APPLIANCE SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messa ges in this manual and on your appliance. Always read
and obey all safety messages.

This is the Safety Alert Symbol. The symbol alerts you to potential hazards that
can kill or injure you and others. All safety messages will follow the Safety
Alert Symbol and either the words "DANGER" or "WARNING".

DANGER means that failure to heed this safety
statement may result in severe personal injury or
death.

WARNING means that failure to heed this safety
statement may result in extensive product
damage, serious personal injury, or death.

All safety messages will alert you about the potential hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,
and let you know what can happen if the instruct i ons are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Before the appliance is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as
described in this manual, so read the manual caref ul ly. To reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock or injury when using the appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remov e grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do
not use an extension cord.

• Replace all panels before operating.

• It is recommended that a separate circuit servi ng onl y your appliance be provided. Use receptacles

that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull ch ai n.

• Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

• Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of t he unit is
disconnected.

• Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.

• Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in

electrical shock or death.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommende d i n
this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a quali fied technician.

• This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains a small quantity of Isobutane (R600a ) w hich is
environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it increase t he
greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance that no
parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the eyes.

4

In the event of any damage:

- Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,

- Disconnect from the electrical power line,

- Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes and

- Contact the Service Dep artment for advice.

• The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of

a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up.
For every ounce of coolant at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The amount of coolant in
the appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance. It is hazardous for anyone other than an
Authorized Service Person to carry out servicin g or repairs to this appliance.

• Use two or more people to move and install appliance. F ail ure to do so can result in back or other
injury.

• To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, t he front of the unit must be completely unobstructed.
Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatu res above 60°F (16°C) and below 90°F (32°C). This unit
must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.

• The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.

• The appliance must be installed with all elect rical, water and drain connections in accordance with

state and local codes. A standard electrical s uppl y (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Cod e and local codes and ordinances, is required.

• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the appliance.

• The size of the fuse (or circuit breaker) should b e 15 amperes.

• It is important that the appliance be leveled in ord er to work properly. You may need to make several

adjustments to level it.

• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code r equi rements.

• Make certain that the pipes are not pinched, kin ked or damaged during installation.

• Check for leaks after connection.

• Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance.

• Although the unit has been tested at the factory, due to long-term transit and storage, the first batch

of cubes must be discarded.

• Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may damage
or discolor the interior.

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpo se as described in this Owner’s Manual.

• Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas. Clearances between the doors and between the doors

and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closi ng doors when children are in the area.

Risk of child entrapment!

Child entrapment and suffocation are not proble m s of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are
still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in t he garage a few days”.

Before discarding your old refrigerator:

• Take off the doors

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
