CAUTION

To reduce the risk of minor or moderate injury to persons, malfunction, or damage to the product or property when using this product, follow basic precautions, including the following:

INSTALLATION

• Do not install the refrigerator where there may be a danger of the unit falling.

• The refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions.

OPERATION

• Do not use aerosols near the refrigerator.

• This appliance is intended to be used only in domestic and similar applications.

• Do not strike or apply excessive force to any glass surface. Do not touch glass surfaces if they are cracked or broken.

• Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into door bins. Doing so may cause damage to the bin or personal injury if items are removed with excessive force.

• Do not overfill the appliance with food. Doing so may cause personal injury or property damage.

Wine Storage

• Pull wine racks open gently. Jerking the racks out may cause bottles to fall.

• Store only wine bottles in the wine storage compartment. The temperature of the compartment is too high to safely preserve refrigerated foods.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

MAINTENANCE

• Do not use strong detergents like wax or thinners for cleaning. Clean with a soft cloth.

• Remove foreign objects (such as dust and water) off the prongs of the power plug and contact areas. Do not use a wet or damp cloth when cleaning the plug.

• Do not spray water directly on the inside or outside of the refrigerator.

• Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. They may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes.

This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), which is combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes.

In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 10.8 square feet (1 square meter) in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

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

Flooring

To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be installed and leveled on a solidly constructed floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate for the unevenness of the floor.

NOTE

• Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a platform or weakly supported structure is not recommended.

Ambient Temperature

Install this appliance in an area where the temperature is between 50 °F (10 °C) and 95 °F (35 °C).

If the temperature around the appliance is too low or high, cooling ability may be adversely affected.

Dimensions and Clearances

INSTALLATION

• Check the dimensions of the appliance and the installation path to ensure there is sufficient room to move the refrigerator through doors or narrow openings.

• The installation location chosen for the refrigerator should allow space behind the unit for connections and airflow and space in front to open the doors.

• Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity consumption charges.

INSTALLATION

Leveling

The refrigerator has two front leveling legs. Adjust the legs to alter the tilt from front-to back or side-to side. If the refrigerator seems unsteady, or the door does not close easily, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:

Open the bottom drawer and remove the cover

from the appliance.

Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that

side of the refrigerator or to the right to lower it. It may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

Open the door and the drawers and check to

make sure that they close easily. If they do not close easily, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling legs to the left. It may take several more turns, and be sure to turn both leveling legs the same amount.

When the refrigerator is level, open the bottom

drawer and reassemble the cover.

Turning on the Power

• After installing, plug the refrigerator’s power cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet and push the refrigerator into the final position.

CAUTION

• Connect to a rated power outlet.

• Have a certified electrician check the wall outlet and wiring for proper grounding.

• Do not damage or cut off the ground terminal of the power plug.

Position the Refrigerator
