Read all instructions before using this appliance.
•NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug rmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.
•Immediately repair or replace all power 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.

WARNING
•Before service is performed on the interior LED lighting, unplug the refrigerator or turn o power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
NOTE: The refrigerator and freezer compartment lights are LED interior lighting, and service should be performed by a quali ed technician.
WARNING: Setting either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.
•When you are nished, 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.
•DO NOT touch 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 4°C.
…Thawed ground meats, poultry or sh that have any o -odor or o -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 a ected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their quality as you can.

CFC/HCFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chloro uorocarbons or hydrochloro uorocarbons). 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 quali ed technician. If you intentionally release
refrigerant, you may be subject to nes and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.
ELECTRICAL & GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked by a quali ed electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
3-prong grounding type wall receptacle
3-prong grounding plug
Ensure proper 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 amperes (minimum). This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a re hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle that cannot be turned o 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.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
WARNING: Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two-prong) adaptors. 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.
CAUTION
•Do not bend the power cord excessively or place heavy articles on it.
•Connect the power plug in the proper position with the cord hanging down.
•When moving the refrigerator, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
•If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced immediately by the manufacturer or its service agent.
•Do not insert the power plug with wet hands.
•Do not insert your hands into the area under the bottom of the appliance.
•Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the back of the refrigerator.
WARNING
Replacing Electrical Cord
To avoid hazard, damaged power cords must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly quali ed technician. Do not operate the appliance with a damaged power cord.
