GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This appli- ance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD

Use an exclusive wall outlet. Do not connect your refrigerator to extension cords or together with any other appliance in the same wall outlet.

IMPORTANT WARNING

An empty refrigerator can pose a threat to children. To render the unit harmless we strongly recommend removing the door prior to disposal. 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

LOCATION

Remove exterior and interior packaging, wipe the

outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside with a wet, lukewarm cloth. Avoid placing the unit in a narrow recess or near any heat source, direct sunlight, or moisture. Let air circulate freely around the unit. Keep the rear of the refrigera- tor 5 inches away from the wall.

LOCATION

1)Select a place with a strong, level floor.

2)Allow 5 inches of space between a wall and the back of the refrigerator, and 1 to 2 inches of space between a wall and a refrigerator side.

3)Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight

may affect the acrylic coating on the refrigerator exterior. Heat sources nearby will cause higher electricity consump- tion.

The refrigeration system in this refrigerator is a “Frost Free” system. This type of system requires no user intervention (i.e. defrosting) other than selecting required cooling temperatures and the usual care and

maintenance.

To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled. This is accom- plished by adjusting the 2 front leveling legs located under the refrigerator. (see Figure on the right)
