This is a safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

UNDERSTAND SIGNAL WORDS

A signal word – DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION – is used with the safety-alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards. It means you can be killed or seriously injured if you do not immediately follow instructions.

Important Safety Instruction

2. PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR

DANGER - CHILD SAFETY

• CHILD ENTRAPMENT HAZARD: 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 refrigerator/freezer:

• Remove doors;

• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside;

• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.

• Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material

immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children should NEVER use these

items to play. They can cause suffocation and death.

• Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the shelves in the refrigerator.

• Never allow children to play with the refrigerator.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this refrigerator, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• The power cord to this appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.

• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

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

• Do not use an adapter plug.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Never unplug an appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet to prevent damaging the power cord.

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing.

Instructions for the Installer

3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Unpack the Refrigerator

Excessive Weight Hazard

WARNING

3.1.1 Remove the Packaging

• Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator. Rub 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. For more information, see “en.”

• On some models, shelves, bins, door shelf rails, and other feature parts may be packaged in the Interior FeaturePak. Follow the instructions contained in the package for proper assembly.

• Properly dispose of packaging.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

• Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor.

• 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.

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

3.1.2 Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in “6. REFRIGERATOR CARE.”

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

Instructions for the Installer

3.2 Location requirements

WARNING

NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat

source. If this is unavoidable, a suitable insulating panel must be used to allow the appliance to work properly.

• Always place the refrigerator in a dry place with satisfactory ventilation. Never expose it to direct sunlight or install it outdoors. Depending on its climate class, the appliance can be used in different temperature conditions.

• The climate class is specified on the nameplate of the fridge, which is positioned in the bottom lefthand corner of the body of the refrigerator.

• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord or an

adapter plug.

• To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 1/2" (12.70 mm) space on each side. Allow 3" (7.5 cm) of space between overhead cabinets and refrigerator top. Allow at least 1" (25.40 mm) between back of cabinet and the wall. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave some extra space at the back for the water line connections.

• If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 12 ½" (5.08 cm) minimum on the hinge side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open.

• Level the refrigerator. See “3.3 Positioning and levelling the appliance”.

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

The temperature conditions are listed in the table below: Class Ambient temperature SN (Subnormal) from + 50° F to + 89° F N (Normal) from + 61° F to + 89° F ST (Subtropical) from + 64° F to + 100° F T (Tropical) from + 64° F to + 109° F

• The refrigerator must be placed at least 1 1/6” from electric or gas cookers and at least 11 5/6” from combustion or radiation heating systems.

• To allow proper cooling of the condenser, the refrigerator must not be positioned too close to the wall. To prevent this, the appliance comes complete with two plastic spacers which must be fitted to the top of the condenser (pic. 1). If the refrigerator is installed underneath a wall cupboard, its distance from it must be at least 2”.

NOTE: Pay attention not to scratch or damage the floor when installing the appliance. If necessary, when positioning slide the refrigerator over pieces of wood or a mat to the point decided for connection to the electrical mains.

3.3 Positioning and levelling the appliance

Place the refrigerator on a stable and level floor. In case the floor is not perfectly level, use the two adjustable feet on the front part of the fridge (pic. 2). To ensure major stability, easier movement and a correct positioning of the product, two additional wheels (pic. 3) are present at the rear. In any case we recommend to move the regriferator very carefully in order to avoid floor damage (especially in case of wooden floor).
