6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials

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.

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 hang on to or place heavy objects on the refrigerator’s dispenser.

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.

•The refrigerator is heavy. Protect the floor when moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service. 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.

•Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

Choosing the Proper

Location

Electricity

Use an individual, grounded outlet:115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC, 15 Amps minimum.

WARNING

•Do not overload house wiring and cause a fire hazard by plugging in multiple appliances in the same outlet with the refrigerator.

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

NOTE

•Remove tape and any temporary labels from your refrigerator before using. Do not remove any warning labels, the model and serial number label, or the Tech Sheet that is located under the front of the refrigerator.

•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.

•Reinstall or adjust shelves as needed. Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping position. Reinstall shelves according to your individual storage needs.

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 55 °F (13 °C) and 110 °F (43 °C).

12 INSTALLATION

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.

•If an opening is too narrow to fit the refrigerator through, remove the refrigerator doors. See Removing/ Assembling the Doors and Drawers in this manual.

•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 and drawers.

•Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity consumption charges. Allow at least 24 inches (610 mm) in front of the refrigerator to open the doors, and at least 2 inches (50 mm) between the back of the refrigerator and the wall.
