IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For your Safety

• DO NOT store or use gasoline, or other

ammableliquidsinthevicinityofthisor

any other appliance. Read product labels

forwarningsregardingammabilityand

other hazards.

• DO NOT operate the refrigerator in the

presence of explosive fumes.

• Avoid contact with any moving parts of

automatic ice maker.

• Remove all staples from the carton.

Staples can cause severe cuts, and also

destroynishesiftheycomeincontact

with other appliances or furniture.

WARNING

Please read all instructions before using this

refrigerator.

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.

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.

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 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.

WARNING

These guidelines must be followed to ensure

that safety mechanisms in this refrigerator

will operate properly.

IMPORTANT

Turning the Refrigerator controls to “0” 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.

Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers

We strongly encourage responsible appliance

recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility

company or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle 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.

IMPORTANT

CFC/HCFC Disposal

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling

system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chloro-

uorocarbonsorhydrochlorouorocarbons).

CFCs and HCFCs are believed to harm

stratospheric ozone if released to the atmo-

sphere. Other refrigerants may also cause

harm to the environment if released to the

atmosphere.

If you are throwing away your old refrigera-

tor, make sure the refrigerant is removed

forproperdisposalbyaqualiedtechnician.

If you intentionally release refrigerant, you

maybesubjecttonesandimprisonment

under provisions of environmental legisla-

tion.

FEATURES AT A GLANCE

Features may vary according to model

IMPORTANT

Cleaning your Refrigerator

Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator. Rub a small

amountofliquiddishsoapovertheadhesivewithyourngers.Rinsewithwarmwaterand

dry with a soft cloth.

Donotusesharpinstruments,rubbingalcohol,ammableuids,orabrasivecleanersto

remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator.

After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before us-

ing it. See the “Care & Cleaning” section in this manual.

See important information about cleaning glass shelves and covers in the “Optional Features”

section of this manual.

IMPORTANT

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to

covertheoorwithcardboardorhardboardtoavoidoordamage.Alwayspulltherefrigera-

tor straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the refrigerator when trying to move

itasoordamagecouldoccur.

INSTALLATION

NOTE

If your refrigerator is placed with the door

hinge side against a wall, you may have to

allow additional space for the handle so the

door can be opened wider.

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.

Installation

Installation clearances

• Allow the following clearances for ease

of installation, proper air circulation, and

plumbing and electrical connections:

 Sides&Top ⅜inch

Back 1 inch

2. Attach toe grille to cabinet.

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).

some models

NOTE

In case of future door reversals, save the

toe grille cover not being used.

CAUTION

Do not block the toe grille on the lower front

ofyourrefrigerator.Sufcientaircirculation

refrigerator.

• Doors should align with each other and be

level.

To install the toe grille:

1. The toe grille is packaged with the covers

installed. Remove the cover on the side

corresponding with the door hinge bracket.

installed according to the

instructions in your Use &

Care Manual. Failure to do

so will result in injury.

You MUST move the anti-tip bracket to align

with the hinges of the door. Failure to do so

will result in injury.

NOTE

Raise the front of the refrigerator enough so

the doors close freely when opened halfway.

The refrigerator should slope ¼ inch to ½

inch from front-to-back. Then level the refrig-

erator from side-to-side.

To level the cabinet using the front

rollers:

1 Remove the toe grille.

 2 Useaat-bladescrewdriveror⅜inch
