injury, or product damage only.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the change of injury and tell you what can happen if the

instructions are not followed.

kvAv/ d

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using your product, basic safety

precautions should be followed, including the following. Read all instructions before using this appliance:

• NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out

from the outlet.

• Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not

use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.

• When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage it in any way.

• Do not crush or damage the water line.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the

refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They

could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themshelves.

• Keep fingers out of 'pinch point' areas; clearances

between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful when you open the doors when children are

in the area.

• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any

repairs. NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the

refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live filament.

(A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced). NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.

• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment, they

may break when frozen, causing damage.

• The refrigerator-freezer should be positioned so that the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection if an accident happens.

• For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked

by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

• This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance

with the 'Attention Installer' instructions that were taped

to the front of the refrigerator.

• After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands

are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold surfaces.

• In refrigerator with automatic icemakers, avoid contact

with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with

the heating element that releases the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic ice

making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture

in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

"...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed

if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold below 40 °F (4 °C)." "Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any

off-odor or off-color should not be frozen and should not

be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. Ifthe odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, get rid of

it. The food may be dangerous to eat." "Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating quality of foods, particulary fruits, vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as

possible to save as much of their quality as you can."

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduce physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still

dangerous.., even if they will sit for "just a few days". If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please

follow the instructions at right to help prevent accidents.

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofiuorocarbons). CFCs are believed to

harm stratospheric ozone. If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be

properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

of environmental legislation. This appliance contains

fluid (refrigerant, lubricant), and is made of parts and

materials which are reusable and / or recyclable. All the important materials should be sent to the collection

center of waste material and can be reused after rework (recycling). To recycle, please contact your local agency.

Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance needed for the back of the refrigerator. If the supply cord

is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid any hazard.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for

115 volts, 60Hz, AC only and fused at 15 or 20 amperes. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire

hazard from overheated wires. Itis recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.

Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third

(Ground) prong from the power cord.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United States), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and

outlet, and that the electrical rating of the cord be

15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or Freezer Control, depending on the

model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (thermostat, refrigerator control or freezer control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.

briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also

be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
