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. ]:t 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 Fault Interrupter (GF]:) 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 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.

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons

or hydrochlorofluorocarbons). 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 you are throwing away your old refrigerator,

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

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 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.

_%_ Adjustable

perature 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. ....

Guidelines for final positioning of your refrigerator:

All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly

on the floor.

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.

Most of these conditions can be met by

raising or lowering the adjustable front

rollers.

To level the cabinet using the front rollers:

1 Slightly open freezer drawer. Lift the toe grille

and gently pull forward (see illustration).

2 You can raise or lower each door. Use a

3/8inch socket wrench to turn the adjustment screws (one per side).

To raise: turn adjustment screw clockwise. To lower: turn adjustment screw

counterclockwise.

3 Ensure both doors are bind-free with their

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