APPLIANCE SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read
and obey all safety messages.
This is the Safety Alert Symbol. The symbol alerts you to potential hazards that
can kill or injure you and others. All safety messages will follow the Safety
Alert Symbol and either the words "DANGER" or "WARNING".
DANGER means that failure to heed this safety
statement may result in severe personal injury or
death.
WARNING means that failure to heed this safety
statement may result in extensive product
damage, serious personal injury, or death.
All safety messages will alert you about the potential hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,
and let you know what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Before the appliance is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as
described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock or injury when using the appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
•Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do
not use an extension cord.
•Replace all panels before operating.
•It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your appliance be provided. Use receptacles
that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
•Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
•Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is
disconnected. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.
•Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
•Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in
this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
•This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities of Isobutane (R600a) which is
environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it increase the
greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance that no
parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the eyes.
•In the event of any damage:
oAvoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,
oDisconnect from the electrical power line,
oAir the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes, and
oContact the Service Department for advice.
•The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of
a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up.

4
For every ounce of coolant at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The amount of coolant in
the appliance is stated on the data plate on the back of the appliance. It is hazardous for anyone
other than an Authorized Service Person to carry out servicing or repairs to this appliance.
•Take serious care when handling, moving, and using the appliance to avoid either damaging the
refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.
FOLLOW WARNING CALLOUTS BELOW ONLY WHEN APPLICABLE TO YOUR MODEL
•This unit is intended FOR INDOOR USE ONLY.
•Use two or more people to move and install appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other
injury.
•To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, at least 4 inches (100mm) of space should be kept
between the back of the unit and the wall to allow proper air circulation to cool the compressor and
condenser. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and below 90°F
(32°C) (The optimal operating range is between 72º and 78ºF, or 23º to 26ºC.) This unit must be
installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
•The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
•Never place heavy objects or items containing water on top of the unit. Spilled water could deteriorate
the insulation of electrical components and result in electrical leakage.
•The appliance must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in accordance with
state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
•Do not throw items onto the shelves and do not place items totaling more than 65 lbs. on each shelf.
The shelf could fall, possibly causing injury.
•Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the appliance.
•The size of the fuse (or circuit breaker) should be 15 amperes.
•It is important that the appliance be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several
adjustments to level it.
•All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
•Make certain that the pipes are not pinched, kinked or damaged during installation.
•Check for leaks after connection.
•Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance.
•Do not allow anyone to hang from the door or climb onto the unit. The unit could tip over and fall,
causing material damage and injury.
•Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may damage
or discolor the interior.
•This appliance is intended for storage and display of beverages for sale. Use this appliance only for
its intended purpose.
•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.
Risk of child entrapment!
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still
dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days”.
Before discarding your old refrigerator:
•Take off the doors
•Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
•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. The surface should be strong enough to support a
fully loaded refrigerator.
•The rollers are not casters and should only be used for forward or backward movement. Moving
the refrigerator sideways may damage your floor and the rollers.
Locating your Appliance
•In order to improve the efficiency of the cooling system and save energy, it is necessary to
maintain good ventilation around the appliance for the dissipation of heat. For this reason,
sufficient clear space should be available around the refrigerator.

allow the refrigerant to flow back into the compressor.
•This appliance is intended for freestanding installation. Please allow these minimum clearances
to ensure the best operation and proper ventilation:
o1” on the side (and even more space to allow the doors to open wider than their width to
make it easier to remove shelves and storage bins)
o1” at the rear
o1” at the top
CAUTION: Be sure that airflow at the bottom of the appliance is not blocked.
•Place the appliance in a room with an ambient temperature between 50°F and 90°F. The
refrigerator may not work properly if it is left in temperatures above or below the indicated
temperature range.
Leveling your Appliance
For sufficient leveling and air circulating in the lower rear area of your appliance, the bottom feet may
be adjusted. You may adjust them manually by hand or by using a suitably sized wrench. To allow
the doors to self-close, tilt the appliance backwards by 10-15mm (1/3” – 2/3”).
NOTE: You may lay the refrigerator on its back in order to gain access to the base, you should rest it
on soft foam packaging or similar material to avoid damaging the backboard of the refrigerator.
