CAUTION

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

IMPORTANT

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Grounding type wall receptacle

Power cord with 3-prong grounded plug

Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong.

Proper Disposal of 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”. When disposing of an 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 the utility company or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle for more information on recycling an old refrigerator.

Before disposing of an old refrigerator/ freezer:

• Remove doors.

• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.

• Have refrigerant

removed by a qualied service technician.

IMPORTANT

CFC/HCFC Disposal

Some old refrigerators may have a cooling

system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorouorocarbons or hydrochlorouorocarbons). CFCs

and HCFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to the environment if released to the atmosphere.

If disposing of an old refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualied technician. Intentionally released refrigerant may subject one to

nes and imprisonment under provisions of

environmental legislation.

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 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 the 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.

This Use & Care Guide provides general installation and operating instructions for this model. We recommend using a service or kitchen contracting professional to install the refrigerator. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before

starting the refrigerator, follow these

important rst steps.

6mm

Location

• Choose a place that is near a grounded, non-GFCI, 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

oor that is level and strong enough to

support a fully loaded refrigerator.

• Consider water supply availability for

models equipped with an automatic ice

maker.

Installation

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections:

Sides & Top ⅜ inch (9.5 mm)

Back 1 inch (25.4 mm)

NOTE



If the refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, allow additional space so the door can be opened wider.

Door opening

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

Do Not 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.

CAUTION

INSTALLATION

WRONG

Cabinet Leveling & Refrigerator Door Alignment (if necessary)

Guidelines for nal positioning of refrigerator:

• All four corners of the cabinet must rest

rmly on the oor.

• The front should be slightly elevated to ensure that doors close and seal properly.

• Doors should align with each other and be level.

Most of these conditions can be met by raising or lowering the adjustable anti-tip legs.

To level the cabinet using the anti-tip legs:

1 Slightly open freezer drawer.

2 Lower anti-tip legs until they are both

touching the oor. Use a pair of pliers to

adjust.

To raise unit: turn leg clockwise.

To lower unit: turn leg counterclockwise.

Anti-Tip

Legs

1. Open Custom-Flex Temp drawer to make lower hinge visible.

2. Insert 6mm AllenTM wrench into the shaft of the lower hinge.

To lower unit: turn adjustment screw

clockwise.

To raise unit: turn adjustment screw

counterclockwise.

Raise

Flipper Mullion

Adjust Flipper Mullion for proper connection

with the mullion guide by ensuring the ipper

mullion is folded and perpendicular to the fresh food door. If the mullion guide is not in the correct position, it could prevent the door from closing completely.

3 Ensure both doors are bind-free with their

seals touching the cabinet on all four sides and that cabinet is stable.

To make nal door height adjustments:
