IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Child Safety
•Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the unit is unpacked. Children should never use these items for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.
•An empty, discarded icebox, refrigerator, or freezer 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
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.

WARNING
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.
• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.
• Have the refrigerant removed by a qualified technician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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, 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). Models with the electronic temperature control option can be located where the surrounding temperature drops to 0°F (-18°C). Additional compressor heaters are not recommended. Models with electromechanical temperature control should not be located where the surrounding temperature drops below
40°F (4°C). These models do not have the automatic freeze control option to prevent refrigerated food from freezing. 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.
3” (75 mm) Air Space
3” (75 mm)
3” (75 mm) 3” (75 mm) 
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 may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
