lower hinge and top of door does not

contact upper hinge through full movement
of door (from fully closed to fully open).

5 Reinstall set screw, locking the door height.
