REFRIGERATOR DRAWERS SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:
DANGER
WARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
Proper Disposal of Your Old
Refrigerator Drawers
Before you throw away your old refrigerator drawers:
Remove the drawers.
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard
Remove drawers from your old refrigerator drawers.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerator drawers are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator drawers, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator drawers.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Remove the Packaging
ElectricalRequirements
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Before you move your refrigerator drawers into the final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended grounding method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator drawers be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of the power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food quality and flavor may be affected. If nuisance
tripping has occurred, and if the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of it.
Properly dispose of packaging. 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 drawers.
IMPORTANT: Use a T30 TORX®† screwdriver to remove the skids.
When Moving Your Refrigerator Drawers:
Your refrigerator drawers are heavy. When moving the appliance for service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the appliance straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the appliance when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator drawers before using them. See the cleaning instructions in the Use & Care Guide.
RemovetheBaseGrille
IMPORTANT: You must remove the base grille in order to lower the leveling legs. Be sure to reinstall the base grille when the installation is complete.
