IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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
• 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.
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.
WARNING
Child Safety
Destroy 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.
Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts, and destroy nishes if they come
in contact with other appliances or furniture.
An empty, discarded refrigerator is a very dangerous attraction to children.
Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in use, even if it is being discarded.
WARNING
Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, 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 refrigerator.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator:
Remove doors.
Leave shelves in place so children may not easily
climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a qualied service technician.
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. Allow the glass shelves to stabilize to room temperature before cleaning. Do not wash in dishwasher.

INSTALLATION
This Use & Care Guide provides general 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 electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
• For the most efcient operation, the refrigerator
should be located where surrounding temperatures will not drop below 10° F (-12° C) or exceed 110° F (43° C). The Freeze Control Feature is designed to automatically maintain the selected interior refrigerator temperature within these boundaries.
Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 2 inch (50 mm) space on the back, 1 inch (20 mm) on the sides, and 12 inches (300 mm) above the refrigerator for adequate circulation.
DOOR REVERSAL INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE
The direction in which your refrigerator doors open (door swing) can be reversed, from left to right or right to left, by moving the door hinges from one side to the other. Reversing the door swing should be performed
by a qualied person.
IMPORTANT
Before you begin, unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet. Remove any food from door shelves.
You should nd a hinge kit packed inside your unit with the
following parts that will be needed to reverse the doors:
Parts included with Hinge Kit (packed inside unit)
NOTE
The exterior walls of the refrigerator 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 refrigerator.
Leveling
The refrigerator must have all bottom corners resting
rmly on solid oor. The oor must be strong enough
to support a fully loaded refrigerator. NOTE: It is very important for your refrigerator to be level in order to function properly. If the refrigerator is not leveled during installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
To Level Your Refrigerator:
After removing all interior and exterior packing materials, crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter’s level to level the refrigerator from front-to-back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left halfway open.
