DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
wwWARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injur when using our product, basic safet precautions
should be followed, including the following.
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
• NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from
the outlet.
• Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a
cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length
or at either the plug or connector end.
• Do not modify or extend the power cord length. It could
cause electric shock or fire.
• When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be
careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• DO NOT allow children to climb, stand, or hang on the
refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They could
damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.
• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between
the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful
closing doors when children are in the area.
• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any
repairs.
NOTE:We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the
refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse
box in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A
burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.)
NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and service
should be performed by a qualified technician.
• When you are finished, 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.
• This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance
with the Attention Installer Instructions that were taped to
the front of the refrigerator.
• After 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.
• 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 icemaking mechanism
while the refrigerator is plugged in.
• DO 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
°C.
…Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have any off-
odor or off-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 affected less than
that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as
possible to save as much of their quality as you can.

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
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 fire
hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with 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.
Do not, under an circumstances, cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation,
cleaning, or removing a light bulb, disconnect the
refrigerator from the electrical source.
NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and
service should be performed by a qualified technician.
When you are are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to
the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat,
Refrigerator Control, or Freezer Control, depending on the
model) to the desired setting.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safet hazards under certain
conditions, we strongl recommend against the use
of an extension cord. 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.
wwWARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be
properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
outlet is properly grounded.
3-prong

Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous…even
if they will sit for just 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
suffocation).
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY
YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR
OR FREEZER
•Take off the doors.
•Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm
stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure
the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified servicer. If you intentionally release this CFC
refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment
under provisions of environmental legislation.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.

INSTALLATION
• To minimize noise and vibration, the refrigerator MUST
be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not recommended.
• Never install the refrigerator on a platform or weakly
supported structure.
1. To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled. If required,
adjust the leveling legs to compensate for unevenness
of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the
rear to aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned
easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling
legs clockwise ( ) to raise the unit,
counterclockwise ( ) to lower it. (See Leveling and
Door Alignment on page 15.)
2. Install this appliance in an area where the temperature
is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F ( 3°C.) If the
temperature around the appliance is too low or high,
cooling ability may be adversely affected.
3. Too small a distance from adjacent items may result in
lowered freezing capability and increased electricity
consumption charges. Allow at least 2 inches (61 cm)
in front of the refrigerator to open the doors.
PRIOR TO USE
1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off all dust
accumulated during shipping.
2. Install accessories such as ice cube bin, drawers,
shelves, etc., in their proper places. They are packed
