IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SA VF THESE INS TR UC 770NS

located on the bottom of the icemaker.

WARNINGmwhe,/.siHg

this appliance, always exercise basic satbty
precautions, including the fl_llowing:
* Use this appliance only for its intended

purpose as described ill this Owner's
Manual.

, This refrigerator 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. They could
damage the reti'igerator and seriously ilkjure

themselves.

Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment when hands axe damp or wet.

Skin may adhere to these extrem ely cold
stu'_hces.

* Do not store or use gasoline or other

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

, In refrigerators with automatic icemakers,

avoid contact with moving pa*_s of the ejector
mechanism, or with the heating element

Do not place fingel_ or hands on the
automatic icemaking mechanism while

the refi'igerator is plugged in.

Keep fingers out of the "pinch point" areas:
clearances between the doors and between

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

in the area.

Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning
and making repairs. NOTE: We strongly

recommend that any servicing be perflwmed
by a qualified individual.

" Before replacing a burned-out light bulb,

the refl'igerator should be unplugged in
order to avoid contact with a live wire

filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break
when being replaced.) NOTE: Turning
control to OFF does not remove power to
the light circuit.

* Do not refreeze frozen foods which have

thawed completely.

, Always clean the CuslomCooU MTray after

thawing food.

DANGEtL" t SK OF CHILD I 2NTRAPMI 2NT

Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past.,]unked or abandoned
refl'igerators are still dangerous...even if they
will sit tbr 'ijust a few clays." If you are getting
rid of your (lid refl'igeratot; })lease fl)llow the
instructions below to help prevent accidents.

CFC DISPOSAL

Yore" old refl'igerator may have a cooling
svsteln that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons).
CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone.

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.

If wm are throwing away your old refl'igeratm;
make sure the CFC refl'igerant is removed for
proper disposal bv a qualified servicer. If wm
intentionally release this CFC refl'igerant you
can be subject to fines and imprisomnent
under provisions of enviromnental legislation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

HOW TO CONNECT EI 2CTPdCITY

Do not, under any circmnstaJaees, cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the

power cord. For personal safety, this appliance
must be properly grounded,

Tile 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 fl'om this appliance.

Have tile wall outlet and circuit checked bv

a qualified electrician to make sure tile outlet

is properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is

encountered, it is your personal _esponsibility

and obligation to have it replaced with a

properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Tile refl'igerator should alwa_s be plugged into

its own individual electrical outlet which has

a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

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

HoweveL if you must use an adapteL where
local codes permit, a temporary connection

mav be made to a proped v grounded 2-prong

wall outlet by use of a UIAisted adapter

available at most local hardware stores.

Tile larger slot ill tile adapter must be
aligned with the larger slot ill the wall outlet

to pro\ ide proper polarity in tile connection
of tile power cord.

When disconnecting tile power cord fl'om tile

adaptex; always hold tile adapter in place with
one hand while pulling tile power cord plug

with the other band. If this is not done, the

adapter ground terminal is very likely to break

with repeated use.

This provides tile best perflmnance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits

which could cause a fire hazard fl'om

overheated wires.

Never unplug your refl'igerator by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and

pull straight out fl'om the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords
that have become fi'aved or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks
or abrasion damage along its length or at

either end.

When moving tile refl'igerator away fl'om tile
wall, be carehd not to roll ()vet" or damage tile
power cord.

If tile adapter ground terminal breaks,
DO NOT USE tile appliance until a proper
ground has been established.

Attaching tile adapter ground terminal to
a wall outlet cover screw does not ground tile

appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and
not insulated, and tile wall outlet is grounded
through tile house wiring. YOu should have the
circuit checked bv a qualified electrician to

make sure tile outlet is properly grounded.

Use of an adapter plug will increase tile

clearance needed for the back of the
appliance.

USE OF EXT?2NSION CORDS

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

HoweveI; if VOtl IlltlSt rise an extellsion cord,
it is absolutely necessary that it be a UIAisted,
3-wire grounding tvpe appliance extension
cord having a grounding type plug and outlet
and that tile electrical rating of tile cord be

15 amperes (ininimum) and 120 volts.

Automatic

icemaher

A newly-in,stalled _zffiigerator may take 12 to 24 hom:s to begin making ice.

The icemaker will produce seven cubes

per cycle--approximately 100-130 cubes

in a 24-hour period, depending on fl'eezer

compartment temperatm'e, room temperature,

nulnber oI door openings and other use

conditions.

If the refligerator is operated befl)re the water

connection is made to the icemaker, set the

power switch in the 0 (off) position.

When the refrigerator has been comlected

to the water supply, set the power switch to

the I (on) position.

The icemaker will fill with water when it

cools to 15°F (-10°C). A newly-installed

refl'igerator may take 12 to 24 horn's to begin

making ice cubes.

Throw away the first Ibw batches of ice to allow

the water line to clear.

Be sm'e nothing interlbres with the sweep

of the _beler arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the feeler

arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice. It is

normal flw several cubes to be joined together.

If ice is not used fl'equently, old ice cubes will

become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.

If ice cubes get stuck in the icemakeL the greell

power light will blink. To correct this, set the

power switch to 0 (off) and remove the cubes.

Set the power switch to I (on) to restart the

icemaker. After the icemaker has been turned

on again, there will be a delay of about

45 minutes beflwe the icemaker resumes

operation.
