IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Safety Instructions

• 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 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 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 suocation.

Proper Disposal of Refrigerator or Freezer

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suocation 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”. When disposing of an old refrigerator or freezer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers

We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check with the utility company or visit www.energystar.gov/ recycle for more information on recycling an old refrigerator.

Before disposing of an old refrigerator/ freezer:

• Remove doors.

• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.

• Have refrigerant removed by a qualiﬁed service technician.

IMPORTANT

CFC/HCFC Disposal

Some old refrigerators 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 disposing of an old refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualiﬁed technician. Intentionally released refrigerant may subject one to ﬁnes and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

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 three-prong grounding plug for 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. Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

• 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 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 aected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insucient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under the 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.

Grounding type wall receptacle

Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong.

Installation

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

Sides & Top 3/8 inch (9.5 mm)

Back 1 inch (25.4 mm)

NOTE

If the refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, allow additional space so the door can be opened wider.

Door opening

The refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access to a counter when removing food. For best use of refrigerator drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator should be in a position where both can be fully opened.

CAUTION

Do Not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures inside the refrigerator.

INSTALLATION

WRONG

Cabinet Leveling & Refrigerator Door Alignment (if necessary)

Guidelines for ﬁnal positioning of refrigerator:

• All four corners of the cabinet must rest ﬁrmly on the ﬂoor.

• The front should be slightly elevated to ensure that doors close and seal properly.

• Doors should align with each other and be level.

Most of these conditions can be met by raising or lowering the adjustable anti-tip legs.

To level the cabinet using the anti-tip legs:

1. Slightly open freezer drawer.

2. Lower anti-tip legs until they are both touching the ﬂoor. Use a pair of pliers to adjust.

To raise unit: turn leg clockwise.

To lower unit: turn leg counterclockwise.
