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 or freezers 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 in place 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 of the appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection 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 refrigerator by 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.

• Donot 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.

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

and strong enough to support afully loaded refrigerator.

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

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need

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

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

• A water supply line made of 1/_inch (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 7 feet (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.
