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 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.
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 qualied 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 efcient 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 qualied 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.
