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,

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

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.

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.

•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.

•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.

•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.

•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.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not

play with the appliance.

Junked or abandoned refrigerators are 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 (Child entrapment and

suffocation).

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone.

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 groundingtype

wall receptacle "-- _._

3-prong grounding plug

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.

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 of environmental legislation.

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.

Do not use an adapter plug.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, disconnect the

refrigerator from the electrical source.

NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and

service should be performed by a qualified technician. When you are 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.

Ensureproper groundexists

beforeuse.

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 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 (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.

• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not recommended.

• Never install the refrigerator on a platform or weakly supported structure.

1. To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled. 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 clockwise ('_',,_) to raise the unit,

counterclockwise ( _'_" ) to lower it. (See Leveling and

Door Alignment on page 15.)

2. Install this appliance in an area where the temperature

is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F (43°C.) If the temperature around the appliance is too low or high, cooling ability may be adversely affected.

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the

refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to protect

the floor. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when

moving it. Do not wiggle or walk the refrigerator when

trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

•To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.

• Select a place where a water supply can be easily

connected for the automatic icemaker.

& CAUTION: Avoid placing the unit near heat sources,

direct sunlight or moisture.
