SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precaufions should be followed, including the following:
This refrigerator must be properly installed
and lo(ated in accordan( e _fith tlle Installation
Instructions before it is used.
Do not allow chil&en to climb, stand or hang
on the shelves in tlle refiigerator. They (ouM
damage tlle refiigerator and seriously injure
thelilselves.
_Do not allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang
oil the Retieshlnent Center door, They o)uld
damage the refiigerator and inaybe even tip it
over, causing severe personal ill ju U.
Do not touch tile cold sufiilces in tile fleezer
(ompartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin
may sti(k to these extremely cold suffa( es.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the _4(inity of tllis or any
other applian(e.
In refiigerators with mltoma/ic icemakers,
avoid contact with tile m_)ving parts of tile
ejector mechanism, or with the heating element
that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or
hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism
while the refiigerator is plugged in.
Keep fingers out of tile "pinch point" areas;
cle_uances between tile doors and between
tile doors and cabinet are necessarily small.
Be careflfl closing doors when chiMren are
in tile area.
Unplug tile refligevaU)r befi)re cleaning and
making repairs.
NOTE:Westrongly recommendthatanyservicingbe performed
by a quafified individual.
Turning tile control to tile OFFer0position does
not remove power to tile light circuit.
Do not refleeze flozen fi)ods which have
thawed (ompletely.

CFCDisposal
Your oM refrigerator has a cooling system fllat used
CFCs (dflorofluorocarbons). (FCs are believed to
harm stratospheri( ozone.
If you me throwing away your oM refrigerator, make
sure the CFC refiigerant is rem{)ved fin proper

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS
Because ofpotential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord.
H{)wever, if}_m Illust use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessmy that it be a UI Aisted (in tile United
States) or a (SA certified (in (anada), 3-wire grounding/ype appliance extension cord having a groun(fing
/ype plug and outlet and that the elecuical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 vohs. 3

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 pc)wet cord of this appliance is equipped xfith a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard 3-pr(mg (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of elecuic shock hazard
fiom this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified eledrMan to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
Where a standmd 2-prong wall outlet is
eno)untered, it is}x)ur personal responsibility and
obligaoon m have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The refiigerator should always be plugged into its
own indMdual electrical outlet which has a vohage
rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides tlle best performance and also
prm,ents overloading house _firing cir(uits whidl
could cause a fire hazard flom overheated wires.
Never unplug your refiigemtor by pulling on the
power (ord. Ahvays grip plug firlnly and pull suaight
out fiom the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become fiayed or otheiwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
When moving the refrigerator away flom the
wall, be (_uefhl not to roll over or damage the
power (ord.
USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(Ad_pte_plug_,otpe_mittedinCa,ada)
Because ofpotential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an adapter plug.
H{)wever, if you must use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a temporaryconnectionmay be made
to a properly gr{)unded 2-prong w:dl outlet by use
ofa UI Aisted adaptor available at most local
hardware stores.
The larger slot in tile adapter must be aligned with
the larger slot in the wall outlet to proxdde proper
polarity in the connection of the power coid.
When disconnecting the power cord flom the
a(hpter, always hold the adapter in place with one
hand while pulling the power cord plug with the
other hand. If this is not done, the adapter gr{)llnd
terminal is veIy likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DONOTUSE
file refiigerator until a proper ground hasbeen
established.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a waft outlet
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the
cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the waft
outlet is grounded through the house wiring Youshould
have the circuit checkedby a qualified electric&n to make
sure the outlet is propedy groundec_

Important FactsAbout YourDispenser
Add ke before filling tile glass x_4tlla
beverage.
Do not add ice fiom trays or bags to
tile storage bin. It may not _rush or
dispense well.
:, Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of
nmrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice
can jmn the chute or cause the (loot in
the chute to fleeze shut. If ice is blocking
tile chum, poke it tim)ugh with a xw)oden
spoon.
:, Beverages and foods shouM not be
quick-chilled in the ice storage bin.
Cans, bottles or food packages in the
storage bin may cause the icemaker or
auger to jmn.
:, Some crushed ice may be dispensed even
though you selected CUBEDICEThis
happens occasionally when a taw cubes
acddentally get directed to the crasher.
After crushed ice is dispensed, some
water may &ip fiotn the dmte.
:, Sometimes a m()und of snow will turin on
the <loot in the ice chute. This condition
is nortnal and umally o((urs when you
have dispensed crashed ice repeatedly.
Tile snowxdll evenulally evaporate.
Dispensed water is not ice coM. For
