SAFETYPRECAUflONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

NThis reDigerator must be properly installed

and located in accordance with tile Ins 'tallation

Instructions before it is used. Also see the How ToConnect Electricity section.

/;;;Do not attempt to stand on top of the refrigerator:

Doing so may result in bodily injury or damage to the refrigerator.

g_Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang

on the shelves in the refl'igeraton They could damage tile refl'igerator and seriously injure

themselves.

NDo not allow children to play with the refrigerator

or tamper with the controls.

g_Do not touch tile cold surfaces in tile fl'eezer

compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.

@Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

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

g_Keep fingers out of the "pinch point" areas;

clearances between tile doors and between

tile doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are

in the area.

NIn refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid

contact with tile moving parts of tile ejector

mechanism, or with tile heating element that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands

on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

g_Unplug the refl'igerator before cleaning and

making repairs.

NOTE:Westronglyrecommendthat anyservicingbe

N Before replacinga burned-outlight bulb,the

refrigeratorshouldbe unpluggedin order to avoid

contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out

light bulb may break when being replaced.)

NOTE:Turningthe controlto the0positiondoesnot remove

powerto thelightcircuit.

_Do not refl'eeze fl'ozen toods which have thawed

completely.

A DANGER!RISKOFCHILDENTRAPMENT

PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEREFRIGERATOR

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past..Junked or abandoned refrigerators are

still dangerous...even if they will sit tot '_ust 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 YourOld Refrigerator or Freezer:

5;;;_Pake off the doors and discard separately.

%Leave the shelves in place so that children may

not easily climb inside.

% If the refl'igerator has a lock make it unusable.

Refrigerants

_MIrefrigeration products contain refrigerants, which

under federal lawmust be removed prior to product

disposal. Kyou are getting rid of an old refrigeration

product, check with the company handling tile disposal

about what to do.

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.

Howevm; 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 190 volts.

A WARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

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 Mth a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a

standard g-prong (grounding) wall outlet m

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 an ungrounded ,a-all outlet is encountered,

it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded

3-prong wall outlet.

The refrigerator should al,a-ays be plugged into

its own individual

electrical outlet. This

provides the best performance and also

prevents overloading house wiring circuits

which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. Please refer to the rating plate on the

refrigerator fbr the correct voltage, wattage and

frequency. If the product plug does not fit your outlet, the product should be fitted with a new plug.

IMPORTANT:Therefitting of electricplugsandcablesshould bedonebya quafifiedtechnicianor serviceagent.Insome

countriestherefittingofelectricplugsandcablesis only

permittedwhentheworkis completedbya qualified

technician.

If the power supply cord becomes damaged, it must

be replaced by a qualified service agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Al,a-ays 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 a,a-ayfrom the wall,

be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

Mains Lead Replacement

If the mains lead on your refrigerator needs replacing at any time, it must be replaced by a

special lead which is obtainable from your local dealen A charge will be made for the replacement of the mains lead if you have damaged the lead.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.

Howevm; if you must use an adapter, where local codes permit, a temporary¢omlection may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall oudet by use

of a UL-listed adapter available at most local hardv,-are stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper

polarity in the connection of the power cord. When disconnecting the power cord from the

adaptm; always hold the adapter in place with one hand while pulling the power cord plug with the

other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.

If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOTUSE the refrigerator until a proper ground has been

established.

About the automatic icemaker. (onsome models)

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

Automatic Icemaker (onsomemodels)

The icemaker will produce seven cubes per cycle,---approximately 100-130 cubes in a

24-hour period, depending on freezer compamnent temperature, room temperarure,

number of door openings and other use conditions.

There are two types of icemakers: power switch models and feeler arm models.

d_ to 15°F (-9°C). A newly-installed refrigerator

may take 12 to 24 hom_ to begin making ice

Feelerarmmodel cubes.

You will hear a buzzing sound each time the icemaker fills with water

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clean

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the teeler arm,

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

togethen If ice is not used fi'equently, old ice cubes will

become cloudy, raste stale and shrink. On power switch models, the green power light

will blink if ice cubes get stuck in the icemaken

To correct this, set the power switch to 0 (off) and remove the cubes. Set the power swirch to I (on)to resrart the icemaken After the icemaker

has been turned on again, there will be a delay of about 45 minutes before the icemaker

resumes operation.

Cleaning the Inside

TOhelp prevent odors, leave an open box of

baking soda in the fresh food and freezer compartments.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.

If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning

around switches, lights or controls. Use warm water and baking soda solution--

about a 'tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of watm: This both cleans and

neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.

After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer of petroleum .jelly to the door gaskets at

the hinge side. This helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending out of shape.

Condenser

There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal home operating

environments. Howevm, in environments that may be particularly dusty or greasy, the condenser should be cleaned periodically

for efficient refrigerator operation.

To clean the condensm; turn the temperature control dial to 0. Sweep away or vacuum up dust.

For best results, use a brush specially designed for this purpose. It is available at most appliance parts stores.

Light Bulb Replacement (onsomemodels)

A light bulb and socket are located at the top of the flesh food compartment

opposite the temperature control panel.

To replace the bulb, first unplug the refrigerator from its electrical outlet.

Put your hand under the light shield and release the hook at the bulb end of the

shield. (The light shield is on some models.)

Installation Instructions

Kll INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

This w-ater line installation is not w-arranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these

instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive

water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house

plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified

plumber to correct,a-ater hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigeratoE

To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the

water line, make sure tile icemaker power switch is

in the OFF position (on power switch models) or the feeler arm is in the STOP (up) position

(on feeler arm models).

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below fi'eezing.

When using any electrical device (such as a power

drill) during installation, be sure tile device is insulated or wired in a manner to prevent the hazard

of electric shock.

All installations must be in accordance with local

plumbing code requirements.

Installation of the icemaker must be done by a qualified service technician.

WARNING! Connect to potable

water supply only.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

To determine how much copper tubing you need:

Measure the distance from the water valve on the back

of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add

8 feet (244 cm). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing

[about 8 leer (244 cm) coiled into 3 turns of about

10" (25 cm) diameter] to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

• A water supply kit (containing copper tubing, shutoff

valve and fittings listed below) is available at extra cost

from your local distributor:

• A cold drinking water supply. The water pressure must

be between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4-8.1 bar).

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

• Power drill.

• Copper tubing, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the

refrigerator to the w-ater supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square.

Do not use plastic tubing or plastic fittings because the water supply line is under pressure at all times. Certain types of plastic tubing may become brittle with age and crack, resulting in w-ater leakage.

• Two l/4 " outer diameter compression nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves)--to connect the copper tubing to the shutoffvalve and the refrigerator

water valve.

• If your existing water line has a flared fitting at the

end, you will need an adapter (available at plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to the

refrigerator OR you can cut off the flared fitting

with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting.

• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.

The shutoffvalve should have a ,a_ater inlet Mth a

minimum inside diameter of 5/32" at the point of

connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-vype shutoff valves are included in many water supply kits.

Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve

complies with your local plumbing codes.

Installation Instructions

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.

[] SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER

SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.

[] CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a

vertical ,a-ater pipe. When it is necessary m connect

into a horizontal ,a-ater pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than at the bottom,

to avoid drawing offany sediment from tile

,a-ater pipe.

[] DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe, using a sharp

bit. Remove any burrs resulting fi'om drilling the

hole in the pipe.

[] FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.
