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:

DANGER

WARNING

CAUTION

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.

SAFETY MESSAGES

WARNING

To reduce 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 cords that

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 roll over or damage the power cord.

DO NOTsto re or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

DO NOTallow children to climb, stand or hang on the

refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They could

damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.

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 in the 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, unplug the

refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box

in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-

out light bulb may break when being replaced.)

NOTE: Setting

either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove

power to the light circuit.

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 installed in accordance with

the Attention Installer Instructions that 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 mechanism while the

refrigerator is plugged in.

DO NOTrefre eze frozen foods which have thawed completely.

The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and

Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

“...You may safely refreeze frozen 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 refrozen and should not be eaten.

Thawed ice cream should be discarded. 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 prepared foods.

The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of

many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to

save as much of their eating quality as you can.”

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT:

Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

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.

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

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.

WARNING

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.

Ensure proper

ground exists

before use.
