PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of

the past. Junked or abondoned refrigerators orfreezers are still

dangerous - even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are

getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow the

instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator/freezer:

• Remove doors.

• Leave shelves inplace so children may not easily climb

inside.

• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own

dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only electric outlet. The power cord ofthe appliance is equipped with a

three-prong grounding plug for yourprotection against

electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. The

receptacle must be installed in accordance with local

codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician.

Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

• Immediately repair or replace any power cord that becomes frayed or damaged.

• Never unplug the refrigeratorby pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before

replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by

10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty.

• Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being

turned off accidentally.

• Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault

Interruptor (GFI) circuit.

refrigerator, follow these important first steps.

LOCATION

• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

• If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight

and away from the range, dishwasher or other heat sources.

• The refrigerator must be installed on a floor that is level

and strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.

• Consider water supply availability for models equipped

with an automatic ice maker.

INSTALLATION

LEVELING

All four corners of your refrigerator must rest firmly on a solid floor. Your refrigerator isequipped with adjustable front rollers to help level your unit.

To Level Your Refrigerator:

1. Remove toe grille.

Installation Clearances

• Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,

proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections:

Sides & Top 3/8"

DOOR OPENING

Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access to a counter when removing food. To make this possible, the direction in which the doors open can be reversed. See Door

Removal & Reversal Instructions on page 6.

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips TM screwdriver

• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.

• A water supply line made of 1Ainch (6.4 mm) OD, copper tubing. To determine the length of copper tubing needed, you will need to measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).

• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.

• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting the water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

6. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line to rear panel of

refrigerator as shown.
