IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
WARNING
m
When using this appliance, always
exercise basic safety precautions,
including the following:
1. Use this appliance only for its
intended purpose as described
in this Owner's Manual.
2. This refrigerator must be
properly installed in accordance
with the Installation Instructions
before it is used.
3. Do not allow children to climb,
stand or hang on the shelves in
the refrigerator. They could
seriously injure themselves and
damage the refrigerator.
4. After your refrigerator is in
operation, do not touch the cold
surfaces in the refrigerator
compartment, particularly when
hands are damp or wet. Skin
may adhere to these extremely
cold surfaces.
5. Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
6. In refrigerators with an automatic
icemaker, avoid contact with the
moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or with the heating
element located on the bottom
of the icemaker. Do not place
fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism
while the refrigerator is plugged in.
7. Use the motorized shelf
carefully. Warning against
squeezing hands between
motorized shelf and the
evaporator cover.
8. Unplug your refrigerator before
cleaning and making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend
that any servicing be performed
by a qualified individual.
9. Before replacing a burned-out
light bulb, set the power switch
in the OFF position to turn off the
lights in order to avoid contact
with a live wire filament.
10. A burned-out light bulb may
break when being replaced.
NOTE: Setting the refrigerator
temperature controls to OFF
does not remove power to the
light circuit.
m WARNING
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation
are not problems of the past. Junked
or abandoned refrigeration products
are still dangerous... even if they will
sit for “just a few days.” If you are
getting rid of your old appliance,
please follow these instructions to
help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old
refrigeration product:
– Take off the doors.
– Leave the shelves in place so that
children may not easily climb
inside.
Electrical Connection
The appliance comes with an UL
listed, 3-wire power supply cord.
The appliance requires a 3-wire
receptacle.
The receptacle must be installed by
a licensed electrician only.
Grounding instruction
This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing
a path of least resistance for the
electric current.
Improper connection of the
equipment grounding conductor
may result in electric shock. Have the
appliance checked by a qualified
electrician or service technician if you
are in doubt as to whether the
appliance has been properly
grounded.
Some local regulations may require
a separate ground. In such cases,
the required accessory ground wire,
clamp and screw must be
purchased separately.
Never ground the appliance to
plastic plumbing lines, gas lines or
water pipes.
3
CFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have
a cooling system that used CFC's
(chlorofluorocarbons).
CFC's are believed to harm
stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away an old
refrigeration product, make sure 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.
IMPORTANT
Save these instructions for local
inspector's use. Observe all
governing codes and ordinances.
Note to installer –
Be sure to leave these instructions
with the consumer.
Note to consumer –
Keep these instructions with your
Owner's Manual for future reference.

installed securely and functions
properly, the base must be fiat and
level.
The base must be made of a hard,
rigid material.
The installation area must be the
same height as the rest of the room.
On account of the heavy weight of
a fully loaded appliance, a loadbearing base is required.
For fully-loaded weight see the
following table:
