WARNING

For your safety

• Do not store or use gasoline or other

ammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity

of this unit or any other appliance. Read

product labels for ammability 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 nishes if they come in contact

with other appliances or furniture.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Child Safety

• Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior 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.

WARNING

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 instructions below 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 your old appliance:

• Remove door.

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

• Have the refrigerant removed by a

qualied technician.

WARNING

Avoid re 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

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

Power cord with 3-prong grounded plug

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

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 qualied electrician. Receptacles

protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are NOT RECOMMENDED. 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 appliance 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 appliance before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

• If voltage varies by 10% or more, appliance performance may be affected. Operating the unit

with insufcient power can damage the motor. 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 controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.

• Do not pinch, knot, or bend power cord in any manner.

WARNING

Other Precautions

• To defrost, always unplug unit rst.

• Turning the control to “OFF” turns off the compressor but does not disconnect power to other electrical components.

FIRST STEPS

3” (75 mm)

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 unit, follow these important

rst steps.

Location

Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.

For the most efcient operation, the appliance

should be located where surrounding temperatures will not exceed 110°F (43°C). Models with the electronic temperature control option can be located where the surrounding temperature drops to 0°F (-18°C). Additional compressor heaters are not recommended. Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 3 inch (75 mm) space on

all sides of the unit for adequate circulation.

3” (75 mm) Air Space

3” (75 mm)

Leveling

The appliance must have all bottom corners

resting rmly on a solid oor. The oor must be

strong enough to support a fully loaded unit.

NOTE



It is very important for your appliance to be level in order to function properly. If the unit is not leveled during installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.

To Level Upright Units:

After discarding crating screws, use a carpenter’s level to level the appliance from front-to-back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes

easily when left halfway open.

CAUTION

To allow door to close and seal properly, DO NOT let food packages extend past the front of shelves.

Repositioning the Mid-Level Basket

(some models):

1. To remove the support-hanging basket, press upward on underside of front of support to release from shelf rod.

2. Rotate front under the shelf, and then slide support-hanging basket forward to remove from back shelf rod.

3. To remove shelf grommet, slide away from wall, then pull from rod.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 for other side.

5. With the shelf installed, press the 2 shelf grommets down onto the rod that is anchored into the appliance wall (located in the back only). Be sure to keep the larger end of the shelf grommets away from the wall.

6. Push the shelf grommets onto the

shelf rod until rmly

seated.

7. Slide the shelf grommets into the wall grommets already in the unit wall until they

are ush.

8. Guide the supporthanging basket underneath the shelf, inserting the slotted end of the support onto the rear shelf rod.
