6 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DISPOSAL

•• Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even if they are sitting for only a few days. When disposing of the refrigerator, remove the packing materials from the door or take off the doors but leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

•• If disposing of a refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you release the refrigerant, you may be fined or imprisoned in accordance with the relevant environmental law.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

•• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

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

•• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet. Failure to do so may damage the power cord, resulting in a risk of fire and electric shock.

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 7

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.

INSTALLATION 13

Dimensions and Clearances

•• 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.

14 INSTALLATION

Leveling Turning on the Power

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:

1 Open the bottom drawer and remove the cover from the appliance.

2	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.
3	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.
4	When the refrigerator is level, open the bottom
	drawer and reassemble the cover.

••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

••Arrange the refrigerator so that it does not vibrate against adjoining surfaces or against the wall. Be sure to maintain at least a 2” clearance behind the refrigerator for proper ventilation.

OPERATION 15

OPERATION

Before Use

Clean the refrigerator.

Clean the refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off all dust that accumulated during shipping.

CAUTION

••Do not scratch the refrigerator with a sharp object or use a detergent that contains alcohol, a flammable liquid or an abrasive when removing any tape or adhesive from the refrigerator. Remove adhesive residue by wiping it off with your thumb or dish detergent.

••Do not peel off the model or serial number label or the technical information on the rear surface of the refrigerator.

Open refrigerator doors to ventilate the interior.

The inside of the refrigerator may smell like plastic at first. Remove any adhesive tape from inside the refrigerator and open the refrigerator doors for ventilation.

Wait for the refrigerator to cool.

Allow the refrigerator to run for at least two to three hours before putting food in it. Check the flow of cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling.

CAUTION

••Putting food in the refrigerator before it has cooled could cause the food to spoil, or a bad odor to remain inside the refrigerator.

The refrigerator makes a loud noise after initial operation.

This is normal. The volume will decrease as the temperature decreases.
