IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Grounding type wall receptacle

Power cord with 3-prong grounded plug

Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong.

Child Safety

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. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight

chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation.

Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator or Freezer

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/ Freezers

We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility company or visit www.recyclemyoldfridge.com for more information on recycling your old refrigerator.

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

qualied service

technician.

and ordinances. Consult a qualied electrician.

Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not use an

extension cord or adapter plug.

• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by an authorized service technician to prevent any risk.

• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on

the power cord. Always grip the plug rmly,

and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the

refrigerator with insufcient power can

damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty.

• Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.

IMPORTANT

Pressing and holding the On/Off button for 3 seconds, located on the left side of the temperature control panel (Electronic controls), or turning the Freezer and Fresh Food controls to “0” (Mechanical controls) will disable your refrigerator’s cooling system, but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb and other electrical components. To turn off power to your refrigerator you must unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

WARNING

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in this refrigerator will operate properly.

Electrical information

• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only electrical outlet. The power cord

of the 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. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes

CAUTION

To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden temperature change.

INSTALLATION

Installing Toe Grille

Removing Toe Grille

This Use & Care Guide provides general operating instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the

refrigerator, follow these important rst

steps.

Location

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

• If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight and away from the range, dishwasher or other heat sources.

• The refrigerator must be installed on a oor that is level and strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.

• Consider water supply availability for

models equipped with an automatic ice

maker. If you do not hook up water to the refrigerator, remember to turn the ice maker off.

CAUTION

Do Not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures inside the refrigerator.

Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front

of your refrigerator. Sufcient air circulation

is essential for the proper operation of your refrigerator.

Installation

Installation clearances

• Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections:

Door Opening

NOTE



The refrigerator doors are designed to shut by themselves within a 20 degree opening.

Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access to a counter or table when removing food. For best use of drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator should be in a position where both the refrigerator and freezer doors can be fully opened.

Guidelines for nal positioning of

your refrigerator:

• All four corners of the cabinet must rest

rmly on the oor.

• The cabinet should be level at the front and rear.

• The sides should tilt ¼ inch (6 mm) from front to back (to ensure that doors close and seal properly).

• Doors should align with each other and be level.

All of these conditions can be met by raising or lowering the adjustable front rollers.

To level the cabinet using the front rollers:

1 Open both doors and remove the toe grille

(see “Toe Grille Installation and Removal” in the “Installation” section).

2 Close the doors and use a at-blade

screwdriver or 3/8 inch socket wrench to raise or lower the front rollers.

3 Ensure both doors are bind-free with their

seals touching the cabinet on all four sides.

To level the doors using the adjustable lower hinge:

NOTE



Some models will not have a set screw. For those models follow steps 2 through 4.

1 Before leveling either door, remove set

screw that locks door height into position. (The door cannot be adjusted without set screw removed).

2 If the refrigerator door is lower than the

freezer door, raise the refrigerator door by turning the adjustment screw clockwise using a 7/16 inch wrench. (See illustration.)

3 If the freezer door is lower than the

refrigerator door, raise the freezer door by turning the adjustment screw clockwise using a 7/16 inch wrench. (See illustration.)
