This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you

of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard

signal word DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION. These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury and tell you what can happen if

the instructions are not followed.

Toreduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using your product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

• NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the

outlet.

• Repair or replace immediately all electric service cordsthat

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.

• When moving your refrigerator away from the wall,

be careful not to rollover or damage the power cord. DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of thisor any other appliance. DO NOTallow childrento climb, stand or hang on the

refrigerator doors or shelves inthe refrigerator.They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injurethemselves.

Keep fingers out of "pinch point" areas; clearances between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are inthe area.

Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs. NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be

performed by a qualified individual.

• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplugthe

refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contactwith a live wire filament. (A burned- out light bulb may breakwhen being replaced.) NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF positiondoes notremove power to the light circuit.

• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen, causing damage.

• For personal safety,this appliance must be properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked by a qualified

electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

• Read all instructions before using this appliance.

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described

in this use and care guide.

• This refrigerator must be properly installedin accordance with theAttention Installer Instructionsthat 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.

• In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanismwhile the refrigerator is plugged in.

DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely. The United States Department ofAgriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

"...Youmay safely refreezefrozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold below 40°F (4°C).

"...Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozenand should not be eaten.

Thawed ice cream should bediscarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, get rid of it. The food may be

dangerous to eat. "Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating quality

of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and preparedfoods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozenfoods as soon as possible to save as much of their eating quality as you can."

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of

the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still

dangerous...even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions at right to help prevent accidents.

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER

oTake off the doors.

Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Your old refrigerator has a cooling system that used CFC's

(chlorofluorocarbons). CFC°s are believed to harm stratospheric ozone.

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Electrical Shock Hazard

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be

properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

3-prong grounding type

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 or 20 amperes.

This provides the best performance and also prevents

overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a

the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a

qualified servicer. If you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off 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.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the

third (ground) prong from the power cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator

from the electrical source. When you are finished,

reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use

an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 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.
