* Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping

material immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked.
Children should never use these items to play. Cartons

covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or
stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can

quickly cause suffocation.

* Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause

severe cuts, and destroy finishes if they come in
contact with other appliances or furniture.

An empty, discarded ice box, refrigerator, or freezer is a
very dangerous attraction to children.

Remove and discard any spacers used to secure the
shelves during shipping. Small objects are a choke

hazard to children.

Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in use,

even if it is being discarded.

Avoid fire hazard or

Allow space around the unit for good air circulation.

Leave a 3 inch (75 mm) space on all sides of the
refrigerator for adequate circulation.

Installation

NOTE: The exterior walls of the refrigerator may become
quite warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from
the inside. Temperatures as much as 30 ° F warmer than

room temperature can be expected. For this reason it is

particularly important in hotter climates to allow enough
space for air circulation around your refrigerator.

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. NOTE: 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.

This Owner's Guide provides specific operating instructions
for your model. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this
Owner's Guide. Before starting the refrigerator, follow
these important first steps.

iNSTALLATiON

o

Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.

Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

o

For the most efficient operation, the refrigerator should

be located where surrounding temperatures will not drop
below 10° F (-12 ° C) or exceed 110° F (43 ° C). The

Freeze Control Feature is designed to automatically

maintain the selected interior refrigerator temperature
within these boundaries.

To Level Your Refrigerator:
After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a
carpenter's level to level the refrigerator from front-to-back.
Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, 1/2bubble higher, so
that the door closes easily when left halfway open.
