WARNING
DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
vBefore replacing a burned-out or broken light bulb,
unplug the refrigerator or turn oçpower at the circuit
breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a
live wire olament. (A burned-out light bulb may break
when being replaced exposing the wire olament.)
NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and
service should be performed by a qualioed technician.
WARNING: Setting either or both controls to the OFF
position does not remove power to the light circuit.
vWhen you are onished, reconnect the refrigerator to
the electrical source and reset the controls (Thermostat,
Refrigerator Control, and or Freezer Control, depending
on the model) to the desired setting.
vThis refrigerator must be properly installed in
accordance with the Attention Installer Instructions
that were taped to the front of the refrigerator.
vAfter your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the
cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands
are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely
cold surfaces.
vDO NOT touch the automatic ice making mechanism
while the refrigerator is plugged in.
-unked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even
if they are sitting for only a few days. If you are getting
rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions
at right to help prevent accidents (child entrapment and
suçocation).
vDO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely. The United States Department of
Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:
{You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have
thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are
still coldbelow 39£F (4£C).
{Thawed ground meats, poultry or osh that have any
oç-odor or oç-color should not be refrozen and should
not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded.
If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable,
dispose of it. The food may be dangerous to eat.
Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the
eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables
and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats
is açected less than that of many other foods. Use
refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of
their quality as you can.
vThis product is not to be used for special purposes such
as the storage of medicine or test materials or for use
on ships, etc.
vDo not strike or apply excessive force to any glass
surface. Do not touch glass surfaces if they are cracked
or broken.
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY
YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR
OR FREEZER:
vTake oçthe doors.
vLeave the shelves in place so that
children may not easily climb inside.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), which is combustible. When
transporting and installing the appliance, care must be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating
circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak
is detected, avoid any naked pames or potential sources of ignition and open room doors or windows
for several minutes to allow fresh air to pow into the room.
In order to avoid the creation of a pammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit
occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance is installed depends on the amount of refrigerant
used. The room must be 10.8 square feet (1 square meter) in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant
inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the
identiocation plate inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If
in doubt, consult your dealer.

7
CFC/HCFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs or HCFCs (chloropuorocarbons or
hydrochloropuorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the
atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to
the environment if released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make
sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal
by a qualioed technician. If you intentionally release
refrigerant, you may be subject to ones and imprisonment
under provisions of environmental legislation.
ELECTRICAL & GROUNDING RE4UIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be
properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the
circuit checked by a qualioed electrician to make
sure the outlet is properly grounded.
3-prong
grounding type
wall receptacle
3-prong
grounding
plug
Ensure proper
ground exists
before use.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for
115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a ore
hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle that cannot be turned oçwith a switch
or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall
outlet.
USE OF E;TENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, the use of an extension cord is not
recommendedHowever, if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-
listed (USA), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension
cord having a grounding type plug and outlet, and that
the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum)
and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator.

REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION

LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT
Leveling
After installing, plug the refrigerator’s power cord into a
3-prong grounded outlet and push the refrigerator into
the onal position.
Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs—one on the
right and one on the left. Adjust the legs to alter the tilt
from front-to-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator
seems unsteady, or you want the doors to close more
easily, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions
below:
NOTE: Tools Required: 11/16" wrench or pat blade
screwdriver.
1Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of
the refrigerator or to the right to lower it. It may take
several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the
refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push backward against the top
of the refrigerator takes some weight oçof the leveling
legs. This makes it easier to adjust the legs.
 Open both doors again and check to make sure that
they close easily. If the doors do not close easily, tilt
the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning
both leveling legs to the left. It may take several more
turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same
amount.
NOTE: Your refrigerator is uniquely designed with
two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or
closed independently of the other. You may have to
exert slight pressure on the doors to get them to close
completely.
Door Alignment
The left refrigerator door has an adjustable nut, located
on the bottom hinge, to raise and lower the door for
proper alignment.
If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the
instructions below to align the doors.
Use the wrench (included with the Use & Care Guide) to
turn the nut in the door hinge to adjust the height.
Turn the nut right to raise the door or left to lower it.
