For your safety

* Do not store or use gasoline or other flam-

mable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product labels

for flammability and other warnings. Do not operate the unit in the presence of

explosive fumes.

. Remove and discard any spacers

used to secure the shelves during shipping. Small objects are a choke

hazard to children.

. Remove all staples from the carton. Staples

can cause severe cuts, and also destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.

Child Safety

• Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exte- rior 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.

toch,dren

• Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in use, even if it is being discarded.

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 instructionsbelow 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

old appliance:

• Remove door. Leave shelves in place so

children may not easily climb inside.

• Have the refrigerant removed by a

qualified technician.

• 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 unit before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical

shock. Performance may be affected if voltage

varies by 10% or more. Operating the unit with insufficient power can damage the

compressor. Such damage is not covered under the warranty.

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 appliance, follow these important

first steps.

Phillips T_

Head or

#2 Square Drive

Head

DO NOT install the appliance 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 unit.

DO NOT block the kick plate on the lower front of your appliance. Sufficient air circulation is

essential for the proper operation of your unit.

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 unit out of direct sunlight and away from the range,

dishwasher or other heat sources. Install the appliance on a floor that is level

and strong enough to support the unit fully

loaded.

The exterior walls of the appliance 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.

Installation 1,,(25ram)

Installation clearances:

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and

plumbing and electrical connections:

................ [

Sides - 3/8 inch Top and Back - 1 inch

. Allow for trim kit if it is to be installed with

the unit.

If your unit is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow additional

space so the door can be opened wider,

outside of door if a single unit installation or the refrigerator door (if installing the

matching refrigerator).

Single Unit Installation

3. While holding handle firmly against door, fasten upper and lower Allen set screws (B)

with supplied Allen wrench.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to install handle (if installing the matching refrigerator). Ensure

the holes for the set screws are facing towards the refrigerator door.

screwdriver and remove the two screws holding the kick plate to the cabinet. Then pull the kick

Leveling

Rest all bottom corners firmly on a solid floor.

The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded appliance.

It is VERY IHPORTANT for your unit to be level

in order to function properly. If the appliance is not leveled during installation, the door may be

misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing

cooling, frost or moisture problems. To Level the Appliance:

While unit is laying on its back, note the location of the 4 leg levelers installed at each corner. These leg levelers will be used to level the unit

and to adjust the height. Use a carpenter's level to level the appliance from front to back and side

to side. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front,

1/2bubble higher, so that the door closes easily

when left halfway open.

Leveling Instructions for Matching Tall Refrigerator/Freezer Pair:

* Level door of first unit using all four levelers

and slide unit into place. Recheck for

levelness and adjust if necessary.

, Pleasure distance from floor to bottom of

door on first unit. Adjust and level second

unit so door height matches.

Leg Level Adjustments:

* One full turn of all four leg levelers will raise

door 5/32".

* Slide second unit into place leaving a

minimum gap of 3/16" between units for

door swing clearance. This last step may require at least one

extraction of the second unit to properly align units in a "built-in" application.

Leveling Door with Adjustable Hinge

Use the lower hinge adjustment to fine tune the door height and for final cabinet spacing. Use a

7/16" socket or wrench to adjust the screw at the bottom of the lower hinge.

Adjusting Doors for Matching Tall Refrigerator/Freezer Pair

The doors may also be adjusted side to side with the slotted hinge for aligning the doors parallel

to each other. Loosen the two bolts with a 3/8" wrench and one screw with a Phillips screwdriver. Shift the doors until parallel, then retighten the

screw and bolts securely. (See illustration below.)

Lower Hinge Adjustment for Leveling the Doors of the Matching Tall Refrigerator/

Freezer Pair

To level the doors using the adjustable lower hinge (some models):

1. If the refrigerator door is lower than the freezer door, raise the refrigerator door by

turning the adjustment screw clockwise using a 7/16" socket wrench. (See

illustration below.)

2. If the freezer door is lower than the refrigerator door, raise the freezer door by

turning the adjustment screw clockwise using a 7/16" socket wrench. (See

illustration below.)

2. Push the shelf grommet onto the wire until it snaps in place.

3. Slide the shelf grommet into the grommet already in the freezer wall until it is flush.

To install the shelf grommet to the shelf:

1. With the wire shelf installed, press the shelf grommet down onto the wire that is

anchored into the freezer wall. Be sure to keep the larger end of the shelf grommet

away from the wall.
