WARNING

DANGER

CAUTION

 This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance

with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

 Unplug the refrigerator before making repairs, replacing a

light bulb, or cleaning.

Note: Power to the refrigerator cannot be disconnected by

any setting on the control panel.

Note: Repairs must be performed by a qualified Service

Professional.

 Do not try to replace a burned-out LED light. An authorized

technician will need to replace the LED lights.

 Replace all parts and panels before operating.

 Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

 Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an

extension cord. However, if you must use an extension cord,

it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United

States) or a CSA certified (in Canada), 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.

 Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the door

bins in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator

and seriously injure themselves.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury when using your

refrigerator follow these basic safety precautions:

WARNING

REFRIGERATOR SAFETY INFORMATION

 Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when

they are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if exposed

to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping

or dropping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many

small pieces if it breaks.

 Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas; clearances

between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are

necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in

the area.

 Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment

when hands are damp or wet, skin may stick to these

extremely cold surfaces.

 Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.

 In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact with

the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating

element that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands

on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator

is plugged in.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic

safety precautions.

CAUTION

WARNING

Explosion Hazard.

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can

result in fire, explosion, or death.

INSTALLATION

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:

WARNING

This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth

defects or other reproductive harm.

All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under

federal law must be removed prior to product disposal. If you

are getting rid of an old refrigeration product, check with the

company handling the disposal about what to do.

WARNING

R600a Refrigerant

This appliance contains isobutane refrigerant, R600a, a

natural gas with high environmental compatibility. However

it is also combustible. Please adhere to the warnings below:

1) When handling, installing and operating the appliance, care

should be taken to avoid damage to the refrigerant tubing.

2) Servicing shall be performed by factory-authorized service

personnel and component parts shall be replaced with

manufacturer-authorized replacement components.

3) Refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under

federal law must be removed prior to product disposal.

4) Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosures or in

the built-in structure clear of obstruction.

5) Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate

the defrosting process.

6) Do not damage refrigerant circuit.

7) Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage

compartment of the appliance.

,03257$176$)(7<,16758&7,216

CONNECTING ELECTRICITY

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet

Do not remove the ground prong

Do not use an adapter

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard

3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the

possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified

electrician to make sure the outlet is properly

grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,

it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have

it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall

outlet. Do not use an adapter.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own

individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating

that matches the rating plate.

A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded

electrical supply is required. This provides the best

performance and also prevents overloading house

wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from

overheated wires.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power

cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from

the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that

have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not

use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either end.

When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be

careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR

REFRIGERANTS

WARNING

Suffocation and child entrapment hazard.

Remove fresh-food and freezer doors from the refrigerator, prior to disposal. Failure to do so can result

in child entrapment which can lead to death or brain damage.

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems

of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are

still dangerous even if they will sit for “just a few

days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator,

please follow the instructions below to help prevent

accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator:

 Take off the door/drawers.

 Leave the shelves in place so that children may not

easily climb inside.

– A water dripping sound may occur during the defrost cycle as ice

melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.

– The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may make a

gurgling sound like boiling water.

– Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping or

buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.

– You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is

first plugged in or during/after the defrost cycle. This happens as the

refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.

– The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when

attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).

– The electronic control board may cause a clicking sound when relays

activate to control refrigerator components.

– Ice cubes dropping into the bin and water running in pipes as

icemaker refills.

– The icemaker water valve will buzz when the icemaker fills with water.

MOISTURE • Too frequent or too long door openings.

COLLECTS INSIDE • In humid weather, air carries moisture into refrigerator when doors

are opened.

• Lower drawer switched from (freezer) to chill or wine.

REFRIGERATOR • Foods with strong odors should be tightly covered.

HAS ODOR • Check for spoiled food.

• Interior needs cleaning. See Care and Cleaning.

INTERIOR LIGHTS • No power at outlet.

DO NOT WORK • LEDs need replacing. See Consumer Service Section.

• The Sabbath Mode may be operating. Turn off Sabbath Mode.

DOOR DIFFICULT TO • Tight door seal is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
