the design of this refrigerator will operate properly.

• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only electrical outlet. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a three-

prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle The recep-

tacle must be installed inaccordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances Consult a qualified electrician

• If voltage varies by 10 percent or more, performance of your refrigerator may be affected Operating the refrigerator with insufficient power can damage the compressor Such damage is not covered under your warranty If you suspect

your voltage is high or low, consult your power company for testing

° To prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally, do not plug the

unit into an outlet controlled by a walt switch or pull cord DO NOT USEAN EXTENSIONCORD OR AN ADAPTERPLUG

= Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord

Other Precautions

° Neverunplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord Always grip the plug

firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle

= To avoid electrical shock, unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before

replacing a light bulb Note: Turning the refrigerator control to OFFturns off

the compressor, but does not disconnect power to the light bulb or other electrical components.

Before starting the refrigerator, follow these important first steps:

Location

o Choose a piace that is near a grounded electrical outlet DO NOT use an

extension cord or an adapter ptug

o If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight and away from the

range, dishwasher or other heat sources

o 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

• Do not instalt the refrigerator where the temperature wili drop below 60°F

(15°C) or riseabove t ! 0°F (43°C) The compressor will not beable to maintain proper temperatures

. Allow space around the unit for good air circulation Leave a 1 inch (25 mm)

space behind and a 3 inch (75 ram) space above the refrigerator for adequate circulation

• tn a recessed installation, allow an extra 1/2 inch (t0-15 ram) on each side

for easeof installation

. For best circulation, elevate the unit 1 inch (25 mm) from the floor, especially

if the floor iscarpeted

Door Opening

The doors should open to allow easy accessto a counter when removing food

• Do not position the refrigerator so you have to walk around the refrigerator

doors

o Reversethe doors if necessary See "Reversible Door Instructions"

Leveling

All four corners of refrigerator must rest firmly on a solid floor, Some models are equipped with adjustable screw_type levelers Others are equipped with rollers If you refrigerator did not come with rollers, they can be purchased from you dealer

• To adjust screw-type levelers (some models): Tipthe cabinet back slightly, and raise the adjusting bolts as needed

• To adjust front rollers (some models): Use a screwdriver, 3/8" socket wrench, or nutdriver to adjust the rollers as shown.

RAISETHE FRONTof the cabinet enough so doors will close freely when opened halfway Levelthe cabinet side to side

Cleaning

• Wash the inside, oil removable parts and the outside with mild detergent and warm water Wipe dry DO NOT USE HARSH CLEANERS ON THESE

SURFACES.

. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the

appliance surface, when removing adhesive labels Any glue left from the tape or energy label can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky side of tape already removed

o DO NOT REMOVETHE SERIALPLATE

Sunken bolt (some models)

Energy Saving ndeas

o Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight and

away from heating ducts or registers Do not place the refrigerator next to heat- producing appliances such asarange, oven or dishwasher If this isnot possible,

a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between the two appliances wil! help the refrigerator operate more efficiently

• Level the refrigerator so the doors close tightly

• Refer to this Owner's Guide for the suggested refrigerator settings o Periodic cleaning of the condenser will help the refrigerator run more efficiently

See Outside in the "Care and Cleaning" section

= Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents Doing so causes the

refrigerator to run longer and usemore energy Shelvesshould not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling Liners interfere with cold air

circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient, which could cause food spoilage

, Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator This

cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit

• Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible
