To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons when using your product,
basic safety 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 fir ly and pull it
straight out fro the outlet.
• Repair or replace i ediately all electric service
cords that have beco e frayed or otherwise

• When oving your refrigerator away fro the wall,
be careful not to roll over or da age the power cord.
• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other fla able
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
• DO NOT allow children to cli b, stand, or hang on
the refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator.
They could da age the refrigerator and seriously
injure the selves.
• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances
between the doors and cabinet are necessarily
s all. Be careful closing doors when children are
in the area.
• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or aking
any repairs.
NOTE: Service should be perfor ed by a qualified
technician.
• 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
fila ent. (A burned-out light bulb ay break when
being replaced.)
NOTE: So e odels have LED interior lighting and
service should be perfor ed by a qualified
technician.
NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF
position does not re ove power to the light circuit.
• When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to
the electrical source and reset the control
(Ther ostat Refrigerator Control, or Freezer
Control, or Freezer Control, depending on the
odel) to the desired setting.
• This refrigerator ust be properly installed in
accordance with the 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 co part ent when
hands are da p or wet. Skin ay adhere to the
extre ely cold surfaces.
• In refrigerators with auto atic ice akers, avoid
contact with the oving parts of the ejector
echanis or with the heating ele ent that
releases the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or hands
on the auto atic ice aking echanis while the
refrigerator is plugged in.
• Do not modify or extend the power cord length.
It will cause electric shock or fire.

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONT.)
• Do not use drier to dry the inside, nor light a candle
to re ove odor.
• Install in places away fro the fire such as the place
where fla able gas is leaked.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or ental 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.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed co pletely. The United States
Depart ent of Agriculture in Ho e and Garden
Bulletin No. 69 says:
…You ay safely refreeze frozen foods that have
thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are
still cold—below 40°F (4°C).
…Thawed ground eats, poultry, or fish that have
any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen
and should not be eaten. Thawed ice crea
should be discarded. If the odor or color of any
food is poor or questionable, dispose of it. The
food ay be dangerous to eat.
Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the
quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables,
and prepared foods. The eating quality of red
eats is affected less than that of any other
foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to
save as uch of their quality as you can.
Risk of hild Entrapment
Discarded or abandoned refrigerators are
dangerous, even if they will sit for just a few
days. If you are disposing of your old refrigerator,
please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or
freezer:
• Take off the doors.
• Do not leave the shelves
in place, as children ay
cli b inside.
CFC DISPOSAL

that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are
believed to har stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,

proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you
intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you can
be subject to fines and i prison ent under
provisions of environ ental legislation.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
wWARNING
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.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into
its own individual properly grounded electrical
outlet rated for 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and
fused at 20 a peres. This provides the
best perfor ance and also prevents overloading
house wiring circuits which could cause a fire
hazard fro overheated wires. It is
reco ended 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 any circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug.
NOTE: So e odels have LED interior lighting and
service should be perfor ed by a qualified technician.
When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to
the electrical source and reset the control
(Ther ostat, Refrigerator Control, or Freezer Control,
depending on the odel) to the desired setting.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly 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 20 a peres ( ini u ) and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the
clearance needed for the back of the
refrigerator.
