READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING–When using this

appliance, always exercise basic safety
precautions, including the following:

• Use this appliance only for its intended

purposeDVGHVFULEHGLQWKLV2ZQHU·V0DQXDO

• This refrigerator/freezer must be properly

installed 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/freezer.

They could damage the refrigerator/freezer
and seriously injure themselves.

• Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet.
Skin may adhere to these extremely cold
surfaces.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other

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

• Your freezer has an automatic icemaker³
avoid contact with the moving parts of the
ejector mechanism, or with
the heating element located on the bottom
of the icemaker. Do not place fingers or hands
on the automatic icemaking mechanism while
the freezer is plugged in.

• Unplug your refrigerator/freezer

before cleaning and making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that

any servicing be performed by a qualified
individual.

• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb,
the refrigerator/freezer should be unplugged in
order to avoid contact with a live wire filament.

not remove power to the light circuit.

• Do not refreeze frozen foods which have

thawed completely.

DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerator/freezers are still dangerous…even
if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are
getting rid of your old refrigerator/freezer,
please follow the instructions below to help
prevent accidents.

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.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator/
Freezer or Freezer:

• Take off the doors.

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

LIRE ET CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS

AVERTISSEMENT :

Lorsque vous utilisez le réfrigérateur/ congélateur,
observez toujours certaines précautions de base,
notamment :

• N’utilisez l’appareil que pour son usage
prévu, comme décrit dans le présent manuel
de l’utilisateur.

• Installez le réfrigérateur/congélateur

conformément aux directives d’installation
avant de l’utiliser.

• Ne laissez pas les enfants grimper, s’asseoir,
se tenir debout ni se pendre aux clayettes
du réfrigérateur/congélateur. Ils pourraient

endommager le réfrigérateur et se blesser
gravement.

• Une fois le congélateur en marche,

ne touchez pas les surfaces froides
du congélateur, surtout si vous avez
les mains humides ou mouillées : la peau

risque d’adhérer à ces surfaces très froides.

• N’entreposez et n’utilisez pas d’essence

ou autres vapeurs et liquides inflammables
à proximité de cet appareil ou de tout autre
appareil électroménager.

• Le congélateur doté d’une machine

jJODoRQVDXWRPDWLTXH³évitez le contact
avec les pièces mobiles du mécanisme éjecteur
ou avec l’élément chauffant situé à la partie
inférieure de la machine à glaçons. Ne posez
pas les doigts ou les mains sur le mécanisme
de la machine à glaçons pendant que
le congélateur est branché.

• Débranchez votre réfrigérateur/congélateur

avant de le nettoyer et de le réparer.
REMARQUE : Nous vous recommandons

vivement de confier toute réparation
à un technicien qualifié.

• Avant de remplacer une ampoule grillée,
le réfrigérateur/congélateur doit être débranché
afin d’éviter tout contact avec un fil sous
tension. (Une ampoule grillée peut se briser
pendant l’opération). REMARQUE : Lorsque vous
placez
la commande sur «0» (éteint), l’alimentation
électrique de l’ampoule n’est pas coupée.

• Ne faites PAS recongeler des aliments

surgelés qui ont complètement dégelé.

DANGER : RISQUES POUR LES ENFANTS

Les enfants pris au piège ou morts d’asphyxie
sont toujours d’actualité. Les appareils de
réfrigération abandonés sont toujours aussi
dangereux, même si on n’attend que “quelque
jours” pour s’en débarasser. Si vous ne gardez
pas votre ancien appareil, veuillez suivre
les directives ci-dessous afin de prévenir
les accidents.

RÉFRIGÉRANTS

Tous les appareils de réfrigération contiennent
des réfrigérants qui, conformément aux
lois fédérales, doivent être enlevés avant
toute élimination de l’appareil. Si vous vous
débarrassez de vieux appareils de réfrigération,
vérifiez, auprès de la société qui s’occupe
de leur élimination, ce que vous devez faire.

Avant de vous débarasser de votre vieux
appareil de réfrigération :

• Démontez les portes.

• Laissez les clayettes en place afin d’empêcher
les enfants de grimper à l’intérieur.

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.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The refrigerator/freezer should always
be plugged into its own individual electrical
outlet which has a voltage rating that matches
the rating plate.

DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO CONNECT
THE REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER TO A 2-PRONG
OUTLET.

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/freezer 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/freezer away
from the wall, be careful not to roll over or
damage the power cord.

SAVE THESE

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH
THIS APPLIANCE.

LE RÉFRIGÉRATEUR/CONGÉLATEUR
DANS UNE PRISE MURALE À 2 ALVÉOLES.

Cette précaution est recommandée pour garantir
un rendement optimum et éviter une surcharge des
circuits électriques de la résidence,
ce qui pourrait créer un risque d’incendie
par surschauffe des fils.

Ne débranchez jamais l’appareil en tirant
le cordon d’alimentation. Saisissez fermement
la fiche du cordon et tirez droit pour la retirer
de la prise.

Réparez ou remplacez immédiatement tout cordon

A newly-installed refrigerator may take
12–24 hours to begin making ice.

The icemaker will produce seven cubes per

F\FOH³DSSUR[LPDWHO\F\FOHVLQDKRXU

period, depending on freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature, number of
door openings and other use conditions.

If the refrigerator is operated before the water
connection is made to the icemaker, set the
power switch to OFF.

When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch to ON.

Throw away the first full bucket of ice.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep

of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm,

the icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined

together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes

will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
