IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Read all of the instructions before using this appliance. 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 User's Manual.

2.This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation instructions before it is used. See Grounding Instructions in the Installation section.

3.Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

4.Repair or replace immediately all electrical 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 the plug or connector end.

5.Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.

NOTE: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly recommend that a certified technician perform the service.

6.Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your refrigerator.

7.If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you remove the doors and leave the shelves in place. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.

8.After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.

9.Do not refreeze foods which have been thawed completely. The United

States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 reads: "...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold – below 40°F".

"...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, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat."

"...Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce 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."

10.This refrigerator should not be recessed or built into an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.

11.Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

DANGER!

Installation

Unpacking Your Refrigerator

1.Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside and out. Slide out and remove plastic or foam guard used to secure the compressor from shipping damage due to vibration and shock.

2.Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before powering on the refrigerator.

Adjusting Your Refrigerator

Leveling Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator has two leveling legs which are located in the front corners of the appliance. After properly placing your refrigerator in its final position, you can level the refrigerator.

Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them counterclockwise to raise the refrigerator or by turning them clockwise to lower it. The refrigerator door will close more easily when the leveling legs are raised.

Proper Air Circulation

To ensure that your refrigerator works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for, you should install it in a location where there are proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.

The following are recommended clearances around the refrigerator:

Sides .................. 3/4" (19mm) Top ....................1" (25mm) Back ...................1" (25mm)

Electrical Requirements

Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115V AC, 60Hz, 15 amps) with proper grounding to power the refrigerator.

Avoid the use of three-prong adapters or cutting off the third grounding prong in order to accommodate a two-prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may result in shock hazard.

Installation Limitations

Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or heated, e.g., your garage, etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to operate in temperature settings below 55° Fahrenheit.
