BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard signal word DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

,A WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California

to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or

personal injury 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.

o Do not modify or extend the power cord length. It

could cause electric shock or fire.

,,When moving your refrigerator away from the wall,

be careful not to roll over or damage the power

cord.

• 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 a hazard.

Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the

plug or connector end.

• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and 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 themselves. Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances

between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• 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 wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.)

NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting

and service should be performed by a qualified technician.

• When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the controls

(Thermostat, Refrigerator Control, and or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to the desired

setting.

, 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 refrigerators 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 icemaking 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 4°C.

...Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have

any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be

discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, dispose of it. The food may be

dangerous to eat.

Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating quality of foods, particularly 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 reduced 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.

Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even if they are sitting for just a few days.

If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please

follow the instructions at right to help prevent accidents (child entrapment and suffocation).

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

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY

YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER

• Take off the doors.

°Leave the shelves in place so that

children may not easily climb inside.

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or

hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are

believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to the environment if released to the atmosphere.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make

sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal

by a qualified technician. If you intentionally release refrigerant, you may be subject to fines and imprisonment

under provisions of environmental legislation.

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Electrical Shock Hazard

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.

3-prong grounding type I

wallreceptacle

3-prong _----x___ i \_ grounding I "_'-_ I ,_

Ensure proper

I ground exists

/// before use.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, the use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, if you still elect to use an

extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-

listed (USA), 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.

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

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own

individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for

115 Volts, 60 Hz, 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, it is recommended that a

separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Use a receptacle that 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.

PRIOR TO USE

1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off all dust that accumulated during shipping.

2. Install accessories such as ice cube bin, drawers, shelves, etc., in their proper places. They are packed

together to prevent possible damage during shipment.

3. Allow your refrigerator to run for at least two to three hours before putting food in it. Check the flow of cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling. Your refrigerator is now ready for use.

To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be leveled and installed on a solidly constructed floor. If required,

adjust the leveling legs to compensate for unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to the right to lower it. (See LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT.)

NOTE: Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a platform or weakly supported structure is not

recommended.

Install this appliance in an area where the temperature

is between 55°F (13°C) and ]10°F (43°C). If the temperature around the appliance is too low or high, cooling ability may be adversely affected.

Select a place where a water supply can be easily connected for the automatic icemaker.

NOTE: The water pressure must be between 20 and

120 psi (140 and 830 kPa) on models without a water

filter and between 40 and120 psi (280 and 830kPa) on models with a water filter.

Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity consumption charges. Allow at least 24 inches (61 cm) in front of the refrigerator to open the doors and at least 2 inches (5.08 cm) between the back of the refrigerator and the wall.

INSTALLATION

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115 Volts, 60 Hz, 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. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
