FREEZERSAFETY
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.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your freezer, follow these basic precautions:
• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
• Do not remove ground prong.
• Do not use an adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Disconnect power before servicing.
• Replace all parts and panels before operating.
• Use nonflammable cleaner.
[] Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from freezer.
[] Use two or more people to move and install freezer.
[] Keep key away from children.
• Remove doors or lid from your old freezer or refrigerator.
[] Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker
kit ready models only).
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:
WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer.

Proper Disposal of
Your Old Freezer or Refrigerator
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors or lid from your old freezer or
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned freezers or refrigerators are still
dangerous.., even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are
getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow these
instructions to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Freezer or Refrigerator:
• Takeoff the doors or lid.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install freezer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Remove Packaging Materials
• Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the freezer. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the
adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your freezer. For more
information, see "Freezer Safety."
When Moving Your Freezer:
Your freezer is heavy. When moving the freezer for
cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard
or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the freezer
straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or "walk" the
freezer when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of
your freezer before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
"Freezer Care."
important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
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.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers
are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid
dropping.
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from freezer.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
IMPORTANT: Do not install the freezer near an oven, radiator, or
other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall
below 40°F (5°C).
Check the strength of the floor before installing your freezer. It
should hold the weight of a freezer fully loaded with food.
Allow at least 3" (7.5 cm) of air space at the top and on both sides
of the freezer and 1" (2.5 cm) between the back of the freezer and
the wall. If the freezer is to be against a wall, leave extra space on
the hinge side so the door can open wider.
NOTE: This freezer may be installed side by side with another
refrigerator or freezer. Allow for a 3" (7.5 cm) clearance at the top
and sides and a 1/4"(0.64 cm) clearance between the appliances.
3"(7.5cm)

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into agrounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Before you move your freezer into its final 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 freezer be provided. Use an outlet that
cannot be turned off by aswitch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn the Temperature Control to the OFF
position as shown and then disconnect the freezer from the
electrical source.
<1
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
• If you turn the freezer on before the water line is connected,
turn the ice maker OFE
• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
• Use plastic tubing and check for leaks. Install plastic tubing
only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.
TOOLS NEEDED: Flat-blade screwdriver, 7/le"and V2"open-end
wrenches or two adjustable wrenches, V4"nut driver, drill bit and a
cordless drill.
NOTE: Your freezer dealer has a kit available with a V4"(6.35 mm)
saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and plastic tubing. Before
purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your
local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or ¾e"
(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more
easily.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and
120 psi (207 to 827 kPa) is required to operate the water
dispenser and ice maker. Ifyou have questions about your water
pressure, see "Troubleshooting" or call a licensed, qualified
plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your
cold water supply, the water pressure to the system needs to be a
minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40
to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa), a booster pump can be inserted into
the small tubing that goes from the cold water line to the reverse
osmosis system.
If the water dispenser is still not dispensing water properly:
• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill
after heavy usage.
• If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the
water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse
osmosis system. Remove the water filter.
If you have questions about your water pressure, refer to
"Troubleshooting" or call a licensed, qualified plumber.
