IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 responsible appliance 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:
• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves
in place so children may not easily climb
inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
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, 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.
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 threeprong 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.
•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.
IMPORTANT
Pressing and holding the On/Off button for three seconds, located on the temperature control panel, will disable your refrigerator’s cooling system but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb and other electrical components. To turn off power to your refrigerator you must unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Do not, under
any circumstances, cut, remove,
or bypass the grounding prong.
Power cord with 3-prong grounded plug
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden temperature change.

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.
CAUTION
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.
Installation
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections:
Sides & Top |
⅜ inch (9.5 mm) |
Back |
1 inch (25.4 mm) |
NOTE
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
Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access to a counter when removing food. For best use of refrigerator drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator should be in a position where both can be fully opened.

Guidelines for final positioning of your refrigerator:
•All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on the floor.
•The sides should tilt ¼ inch (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:
