FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable vapors

and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Read product labels for warnings regarding flammability

and other hazards.

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.

• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can
cause severe cuts, and destroy finishes if they

come in contact with other appliances or furniture.
An empty, discarded ice box, refrigerator, or freezer is

a very dangerous attraction to children.
Remove and discard any spacers used to secure the

shelves during shipping. Small objects are a choke
hazard to children.

Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in
use, even if it is being discarded.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR
REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER

Risk of child entrapment

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical

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, refrigerator

performance may be affected. Operating refrigerator
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 refrigerator 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 refrigerator, always unplug unit first.
Never unplug the refrigerator 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 refrigerator
should be located where surrounding temperatures
will not drop below 40°F (5°C) or exceed 1IO°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
refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation is essential for
the proper operation of your refrigerator.

LEVELING

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

or moisture
problems.

To Level
Refrigerator:

After discarding

COOL DOWN PERIOD

• For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for the

the temperature control is
adjustable to provide a range

of temperatures for your

temperature is desired, turn the
temperature control knob toward COLDEST and allow

several hours for temperatures to stabilize between
