WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from appliance.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.
IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor,
household use only.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 1"
(2.54 cm) of space on each side, 2" (5.08 cm) of space behind
the refrigerator, and open at the top.
NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location
where the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F
(13°C) to a maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred
room temperature range for optimum performance,
which reduces electricity usage and provides superior
cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C). It is
recommended that you do not install the refrigerator
near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove the ground prong from the power
cord plug.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire or
electrical shock.
Before you move your refrigerator into its nal location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 volt, 60 Hz, AC only 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided.
Use an outlet that cannot be turned o by a switch. Do not
use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or
cleaning, disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical
source. When you are nished, reconnect the

REMOVE PACKAGING
•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. Wipe with
warm water and dry.
NOTE: 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. For more
information, see “Refrigerator Safety.”
•Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
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 refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle
or “walk” the refrigerator when trying to move it, as oor
damage could occur.
CLEAN BEFORE USING
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the
inside of the refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning
instructions in “Refrigerator Care.”
Important information to know about glass shelves,
covers and door panels (on some models):
•Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water
when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if
exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact,
such as bumping. Glass shelves and covers are heavy.
Use special care when removing them to avoid impact
from dropping.
•Do not hit the glass door panels with pots, pans,
furniture, toys or other objects. Scratching, hitting,
jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure,
causing an increased likelihood of breakage at a later
date.
•For your protection, tempered glass is designed to
shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is
normal.
STEP 2 - MAKE ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove the ground prong from the power
cord plug.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire or
electrical shock.
•Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
NOTE: This refrigerator begins operating as soon as it is
connected to the power supply.
STEP 3 - LEVELING AND DOOR
ADJUSTMENT (IF NEEDED)
The refrigerator must be level to maintain optimal
performance and appearance.
STEP 3 - LEVELING
1. Move the refrigerator to its nal location.
2. Turn the leg on the bottom, front of the cabinet to raise
or lower that side of the refrigerator until the
refrigerator is level side-to-side.
3. Turn both front legs, by the same amount, to slightly
raise the front of the refrigerator. This will make it easier
for the doors to close.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight o the leveling
screws. This makes it easier to turn the screws.
ALIGNING DOORS
If the edges of the refrigerator doors do not align with each
other, you can make adjustments:
Adjust the Leveling Legs:
•Turn the leveling leg to raise or lower that side of the
refrigerator.

EXIGENCES D'INSTALLATION
EXIGENCES D’EMPLACEMENT
Risque d'explosion
Garder les matériaux et les vapeurs inflammables, telles
que l'essence, loin de l’appareil.
Le non-respect de cette instruction peut causer un
décès, une explosion ou un incendie.
AVERTISSEMENT
IMPORTANT : Ce réfrigérateur est conçu pour un usage
domestique, à l’intérieur uniquement.

dans un endroit où la température est comprise entre un
minimum de 55°F (13°C) et un maximum de 110°F (43°C).
La plage de température ambiante idéale pour une
performance optimale est comprise entre 60°F (15°C) et
90°F (32°C). Respecter cette plage de température
permet aussi de réduire la consommation d’électricité et
d’optimiser l’ecacité du refroidissement. Il est
recommandé de ne pas installer le réfrigérateur près
d’une quelconque source de chaleur, telle qu’un four ou
un radiateur.

SPÉCIFICATIONS ÉLECTRIQUES
Risque de choc électrique
Brancher sur une prise à 3 alvéoles reliée à la terre.
Ne pas enlever la broche de liaison à la terre du cordon
d'alimentation.
Ne pas utiliser un adaptateur.
Ne pas utiliser un câble de rallonge.
Le non-respect de cette instruction pourrait causer un
décès, un incendie ou un choc électrique.
AVERTISSEMENT
Avant de déplacer le réfrigérateur à son emplacement nal, il
est important de vous assurer d’avoir le raccordement
électrique approprié.
Méthode recommandée de liaison à la terre
Chaque appareil doit être alimenté par un circuit 115 volts
(CA seulement, 60 Hz) relié à la terre et protégé par un
fusible de capacité 15 A ou 20 A. Il est recommandé d’utiliser
un circuit distinct pour alimenter le réfrigérateur
uniquement. Utiliser une prise de courant dont l’alimentation
ne peut pas être interrompue par un interrupteur. Ne pas
utiliser de rallonge.
REMARQUE : Avant d’exécuter tout type d’installation,
nettoyage ou remplacement d’une ampoule d’éclairage,
déconnecter le réfrigérateur de la source de courant
électrique. Une fois l’opération terminée, reconnecter le
réfrigérateur à la source de courant électrique et
remettre les commandes de température au
réglage désiré.
INSTRUCTIONS D'INSTALLATION
ÉTAPE 1 - DÉBALLAGE DU
RÉFRIGÉRATEUR
Risque du poids excessif
Utiliser deux ou plus de personnes pour déplacer et
installer le réfrigérateur.
Le non-respect de cette instruction peut causer une
blessure au dos ou d'autres blessures.
AVERTISSEMENT
AVERTISSEMENT
Risque de bris de verre
Ne pas heurter les portes en verre du réfrigérateur.
Protéger la surface et les rebords de verre durant
l'installation ou la dépose des portes.
Le non-respect de cette instruction peut entraîner de
graves blessures aux yeux ou de légères coupures.
RETRAIT DES MATÉRIAUX D’EMBALLAGE
•Enlever tout résidu de ruban adhésif et de colle des
surfaces du réfrigérateur avant de le mettre en marche.
Frotter une petite quantité de savon liquide à vaisselle sur
l’adhésif avec les doigts. Rincer à l’eau tiède et sécher.
REMARQUE : Ne pas utiliser d’instruments coupants,
d’alcool à friction, de liquides inammables ou de
nettoyants abrasifs pour enlever le ruban adhésif ou
la colle. Ces produits peuvent endommager la
surface du réfrigérateur. Pour plus de
renseignements, voir “Sécurité du réfrigérateur”.
•Jeter/recycler tous les matériaux d’emballage.
Lors du déplacement de votre réfrigérateur :
Votre réfrigérateur est lourd. Lors du déplacement de
votre réfrigérateur pour le nettoyage ou un entretien ou
réparation, veiller à recouvrir le plancher avec du carton ou
un panneau de bre dur pour éviter qu’il ne subisse tout
dommage. Toujours tirer le réfrigérateur tout droit lors du
déplacement. Ne pas incliner le réfrigérateur d’un côté ou
de l’autre ni le “faire marcher” en essayant de le déplacer
car le sol pourrait êtreendommagé.
NETTOYAGE AVANT UTILISATION
Après avoir enlevé tous les matériaux d’emballage,
nettoyer l’intérieur du réfrigérateur avant de l’utiliser. Voir les
instructions de nettoyage dans “Entretien du réfrigérateur”.

FRANÇAIS

Informations importantes à propos des tablettes,
couvercles en verre, et panneaux de porte (sur certains
modèles) :
•Ne pas nettoyer les tablettes ou couvercles en verre
avec de l’eau tiède quand ils sont froids. Les tablettes
et les couvercles peuvent se briser s’ils sont exposés à
des changements soudains de température ou à un
impact tel que coup brusque. Les tablettes et les
couvercles en verre sont lourds. Prenez des
précautions lors de leur dépose an d’éviter qu’elles ne
subissent un impact en tombant.
•Ne pas cogner de casseroles, poêles, meubles, jouets
ou autres objets contre le verre. Le fait de donner des
coups contre le verre, de l’éraer, le secouer ou
d’exercer une pression dessus peut fragiliser sa
structure et le rendre plus susceptible de se briser
ultérieurement.
•Pour votre propre protection, le verre trempé est
conçu pour éclater en d’innombrables pièces
minuscules. Ceci est normal.
ÉTAPE 2 - RACCORDEMENT
ÉLECTRIQUE
Risque de choc électrique
Brancher sur une prise à 3 alvéoles reliée à la terre.
Ne pas enlever la broche de liaison à la terre du cordon
d'alimentation.
Ne pas utiliser un adaptateur.
Ne pas utiliser un câble de rallonge.
Le non-respect de cette instruction pourrait causer un
décès, un incendie ou un choc électrique.
AVERTISSEMENT
•Brancher sur une prise à 3 alvéoles reliée à la terre.
REMARQUE : Ce réfrigérateur se met en marche dès
qu’il est branché à la source d’alimentation.
ÉTAPE 3 - NIVELLEMENT ET
AJUSTEMENT DES PORTES (SI
NÉCESSAIRE)
Le réfrigérateur doit être d’aplomb pour une performance et
un aspect optimaux.
ÉTAPE 3 - NIVELLEMENT
1. Déplacer le réfrigérateur jusqu’à son emplacement
dénitif.
2. Tourner les pieds situés en bas et à l’avant de la caisse
pour élever ou abaisser le réfrigérateur, jusqu’à ce que le
réfrigérateur soit d’aplomb dans le sens transversal.
3. Tourner les deux pieds avant d’une manière identique
pour élever légèrement l’avant du réfrigérateur. Cela
permettra de fermer plus facilement les portes.
REMARQUE : Le fait d’exercer une pression contre
le dessus du réfrigérateur permet d’alléger le poids
appliqué aux vis de nivellement. Ceci facilite le
réglage des vis.
ALIGNEMENT LES PORTES
Des réglages sont nécessaires si les bords des portes du
réfrigérateur ne sont pas parfaitement alignés.
Réglage des pieds de nivellement :
•Tourner le pied de nivellement pour soulever ou abaisser
le côté du réfrigérateur qui doit être ajusté.
•Dans le sens horaire : pour soulever
•Dans le sens antihoraire : pour abaisser
Au moyen des entretoises (fournies)
•Ouvrir la porte. En gardant la porte ouverte, soulever la
porte vers le haut.
•À la main ou au moyen d’une pince, emboiter l’entretoise
(fournie) sur l’axe de charnière centrale.
