IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suocation 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 www.
energystar.gov/recycle for more informa-
tion on recycling your old appliance.
Before you throw
away your old unit:
• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in
place so children
may not easily
climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.
WARNING
Follow these guidelines to ensure
safety mechanisms in this appliance will
operate properly.
• Unplug the appliance before cleaning and before replacing the AC LED
light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
Use only a 5-watt or less AC LED
light bulb.
• 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 unit from
being turned o accidentally.
IMPORTANT
Turning the Refrigerator controls to
“OFF” will disable your refrigerator’s
cooling system, but does not disconnect
the power to the light bulb and other
electrical components. To turn o power
to your refrigerator you must unplug the
power cord from the electrical outlet.
Electrical information
• Plug the unit 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. Plug it directly into a
properly grounded 3-prong receptacle. You must install the receptacle 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, an
authorized service technician should
replace it to prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip
the plug firmly, and pull it straight
out from the receptacle to prevent
damaging the power cord.
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.

This Use & Care Guide provides general
operating instructions for your model.
Use the appliance only as instructed in
this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the
unit, follow these important first steps.
IMPORTANT
Cleaning your Refrigerator
Remove tape and glue residue from
surfaces before turning the refrigerator on. Rub a small amount of liquid
dish soap over the adhesive with your
fingers. Rinse with warm water and dry
with a soft cloth.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing
alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive
cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of
your refrigerator.
After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the “CARE AND
CLEANING” section in this manual.
IMPORTANT
Moving your Refrigerator
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving
the refrigerator for cleaning or service,
raise the anti-tip bracket (see “Setting
the Anti-tip Brackets”). Also be sure to
cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always
pull the refrigerator straight out when
moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the
refrigerator when trying to move it as
you could damage the floor.
Location
• Choose a place that is near a grounded 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. If you do not hook up
water to the refrigerator, remember
to turn the ice maker o.
CAUTION
Do not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will drop below 50°F (10°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. Sucient air
circulation is essential for the proper
operation of your refrigerator.
CAUTION
Do not block the lower front of your
refrigerator. Sucient air circulation is
essential for the proper operation of
your refrigerator.
Installation
Installation clearances
• Allow the following clearances for ease
of installation, proper air circulation, and
plumbing and electrical connections:
Sides & Top ⅜"
Back 1"
NOTE
If your refrigerator is placed with the
door hinge side against a wall, you may
have to allow additional space for the
handle so the door can be opened wider.
Guidelines for final positioning of
your refrigerator:
• All 4 corners of the cabinet must rest
firmly on the floor.
• The cabinet should be level at the
front and rear.
• The sides should tilt ¼" (6 mm) from
front to back (to ensure that doors
close and seal properly).
• Doors should align with each other
and be level.

Setting the Anti-tip Brackets
The anti-tip brackets are located on the
lower front corners of the cabinet. Lower
the anti-tip brackets on each side clockwise until they contact the floor. Do not
raise the cabinet.
