WARNING

For your safety

• Do not store or use gasoline or other ammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product

labels for ammability and other warnings.

• Do not operate the unit in the presence of explosive fumes.

• Remove and discard any spacers used to secure the shelves during shipping. Small objects are a choke hazard to children.

• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts, and also

destroy nishes if they come in contact

with other appliances or furniture.

WARNING

Child Safety

• Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the unit is unpacked. Children should never use these items for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.

• An empty, discarded icebox, refrigerator, or freezer is a very dangerous attraction to children.

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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation 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 appliance, 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. recyclemyoldfridge.com for more information on recycling your old appliance.

Before you throw away your old appliance:

• Remove door.

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

• Have the refrigerant removed by a

qualied technician.

WARNING

Avoid re hazard or electric shock. Do not

use an extension cord or an adapter plug. Do not remove any prong from power cord.

Grounding type wall receptacle

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

WARNING

Electrical Information

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the design of this appliance will operate properly.

• The unit must be plugged into its own dedicated 115-volt, 60-Hz., 15Amp, AC only electrical 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 the local codes and

ordinances. Consult a qualied electrician.

Receptacles protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are NOT RECOMMENDED. 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 appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug rmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

• Unplug the unit before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

• Performance may be affected if voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the unit with insuf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 appliance from being turned off accidentally.

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

• If possible, place the unit out of direct sunlight and away from the range, dishwasher or other heat sources.

• Install the appliance on a oor that is level and strong enough to support the unit fully loaded.

CAUTION

DO NOT install the appliance 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 unit.

DO NOT block the kick plate on the lower front of your appliance. Sufcient air circulation is

essential for the proper operation of your unit.

NOTE



The exterior walls of the appliance may become quite warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30ºF warmer than room temperature can be expected.

Installation

Installation clearances:

• Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections: Sides - 3/8 inch Top and Back - 1 inch

• Allow for trim kit if it is to be installed with the unit.

NOTE



If your unit is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow additional space so the door can be opened wider.

INSTALLATION

Door Handle Mounting Instructions

1. Remove handle from carton and any other protective packaging.

2. Position handle end caps over upper and lower pre-installed shoulder bolts (A) that are fastened into door, ensuring the holes for the set screws are facing towards the outside of door if a single unit installation or the refrigerator door (if installing the matching refrigerator).

3. While holding handle rmly against door, fasten upper and lower Allen set screws (B) with supplied Allen wrench.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to install handle (if installing the matching refrigerator). Ensure the holes for the set screws are facing towards the refrigerator door.

INSTALLATION

Kick Plate Removal

To remove the kick plate, use a Phillips head screwdriver and remove the two screws holding the kick plate to the cabinet. Then pull the kick plate away from the unit.

Kick Plate Removal

Leveling

Rest all bottom corners rmly on a solid oor.

The oor must be strong enough to support a

fully loaded appliance.

It is VERY IMPORTANT for your unit to be level in order to function properly. If the appliance is not leveled during installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.

To Level the Appliance:

While unit is laying on its back, note the location of the 4 leg levelers installed at each corner. These leg levelers will be used to level the unit and to adjust the height. Use a carpenter’s level to level the appliance from front to back and side to side. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left halfway open.

Leveling Instructions for Matching Tall Refrigerator/Freezer Pair:

• Level door of rst unit using all four levelers and slide unit into place. Recheck for levelness and adjust if necessary.

• Measure distance from oor to bottom

of door on rst 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”.

• 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.

Leveling Door with Adjustable Hinge

Use the lower hinge adjustment to ne tune the door height and for nal cabinet spacing.

Use a 7/16” socket or wrench to adjust the screw at the bottom of the lower hinge.

Adjusting Doors for Matching Tall Refrigerator/Freezer Pair

The doors may also be adjusted side to side with the slotted hinge for aligning the doors parallel to each other. Loosen the two bolts with a 3/8” wrench and one screw with a Phillips screwdriver. Shift the doors until parallel, then retighten the screw and bolts securely. (See illustration below.)

Lower Hinge Adjustment for Leveling the Doors of the Matching Tall Refrigerator/ Freezer Pair

To level the doors using the adjustable lower hinge (some models):

1. If the refrigerator door is lower than the freezer door, raise the refrigerator door by turning the adjustment screw clockwise using a 7/16” socket wrench. (See illustration below.)

2. If the freezer door is lower than the refrigerator door, raise the freezer door by turning the adjustment screw clockwise using a 7/16” socket wrench. (See illustration below.)
