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.

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

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

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.

Door Opening
The refrigerator doors are designed to shut
by themselves within 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 roUers:
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 fiat-blade
screwdriver or 3/8 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.
Raise
To level the doors using the adjustable
lower hinge (some models):
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 V16 inch wrench. (See illustration.)
