NOTE: If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time, wait 24

hours before plugging the unit in.

1) Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and care guide.

2) This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is

used. See Electrical Requirements in the Set Up & Use section.

3) This refrigerator should not be recessed or built into an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for

freestanding installation only.

4) Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull

straight out from the outlet.

5) 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, the plug or the
connector end.

6) If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you remove the doors. This will reduce

the possibility of danger to children.

7) Do not refreeze foods that 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 can 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."

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. DO NOT USE EXTENSION

source, e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances, etc. Any floor unevenness should be
corrected with the leveling legs located on the front bottom corners of the refrigerator.

UNPACKING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the corrugated base and all adhesive tape holding the
refrigerator accessories inside and outside.

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

3. If your refrigerator comes with smooth or stainless steel doors, please remove the clear film before
turning it on for the first time. When removing the film, do not pull the film straight down as this could
result in misaligned doors.

4. It is normal for the freezer door to be positioned slightly higher than the top of the cabinet when the
refrigerator is first installed. This positioning is done at the factory to ensure a proper gasket seal
once the door is weighted with food items.
