Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compaactment when hands are damp or wet.
Skin may adhere to these extremely cold
s(*r_lces.
* Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in tim vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
* In refrigerators with automatic icema_kers,
avoid contact with moving parts ot the ejector
mechanisuL 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 refl'igerator is plugged ill
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 perfln'med

the refl'igerator should be unplugged in
order to avoid contact with a live wire
filament. (A bm'ned-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 CustomCool 'MTray after
thawing food.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTtUCITY
Do not, under any drcumstaaaces, 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 tile possibility of electric shock
hazard ii'om this appliance.
Hare tile wall outlet and dreuit checked by
a qualitied electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded.
Where a standaM 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it *eplaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Tile refrigerator should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical oudet which has
a voltage rating that matches tile rating plate.
Because of potential safety hazaacds under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of am adapter plug.
HoweveL it you UltlSt rise all adapter; where local
codes permit, a temporary connection may be
made to a propedy grounded 2-prong wall outlet
by use of a UI Aisted adapter available at most
local hardware stores.
The larger slot in tile adapter must be aligned with
tile larger slot ill the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in tile connection ot tile power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord ti'om tile
adaptel, always hold tile adapter ill place with one
hand while pulling tile power cord plug with tile
other hand. If this is not done, tile adapter ground
temfinal is ve_y likely to break with repeated use.
This provides tile best perfi_unance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard _i'om ox erheated wires.
Nerer unplug your refrigerator by pulling on tile
power cord. Alwa}:s grip plug firmly and pull
straight out ti'om tile outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords
that hare become tiaved or otherwise damaged.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion
damage along its length or at either end.
\_]len moving tile refrigerator away ti'oul tile
wall, be caleflll Ilot to roll over or damage tile
power cord.
If tile adapter ground terminal breal<s, DO NOT
USE tile appliance until a proper ground has been
established,
Attaching tile adapter ground terlninal to a wall
outlet cover screw does not gro/md the appliance
unless tile cover screw is metal, and not insulated,
and tile wall outlet is grounded through tile house
wiring. You shoukl have the dreuit checked bv
a qualified electridan to make sure tile outlet is
properly grounded.
Use of all adapter plug will increase tile clearance
needed tb, tile back (ff tile appliance.
USE OF EXT>2NSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazaacds under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend agafinst the
use of am extension cord.
Howe\w. if you must use all extension cord, it is
absolutely necessai T that it be a UIAisted, 3-wire
grounding _pe appliance extension cord having
a grounding b,pe plug and outlet and that tile
electrical rating of tile cord be 15 amperes
(minim urn) and 120 volts.

order to more quickly cool f6ods.
Use TurboCool when addino a TurboCool
large amotmt ot tood to the refl'igerator
compartment, putting away foods after they
have been sitting out at room temperature
or when putting away warm leitove_. It can
also be used if the refligerator has been

1 Press TurboCool. The refl'igerator
temperature display will show TC.
2 _Mter TurboCool is complete,
the refl'igerator comi)artinent
will return to the original setting.
Once actix;tted, the compressor will turn on
immediately and the rims will cycle on and
off at high speed as needed for 8 horn's.
The compressor will continue to rtm until
the refligerator coml)artment cools to
approximately 34°F (1 °C), then it will cycle
on and off to maintain this setting. Aflrer
8 horn's, or if TurboCool is pIessed again,
the refl'igerator compartment will return to
the original setting.
NOTES:
" The refl'igerator temperature cannot be
