FORYOUR 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 refrigerator in the presense 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 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.

PROPER DISPOSAL OFYOUR REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER

Risk of child entrapment Child entrapment and

suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abondoned 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.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only electric 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 three-

prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a

qualified electrician. Do not use an extension cord or

adapter plug.

• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, service technician or a qualified person to prevent any risk.

• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power

cord. Always grip the plug firmly, 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 affected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient power

can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered

under your warranty.

• Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall

switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.

• Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI) circuit.

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.

or 3/8" socket wrench to adjust front rollers. Use

adjustable wrench to adjust eveling screws.

3. Unscrew plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.

4. Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line, as shown.

5. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (1_ inch). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and

finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten.

6. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line to rear panel of refrigerator as shown.

7. Coil excess water supply line (about 2Y2 turns) behind refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so they do not

10. To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (see ice maker front cover for ON!OFF position of arm).

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips TM screwdriver

• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure

between 30 and 100 psi.

• A water supply line made of 1_inch (6.4 mm) OD, copper

tubing. To determine the length of copper tubing needed, you will need to measure the distance from the ice maker

inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water

pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the

refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).

• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type

shutoff valve.

• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting the

water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.
