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.

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

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.

by 10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with
insufficient power can damage the compressor.

controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent
the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.

equipped with an automatic ice maker. If you do
not hook up water to the refrigerator, remember to

turn the ice maker off.

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

so the door can be opened wider.

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"

= Allfour corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on

the floor.

o 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 rollers:

1 Open both doors and remove the toe grille (see

"Toe Grille Installation and Removal" inthe
"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.

To level the doors using the adjustable lower

hinge (some models):

1 Before leveling either door, remove set screw that

locks door height into position. (The door cannot
be adjusted without set screw removed).

2 If the refrigerator door is lower than the freezer

door, raise the refrigerator door by turning the
adjustment screw clockwise using a 7/16inch
wrench. (See illustration.)

3 If the freezer door is lower than the refrigerator

door, raise the freezer door by turning the
adjustment screw clockwise using a 7/t6 inch
wrench. (See illustration.)
