Child Safety
Destroy or recycle the 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

Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator
or Freezer
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suocation 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Do not, under
any circumstances,

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
qualied service
technician.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorouorocarbons
or hydrochlorouorocarbons). 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 qualied technician. If
you intentionally release refrigerant, you may
be subject to nes and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.
• 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 rmly,
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 aected if the voltage
varies by 10% or more. Operating the
refrigerator with insucient 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
o accidentally.
IMPORTANT
Pressing and holding the On/O button for
three seconds, located on the temperature
control panel (Electronic controls), or
turning the Freezer and Refrigerator controls
to “0” (Mechanical controls) will disable your
refrigerator’s cooling system, but does not
disconnect the power to the LED lighting
and other electrical components. To turn o
power to your refrigerator you must unplug
the power cord from the electrical outlet.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to ensure
that safety mechanisms in this refrigerator
will operate properly.
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 3-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 qualied electrician. Avoid connecting
refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interrupter
(GFI) circuit. Do not use an extension
cord or adapter 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.

INSTALLATION
Raise
Open Door
Door Opening
NOTE
The refrigerator doors are designed to shut
by themselves within a 20 degree opening.
Your refrigerator should be positioned to
allow easy access to a counter or table when
removing food. For best use of drawers and
freezer baskets, the refrigerator should be
in a position where both the refrigerator and
freezer doors can be fully opened.
Guidelines for nal positioning of
your refrigerator:
• All 4 corners of the cabinet must rest rmly
on the oor.
• The cabinet should be level at the front
and rear.
• 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.
All of these conditions can be
met 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 the “Installation” section).
2. Close the doors and use a at-blade
screwdriver or 3/8 inch socket wrench to
raise or lower the front rollers.
3. Ensure both doors are bind-free with their
seals touching the cabinet on all 4 sides.
To level the doors using the adjustable
lower hinge:
NOTE
Some models will not have a set screw. For
those models follow steps 2 through 4.
1. Before leveling either door, remove set
screw that locks door height into position.
(The door cannot be adjusted without set
screw removed).
2. If the refrigerator door is lower than the
freezer door, raise the refrigerator door by
turning the adjustment screw clockwise
using a 7/
3. If the freezer door is lower than the
refrigerator door, raise the freezer door by
