IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of ﬁ re, electric shock, or personal

injury when using your product, basic safety precautions

should be followed, including the following.

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the • power cord. Always grip the plug ﬁ rmly and pull it

straight out from the outlet.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced • by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly

qualiﬁ ed person in order to avoid a hazard. Do not use

a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its

length or at either the plug or connector end.

Do not modify or extend the power cord length. It •

could cause electric shock or ﬁ re.

When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be • careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill

or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard

signal word DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION. These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen

if the instructions are not followed.

DO NOT store or use gasoline or other ﬂ ammable • vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

DO NOT allow children to climb, stand, or hang on the • refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They

could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure

themselves.

Keep ﬁ ngers out of pinch point areas; clearances • between the doors and cabinets are necessarily small.

Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.

Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making •

any repairs.

If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use time • delay fuse.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that any service be

performed by a qualiﬁ ed technician.

DANGER

WARNING

CAUTION

WARNING

DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Before replacing a burned-out or broken light bulb, • unplug the refrigerator or turn o power at the circuit

breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live

wire ﬁ lament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when

being replaced, exposing the wire ﬁ lament.)

NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and

service should be performed by a qualiﬁ ed technician.

WARNING: Setting either or both controls to the OFF

position does not remove power to the light circuit.

When you are ﬁ nished, reconnect the refrigerator to • the electrical source and reset the controls (Thermostat,

Refrigerator Control, and or Freezer Control, depending

on the model) to the desired setting.

This refrigerator must be properly installed in • accordance with the Attention Installer Instructions that

were taped to the front of the refrigerator.

After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the • cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands

are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold

surfaces.

Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even

if they are sitting for only a few days. If you are getting

rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions

at right to help prevent accidents (child entrapment and

su ocation).

DO NOT touch the automatic ice making mechanism • while the refrigerator is plugged in.

DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed • completely. The United States Department of

Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have

thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are

still cold—below 39°F (4°C).

…Thawed ground meats, poultry or ﬁ sh that have any

o -odor or o -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,

dispose of it. The food may be dangerous to eat.

Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the

eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables

and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats

is a ected less than that of many other foods. Use

refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of

their quality as you can.

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY

YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR

OR FREEZER:

Take o the doors.• Leave the shelves in place so that • children may not easily climb inside.

WARNING : This product contains chemicals known to the State of

California to cause cancer.

Wash hands after handling.

CFC/HCFC DISPOSAL

ELECTRICAL & GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system

that used CFCs or HCFCs (chloroﬂ uorocarbons or

hydrochloroﬂ uorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are

believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the

atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to

the environment if released to the atmosphere.

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own

individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for

115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.

This provides the best performance and also prevents

overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a ﬁ re

hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a

separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Use a receptacle that cannot be turned o with a switch

or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.

Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered,

it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have

it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall

outlet.

Electrical Shock Hazard

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be

properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit

checked by a qualiﬁ ed electrician to make sure the

outlet is properly grounded.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make

sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal

by a qualiﬁ ed technician. If you intentionally release

refrigerant, you may be subject to ﬁ nes and imprisonment

under provisions of environmental legislation.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, the use of an extension cord is not

recommended. However, if you still elect to use an

extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-

listed (USA), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension

cord having a grounding type plug and outlet, and that

the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum)

and 120 volts.

Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance

needed for the back of the refrigerator.

10

INSTALLATION (continued)

1. To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be leveled

and installed on a solidly constructed ﬂ oor. If required,

adjust the leveling legs to compensate for unevenness

of the ﬂ oor. The front should be slightly higher than

the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be

turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the

leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to the right to

lower it. (See LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT.)

NOTE: Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces,

a platform or weakly supported structure is not

recommended.

2. Install this appliance in an area where the temperature

is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F (43°C). If the

temperature around the appliance is too low or high,

cooling ability may be adversely a ected.

3. Select a place where a water supply can be easily

connected for the automatic icemaker.

NOTE: The water pressure must be between 20 and

120 psi on models without a water ﬁ lter and between

40 and 120 psi on models with a water ﬁ lter.

4. Too small of a distance from adjacent items may

result in lowered freezing capability and increased

electricity consumption charges. Allow at least 24

inches (61 cm) in front of the refrigerator to open the

doors and at least 2 inches (5.08 cm) between the

back of the refrigerator and the wall.

PRIOR TO USE

1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe o all

dust that accumulated during shipping.

2. Install accessories such as the ice cube bin, drawers,

shelves, etc., in their proper places. They are packed

together to prevent possible damage during shipment.

3. Allow your refrigerator to run for at least two to three

hours before putting food in it. Check the ﬂ ow of

cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure proper

cooling. Your refrigerator is now ready for use.

INSTALLATION

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own

individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for

115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.

This provides the best performance and also prevents

overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a ﬁ re

hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a

separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
