FOR YOUR SAFETY

* Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Read product labels for warnings regarding

flammability and other hazards.

* Do not operate the freezer 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.

CHILD SAFETY

Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any
exterior wrapping material immediately after the freezer

to play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic
sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers,
and can quickly cause suffocation.

REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER

Risk of child entrapment

ELECTRICAL iNFORMATiON

* Refer to the seriaJ plate for correct electricaJ

rating. The power cord of the appliance is equipped
with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection

against shock hazards. It must be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. The

power supply circuit must be installed in accordance
with current edition of the National Electrical Code

(NFPA 70) and local codes and ordinances. Consult
a qualified electrician. Receptacles protected by

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFIC) are NOT
RECOMMENDED. Do not use an extension cord

or adapter plug.

* If voltage varies by 10% or more, freezer

performance may be affected. Operating freezer
with insufficient power can damage the motor. Such
damage is not covered under the warranty. If you
suspect your house hold voltage is high or low,
consult your power company for testing.

* To prevent the freezer from being turned off

accidentally, do not plug unit into an outlet controlled
by a wall switch or pull cord.

* Do not pinch, knot, or bend the cord in any manner.
* To defrost freezer, always unplug unit first.

* never unplug the freezer by pulling on the cord.

Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from
the receptacle.

Child entrapment and suffocation
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.

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 qualified service

technician.

LOCATION

• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical
outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter

plug.

• For the most efficient operation, the freezer should be
located where surrounding temperatures will not drop
below 40°F (5°C) or exceed 110°F (43°C).

• Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and electrical connections:

Sides 3/8"
Back & Top 1"

• Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front of your
freezer. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the

proper operation of your freezer.

LEVELING

The freezer must have all bottom corners resting firmly on
a solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support
a fully loaded freezer. NOTE: It is Very Important for
your freezer to be level in order to function properly. If
the freezer is not leveled during installation, the door may
be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing
cooling, frost,

or moisture
problems.

Installation

Leveling Instructions for all Refrigerator/Freezer Pair:

• Remove two leg levelers provided in literature bag.
While unit is lying on its back for wood skid removal,
install both leg levelers in rear of unit.

• 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".

- One full turn of both front leg levelers will raise
door 3/16" and tilt top of door back 7/16".

- One full turn of both rear leg levelers will lower
door 1/32" and tilt top of door forward 7/16".

- One full turn of both side leg levelers will raise
door 3/16" and tilt top of door 3/8".

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.
