SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

This refi-igerator must be properly installed

and located in accordance with the Installation

Instructions before it is used.

Do not allow children to climb, st;rod or hang

on the shelves in the reti_igerato_: They could

damage the refrigerator and seriously iqjm'e

themselves.

Do not touch the cold suYti_ces in the fl'eezer

compartment when hands are damp or wet.

Skin may stick to these extremely cold sm_hces,

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

\_q)o_ and liquids in the vicinity of this or any

other appliance.

In refl_igerato_ with automatic icemake_,

avoid contact with the moving parts of the

ejector mechanism, or with the heating element

located on the bottom of the icemake_: Do not

place finge_ or hands on the atltoi//ati('

icemaking mechanism while the refl-igerator is

plugged in.

Keep finget_ out ot the "pinch point" areas;

clearances between the doo_ and between

the doo_ and cabinet are necessarily small.

Be caretul closing doo_ when children are

in the area.

Unplug the refrigerator betore cleaning and

making repairs.

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against

the use of an extension cord.

However; if_ou must use an extension cord, it is absolutel) necessm) that it be a IUI,-listed (in the United

Stntes) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grotmding type appliance extension cord having a grotmding

type I)lu°_ and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 xolts.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION.

READALLINSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING.

WARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

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 nlates with a

standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to

minimize the possibili b' of electric shock hazard

from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualNed electridan to make sure the outlet is

propedy 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.

The refl-igerator should always be plugged into its

own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage

rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides tile best pe_fimnance and also

I)rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which

could cause a fire hazard from oxerheated wires.

Never unplug your refl-igerator by pulling on tile

power cord. Mways grip i)lug firefly and pull

straight out ti'oln tile outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that

have become fl'ayed or otherwise damaged. Do not

use a cord that sho_:s cracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either end.

\4lien moving tile refi-igerator away from tile

wall, be carefld not to roll over or damage the

power cord.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(Adapterplug_,otpermittedinCanadaJ

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against

the use of an adapter plug.

Howe\'et; if )_)u must use an adapter; where local

codes i)e_nit, a temporary connection ma) be made

to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use

of a UiAisted adapter a\:filable at most local

hardware stores.

Tile larger slot in tile adapter must be aligned with

tile larger slot in tile wall outlet to provide proper

polarity in tile connection of tile power cord.

When disconnecting tile power cord fl'om tile

a(lapte_; always hold tile adapter in place with one

hand while pulling tile power cord i)lug with tile

other hand. If this is not done, tile adapter ground

te_ninal is very likely to break with repeated use.

If tile adapter ground temfinal brealcs, DO NOTUSE

tile refl'ioerator,_ until a l)r°l ,)er ground has been

established.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet

cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the

cover screw is metal, not insulated, and the wall outlet is

grounded through the house wking Youshould have the

circuit checked bya quadded electrician to make sure the

outlet is properly grounded.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.

Cleaning the Outside

The door handles and trim (on sonle

models). Clean with acloth (lmnl)ened

with soapy water. Dry with asoti cloth.

Keep the outside clean. Wipe with aclean

cloth lightly danq)ened with kitchen

appliance wax or mild liquid dish

detergent. Dry and polish with aclean,

soii cloth.

The stainless steel panels and door handles

(oil s()ine models) can be cleaned with

acommercially ;mfilable stainless steel

cleaner. Do not use appliance wax or

polish on the stainless steel,

Do not wipe the refr/_Teratorwith a soiled dish

cloth or wet towel Thesemay leave a residue

that can erode the paint Do not use scouring

pads,powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners

containing bleach because these products can

scratch and weaken the paint f/bish.

Cleaning the Inside

Tohelp prevent odors, leave an o[)en bo×

of baking soda in tile fresh food and

fl'eezer coil/l)_l Ytil/ents,

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.

If this is not pra(tical, wring excess

i/loisttlre ()lit of sponge or cloth when

cleaning around switches, lights or

contFols.

Use warn/water and baking soda solution-

about a tablespoon (15 ml) of ba king soda

to aquart (l liter) (If water. This both

cleans and neutralizes odm_. Rinse and

wipe dry.

After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a

thin laver of petroleum .jelly to the door

gaskets at the hinge side. This helps kee I)

tile gaskets from sticking and bending

out of shape.

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves (on some

models) with hot water because the extreme

temperature difference may cause them to

break. Handle glass shelves carefully Bumping

tempered glass can cause it to shatter

Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in

the dishwashe_

Cleaning the condenser coils.

Condenser

There is no need for routine condenser

cleaning in normal home operating

environillents. However, in eiivii'(lililleilts

that may be particularly dusty or greasy,

the condenser should be cleaned

periodically for efficient refl'igerator

operation.

To clean tile condensei; turn tile
