ATTENTION:
Defrosting—Do not use sharp, pointed
objects to remove frost or ice from
surfaces of the freezer compartment.
Doing so could puncture the cooling
coil, causing the unit to lose its ability
to maintain cold temperatures and
voiding the warranty. See the Care and
Cleaning section for instructions on
defrosting the freezer compartment.

Installation Instructions
DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
WARNING!
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described
in this Owner’s Manual.
■ This refrigerator must be
properly installed and located in
accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
■ Do not allow children to climb,
stand or hang on the shelves
in the refrigerator. They could
damage the refrigerator and
seriously injure themselves.
■ Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance.
■ Before replacing a burned-out
light bulb, the refrigerator should
be unplugged in order to avoid
contact with a live wire filament.
(A burned-out light bulb may
break when being replaced.)
■ Keep fingers out of the “pinch
point” areas; clearances between
the doors and cabinet are
necessarily small. Be careful
closing doors when children
are in the area.
■ Unplug the refrigerator before
cleaning and making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend
that any servicing be performed by
a qualified individual.
■ Turning the temperature
control dial to the OFF position
stops cooling but does not shut
off power to the refrigerator.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should be followed, including the following:
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Child entrapment and
suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators are still dangerous…
even if they will sit for “just a few
days.” If you are getting rid of
your old refrigerator, please
follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your
Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
■ Take off the doors.
■ Leave the shelves in place so
that children may not easily
climb inside.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain
refrigerants, which under federal
law must be removed prior to
product disposal. If you are
getting rid of an old refrigeration
product, check with the company
handling the disposal about
what to do.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY
INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary
that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord
having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating
of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety,
this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance
is equipped with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug which
mates with a standard 3-prong
(grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
If you have only a standard
2-prong wall outlet, it is your
personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The refrigerator should always be
plugged into its own individual
electrical outlet which has a
voltage rating that matches the
rating plate.
This provides the best
performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard
from overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator
by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all
power cords that have become
frayed or otherwise damaged.
Do not use a cord that shows
cracks or abrasion damage along
its length or at either end.
When moving the refrigerator
away from the wall, be careful
not to roll over or damage the
power cord.

About the control
on the refrigerator.
Control Settings
The temperature control maintains the temperature in the
refrigerator. Setting the control at COOL is the warmest setting. Setting
the control at COLDEST is the coldest setting. Set the control at COLD.
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the COLD temperature.
If you want a colder or warmer temperature, move the dial one setting
at a time. Moving the control to OFF stops cooling but does not turn
off the power to the refrigerator. Setting the control to one of the
snowflake positions may cause freezing in the refrigerator depending
on the room temperature.
How To Test Temperatures
Use the milk test. Place a container of milk on a shelf and check it
a day later. If the milk is too warm or too cold, adjust the temperature
control.
After changing the control, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the
temperature you have set.
The control will look like one of the above.

short-term storage (a few days at most) of some commerciallyfrozen foods when in contact with the evaporator (cold surface
in compartment.)
Door Shelves
Shelves on the door provide convenient storage for frequently
used items. Some models have doors that are deep enough to
store large bottles.
