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
your 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

• The unit 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 three-prong grounding plug for
your protection against electrical shock
hazards. It must be plugged directly into
a properly grounded three-prong recep-
tacle. The receptacle must be installed
in accordance with the local codes and
ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician.
Receptacles protected by Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are NOT REC-
OMMENDED. 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 firm-
ly, and pull straight out from the receptacle
to prevent damaging the power cord.
Unplug the unit before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
Performance may be affected if voltage
varies by 10% or more. Operating the
unit with insufficient power can dam-
age the compressor. Such damage is not
covered under the warranty.
Do not plug the unit into an electrical
outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull
cord to prevent the appliance from being

Leveling
Rest all bottom corners firmly on a solid floor.
The floor must be strong enough to support a
fully loaded appliance.
It is VERY IMPORTANT for your unit to be level
in order to function properly. If the appliance
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 Appliance:
While unit is laying on its back, note the location
of the 4 leg levelers installed at each corner.
These leg levelers will be used to level the unit
and to adjust the height. Use a carpenter's level
to level the appliance 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 Tall
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 Hatching Tall
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" wrench and one screw with a
Phillips screwdriver. Shift the doors until
parallel, then retighten the screw and bolts
securely. (See illustration below.)
Lower Hinge Adjustment for Leveling the
Doors of the Hatching Tall 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.)
