Refrigerator Safety

Your safety is important to us.

This guide contains statements under warning symbols. Please pay special attention to these symbols and follow any

instructions given. Here is a brief explana-

tion of the use of the warning symbol.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using the refrigerator.

@Child entrapment and suffocation are

not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous . . . even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days.”

If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, do it safely. Please read the enclosed safety booklet from the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers. Help prevent accidents.

*Never allow children to operate, play

with, or crawl inside the refrigerator.

This symbol alerts you to such dangers

Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

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 Using Your Refrigerator

It is important to prepare your refrigerator for use. This section tells you how to clean it,

connect it to a power source, install it, and level it.

Cleaning your refrigerator

Removing packaging materials

Remove tape and any inside labels (except

the model and serial number label) before

using the refrigerator.

NOTE: Do not remove any permanent instruction labels inside your refrigerator. Do not remove the Tech Sheet fastened under the refrigerator at the front.

To remove any remaining glue:

Rub briskly with your thumb to make a ball,

then remove.

Soak area with liquid hand-dishwashing detergent before removing glue as described above. Do not use sharp

instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids or abrasive cleaners. These can damage the material. See “Important Safety Instructions” on page 3.

Plugging it in

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused and properly grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance

be provided. Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.

See Electrical Requirements and Grounding Instructions Sheet in your Literature Package.

Cleaning it before use

After removing all packaging materials,

clean your refrigerator before using it, if necessary. See cleaning instructions on pages

15 and 16.

2. Allow at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) between the refrigerator condenser on the back and

the wall.

3. Allow 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) on each side of

the refrigerator for ease of installation.

4. If the hinge side of the refrigerator is to be

against a wall, you might want to leave extra space so the door can be opened wider.

5. Level vour refriaerator.

Your refrigerator has two front, adjustable rollers to prevent rocking on uneven floors.

To adjust rollers:

1. Roll refrigerator into position.

2. Adjust rollers by turning the leveling screws, located at the front of the base.

Using Your Refrigerator

To obtain the best possible results from your refrigerator, it is important that you operate it properly. This section tells you how to set the temperature control, remove and adjust some of the features in your refrigerator, and how to save energy.

Setting the temperature control

The Temperature Control is in the refrigerator. It controls the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. When you plug in the refrigerator for the first time:

1. Set the Temperature Control to 3 (normal). Temperature Control adjustments range from 1 (warmest) to 5 (coldest).

NOTE: Turning the Temperature Control

to OFF stops cooling in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments, but it does

not disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply.

2. Give the refrigerator time to cool down

completely before adding food. This could take several hours.

3. Adjust the Temperature Control to have

food as cold as you like. The setting

indicated above should be correct for normal, household refrigerator usage.

NOTE: The built-in exterior moisture control

continuously guards against moisture build-

up on the outside of the refrigerator cabinet.
