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.

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.

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.

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

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 electri-

.... clan. Receptacles protected by Ground Fault

Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are NOT RECOM- MENDED. 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 unit 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 electri-

cal shock. If voltage varies by 10% or more, appliance

performance may be affected. Operating the unit with insufficient power can damage the

compressor. 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

Power cord with 3-prong grounded plug

To disconnect power to the unit, unplug the unit or switch the breaker that supplies power

to the unit to the off position.

This Use & Care Guide provides general operating instructions for your model. 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 electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension

cord or an adapter plug.

• ]:f 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.

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.

DO NOT block the kick plate on the lower front of your refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the proper operation

of your refrigerator.

Installation

Installation clearances:

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

plumbing and electrical connections:

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

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

2. Position refrigerator handle end caps over upper and lower pre-installed shoulder bolts

(A) that are fastened into door, ensuring

the holes for the set screws are facing towards the outside of door if a single unit

installation or the freezer door (if installing

the matching freezer).

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 freezer

Kick Plate Removal

To remove the kick plate, use a Phillips head screwdriver and remove the two screws holding

the kick plate to the cabinet. Then pull the kick plate away from the unit.

KickPlate Removal

Leveling

The refrigerator must have all bottom corners

resting firmly on a solid floor.

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

It is VERY IMPORTANT for your refrigerator to be

level in order to function properly. If the refrigerator 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 Refrigerator: While unit is lying on its back, note the location

of the four (4) leg levelers installed at each corner. These leg levelers will be used to level

the refrigerator and to adjust the height. Use a carpenter's level to level the refrigerator 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 Refrigerator / Freezer Pair:

= Level door of first unit using all four levelers

and slide unit into place. Recheck for

levelness and adjust if necessary. Measure 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 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"

wrenchandonescrewwithaPhillipsscrewdriver. Shiftthedoorsuntilparallel,thenretightenthe

screwandboltssecurely.(Seeillustrationbelow.)

Lower Hinge Adjustment for Leveling the Deers of the Matching 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.)

To install the handle dips to the basket:

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.

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

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

1. Place the basket on a firm, flat surface.

2. With the narrow side of the handle clip on

the inside of the basket, snap the handle clip to the recessed area in the basket.
