IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Child Safety
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the appliance 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 suocation.

• DO NOT store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids, or aerosols within or in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product labels for warnings regarding flammability and other hazards.
• DO NOT operate the unit in the presence of explosive fumes.
• Avoid contact with any moving parts of automatic ice maker.
• 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.
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suocation 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 unit, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appli­ance recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility company or visit
energystar.gov/recycle for more informa-
tion on recycling your old appliance.
Before you throw away your appliance:
• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in this unit will operate properly.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Power cord with 3-prong grounded plug
Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Electrical information
• The appliance 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 3-prong recepta­cle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified elec­trician. Avoid connecting the unit 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 appliance by pull­ing on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent dam­aging the power cord.
• Performance may be aected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Oper­ating the appliance with insucient 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 unit from being turned o accidentally.
IMPORTANT
Turn o power to your appliance you must unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
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.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old unit 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 ap­pliance, 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.

INSTALLATION
Door Opening
NOTE
The doors are designed to shut by themselves within a 20 degree opening.
Position your unit to allow easy access to a counter or table when removing food. For the best use of drawers and freezer baskets, position the appliance where both doors can fully open.
Guidelines for final positioning of your unit:
• Rest all 4 corners of the cabinet firmly on the floor.
• Level the cabinet at the front and rear.
• Tilt the sides ¼" (6 mm) from front to back (to ensure the doors close and seal properly).
• Align the doors with each other and level.
Meet all of these conditions by raising or lowering the adjust­able front rollers.
To level the cabinet using the front rollers:
1. Open both doors and remove the toe grille (see “Toe Grille Installation and Removal” in INSTALLATION).
2. Close the doors and use a wrench to raise (clockwise) or lower (counterclockwise) the front rollers.
3. Ensure both doors are bind-free with their seals touching the cabinet on all 4 sides.

2. If the refrigerator door is lower than the freezer door, raise the refrigera­tor door by turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise using a 7/16" wrench. (See illustration.)
3. If the freezer door is lower than the refrigerator door, raise the freezer door by turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise using a 7/16" wrench. (See illustration.)
