Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.
Power cord with
3-prong grounded plug
WARNING
Child Safety
• Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior
wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator
is unpacked. Children should never use these items
to play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads,
plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight
chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation.
• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can
cause severe cuts, and destroy nishes if they come
in contact with other appliances or furniture.
• An empty, discarded refrigerator is a very dangerous
attraction to children.
• Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in
use, even if it is being discarded.
WARNING
Electrical Information
• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only
electrical outlet. The power cord of the appliance is
equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your
protection against electrical shock hazards. It must
be plugged directly into a properly grounded three
prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in
accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult
a qualied electrician. Avoid connecting refrigerator
to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not
use an extension cord or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by
an authorized service technician to prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug rmly, and pull straight out
from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies
by 10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with
insufcient power can damage the compressor. Such
damage is not covered under your warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the
refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.
WARNING
Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days”.
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please
follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/
disposal methods. Check with your utility company or
visit www.recyclemyoldfridge.com for more information
on recycling your old refrigerator.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator:
• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily
climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a qualied service technician.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle
tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves may break
suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden
temperature change. Allow the glass shelves to stabilize
to room temperature before cleaning. Do not wash
in dishwasher.

NOTE
The exterior walls of the refrigerator may become quite
warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from
the inside. Temperatures as much as 30° F warmer than
room temperature can be expected. For this reason it is
particularly important in hotter climates to allow enough
space for air circulation around your refrigerator.
Leveling
The refrigerator must have all bottom corners resting
rmly on solid oor. The oor must be strong enough
to support a fully loaded refrigerator. NOTE: It is very
important for your refrigerator to be level in order to
function properly. If the refrigerator is not leveled during
installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or
seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
To Level Your Refrigerator:
After removing all interior and exterior packing materials,
crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter’s level
to level the refrigerator from front-to-back. Adjust the
plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the
door closes easily when left halfway open.
NOTE
The direction in which your refrigerator doors open
(door swing) can be reversed, from left to right or right
to left, by moving the door hinges from one side to the
other. Reversing the door swing should be performed
by a qualied person.
INSTALLATION
This Use & Care Guide provides general operating
instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as
instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the
refrigerator, follow these important rst steps.
Location
• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.
Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
• For the most efcient operation, the refrigerator
should be located where surrounding temperatures
will not drop below 10° F (-12° C) or exceed 110° F
(43° C). The Freeze Control Feature is designed
to automatically maintain the selected interior
refrigerator temperature within these boundaries.
• Allow space around the unit for good air circulation.
Leave a 2 inch (50 mm) space on the back, 1 inch
(20 mm) on the sides, and 12 inches (300 mm)
above the refrigerator for adequate circulation.

Cleaning
• Wash any removable parts of the refrigerator interior,
and exterior with mild detergent and warm water. Wipe
dry. Do not use harsh cleaners on these surfaces.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments,
which can scratch the appliance surface when removing
adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can be
removed with a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent, or touch the resi
due with the sticky side of
tape already removed. Do not remove the serial plate.
• Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of a dry and
ventilated room, out of direct sunlight and away from
heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator
next to heat-producing appliances such as a range,
oven or dishwasher.
• Level the refrigerator so the doors close tightly.
• Do not overcrowd the refri
gerator or block cold air
vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer
and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined
with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the
• Wipe bottles and containers dry before placing them in
the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up
inside the unit.
• Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings.

Nivelación
Las cuatro esquinas inferiores del refrigerador deben estar
apoyadas rmemente sobre piso estable. El piso debe
ser sucientemente fuerte para sostener un refrigerador
completamente cargado. NOTA: Es muy importante
que su refrigerador esté nivelado para que funcione
correctamente. Si no nivela el refrigerador durante su
instalación, la puerta puede quedar mal alineada y no
cerrar o sellar adecuadamente, lo que puede causar
problemas de enfriamiento, escarcha o humedad.
Para nivelar su refrigerador:
Después de extraer todos los materiales de embalaje
exterior e interior, después de desechar los tornillos y
la base de madera, utilice un nivel de carpintero para
nivelar el refrigerador desde adelante hacia atrás. Ajuste
las patas de nivelación de plástico de adelante, ½ pestillo
superior, de manera que la puerta cierre fácilmente
cuando se deje abierta por la mitad.
INSTALACIÓN
Esta Guía de uso y cuidado le proporciona instrucciones
de funcionamiento generales sobre su modelo. Use su
refrigerador solamente como en ella se indica. Antes de
encender el refrigerador, siga estos importantes
primeros pasos.
Ubicación
• Elija un lugar que esté cerca de un tomacorriente con
conexión a tierra. No utilice un cordón de extensión
ni un adaptador.
• Para un funcionamiento óptimo, instale el refrigerador
en un lugar donde la temperatura ambiente no
caiga por debajo de los 10° F (-12° C) o exceda los
110° F (43° C). La función Control de congelación
está diseñada para mantener automáticamente la
temperatura interior seleccionada del refrigerador
dentro de estos límites.
• Deje espacio suciente alrededor de la unidad
para unacirculación adecuada del aire. Deje un
espacio de 2 pulgadas (50 mm) en la parte trasera,
1 pulgada (20 mm) en los costados y 12 pulgadas
(300 mm) por encima del refrigerador para permitir
la circulación adecuada del aire.
NOTE
La dirección en la que se abre la puerta del refrigerador (giro
de la puerta) puede ser invertida de izquierda a derecha o de
derecha a izquierda cambiando las bisagras de la puerta de
un lado al otro. La inversión de la dirección de apertura de la
puerta debe ser realizada por una persona calicada.

Limpieza
• Lave las piezas removibles del interior y exterior del
refrigerador con un detergente suave y agua tibia. Séquelas.
• No utilice hojas de afeitar ni otros instrumentos
electrodoméstico cuando retire las etiquetas
adhesivas. Si queda algún residuo de pegamento de
la cinta, puede eliminarlo usando una mezcla de agua
tibia y detergente suave. También puede tocar el
residuo con el lado adhesivo de la cinta que ya haya
retirado. No retire la placa de serie.
PRECAUCI ÓN
Para que la puerta cierre y selle adecuadamente, NO
deje que los paquetes de comida sobresalgan del frente
de las bandejas.
Frente de las bandejas
• Instale el refrigerador en la parte más fresca de la
habitación, lejos de la luz directa del sol y de las tuberías
o rejillas de la calefacción. No coloque el refrigerador
cerca de los electrodomésticos que produzcan calor tales
como una estufa, un horno o un lavavajillas.
• Nivele el refrigerador de manera que la puertas
cierre herméticamente.
• No sobrecargue el refrigerado
r ni bloquee los tramos
de ventilación. Si lo hace, el refrigerador funcionará por
períodos más prolongados y consumirá más energía. No
forre nunca las bandejas con papel de aluminio, papel
de cera o toallas de papel, ya que si lo hace, interferirá
con la circulación del aire frío y el funcionamiento
provocar que los alimentos se echen a perder.
• Cubra los alimentos y seque los envases antes de
colocarlos en el refrigerador. Esto reduce la acumulación
de humedad dentro de la unidad.
•
frecuente de la puerta. Saque tantos artículos como
necesite de una sola vez y cierre la puerta tan pronto
como sea posible.
