safety precautions:
•This refrigerator must be properly
installed and located in
accordance with the installation
instructions before it is used.
•Unplug the refrigerator before
making repairs or cleaning.
NOTE: Repairs must be
performed by a qualified service
professional.
•Replace all parts and panels
before operating.
•Do not use an extension cord.
•Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
•Do not store explosive substances
such as aerosol cans with a
flammable propellant in this
appliance.
•To prevent suffocation and
entrapment hazards to children,
remove the fresh food and
freezer doors from any
refrigerator before disposing of it
or discontinuing its use.
•To avoid serious injury or death,
children should not stand on, or
play in or with the appliance.
•Children and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge can
use this appliance only if they are
supervised or have been given
instructions on safe use and
understand the hazards involved.
•This appliance is intended to be
used in household and similar
applications such as: staff kitchen
areas in shops, offices and other
working environments; farm
houses; by clients in hotels,
motels, bed & breakfast and
other residential environments;
catering and similar non-retail
applications.
•Do not apply harsh cleaners to
the refrigerator. Certain cleaners
will damage plastic which may
cause parts such as the door or
door handles to detach
unexpectedly.
•Connect to potable water supply
only. A cold water supply is
required for automatic icemaker
operation. The water pressure
must be between 30 - 100 psi
(207 - 700 kPa).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION To reduce the risk of injury when using your
refrigerator, follow these basic safety precautions:
•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.
•Do not use a hair dryer to dry the
inside of the refrigerator.
•Do not light a candle to remove
odors in the refrigerator.
•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.
•Use caution consuming popsicles
or ice cubes straight from the
freezer as this can cause freezer
burn to the mouth and lips.
•Do not touch the cold surfaces in
the freezer compartment when
hands are damp or wet, skin may
stick to these extremely cold
surfaces.
•Don't store bottled or canned
drinks (especially carbonated
drinks) in the freezer
compartment. Bottles and cans
may explode.
•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.
INSTALLATION
WARNING FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from
refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING ELECTRICITY
WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not remove the ground prong.
Do not use an adapter or an extension cord.
Failure to do so 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 110~115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase, 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.
•Immediately discontinue use of a
damaged supply cord. If the
supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by a qualified service
professional with an authorized
service part from the
manufacturer.
•When moving the refrigerator
away from the wall, be careful
not to roll over or damage the
power cord.

appliance enclosures or in the
built-in structure clear of
obstruction.
•To remove frost, scrape with a
plastic or wood spatula or
scraper. Do not use an ice pick or
a metal or sharp-edged

WARNING EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD
•Use two or more people to move and install the refrigerator. Failure to
do so can result in back injury or other injury.
•The refrigerator is heavy. Protect the floor when moving the
refrigerator for cleaning or service. Always pull the refrigerator straight

UNPACKING THE REFRIGERATOR

13
CHOOSING THE PROPER LOCATION
WATER
The refrigerator must be located where a water supply can be connected for
the water dispenser and the icemaker.
NOTE:
•The water pressure must be 30 - 100 psi or 207 - 700 kPa. If the
refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 30
psi or 207 kPa), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the
low pressure.
•Turn the icemaker OFF if the refrigerator will be used before or without
the water line is connected.
ELECTRICITY
Use an individual, grounded outlet: 110 - 115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC, Single Phase
NOTE:
•Do not overload house wiring and cause a fire hazard by plugging in
multiple appliances in the same outlet with the refrigerator.
•To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the refrigerator in a
wet or damp area.
•If the voltage fluctuates exceeding the upper limit, A.C. automatic
voltage regulator of more than 350W should be applied to the
refrigerator for safety use.
FLOORING
For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed on a level surface of
hard material that is the same height as the rest of the flooring. This surface
should be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator. If required,
adjust the leveling legs to compensate for the unevenness of the floor.
