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.
- 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
•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 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).
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 (chlorofluorocarbons). 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 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
wall receptacle _.
groundingplug
Ensure proper
3-prong_
ground exists
before use.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install

other injury.
UNPACKING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Remove tape and any temporary labels from your
refrigerator before using. Do not remove any
warning-type labels, the model and serial number
label, or the Tech Sheet that is located under the
front of the refrigerator, behind the base cover.
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area
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.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,
flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove
tape or glue. These products can damage the
surface of your refrigerator. For more information,
see the Important Safety Instructions section.
Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping
position.
Please reinstall shelves according to your individual
storage needs.
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
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.

INSTALLATION
PRIOR TO USE
• To minimize noise and vibration, the refrigerator
MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
• 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 Alignment: on page 17.)
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.
3. Too small 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.
1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off all
dust 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. Let your refrigerator run for at least 2 or 3 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.
