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

We strongly encourage responsibleappliance recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility company or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle for more information on recycling your old refrigerator.

Before you throw away your old

refrigerator/freezer:

children may not easily

climb inside. Have

refrigerant removed by

a qualified service technician.

CFC/HCFC Disposal

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

hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCsand 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,

make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified technician. If

you intentionally release refrigerant, you may

be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

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.

Pressing and holding the On/Off button for three seconds, located on the left side of

prong grounding plug for your protection

against electrical shock hazards. It 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 (GFI) 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.

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.

Installation

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 toe grille on the lower front of your refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation

is essential for the proper operation of your refrigerator.

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

plumbing and electrical connections:

Sides & Top 3/8 inch (9.5 ram)

Back 1 inch (25,4 rnm)
