Child Safety  
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 qualified electrician. Avoid connecting  
refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI)  
circuit. Do not use an extension cord or  
adapter plug.  
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 finishes if they  
come in contact with other appliances or furniture.  
An empty, discarded refrigerator is a very  
dangerous attraction to children.  
If the power cord is damaged, it should be  
replaced by an authorized service technician to  
prevent any risk.  
Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in  
use, even if it is being discarded.  
Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the  
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and  
pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent  
damaging the power cord.  
WARnInG  
Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator  
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before  
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.  
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.  
Performance may be affected if the voltage varies  
by 10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with  
insufficient 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.  
We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/  
disposal methods. Check with your utility company or  
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 qualified service  
technician.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS  
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 first steps.  
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,  
Location  
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 residue with the sticky  
side of tape already removed. Do not remove the  
serial plate.  
Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical  
outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter  
plug.  
For the most efficient 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.  
cAutIOn  
Allow space around the unit for good air circulation.  
Leave a 5 inch (50 mm) space on the back and  
the sides, and 12 inches (300 mm) above the  
refrigerator for adequate circulation.  
To allow door to close and seal properly, DO NOT let  
food packages extend past the front of shelves.  
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  
ENERGY SAVING TIPS  
The refrigerator must have all bottom corners resting  
firmly on solid floor. The floor 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.  
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 door close tightly.  
To Level Your Refrigerator:  
Do not overcrowd the refrigerator 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  
wine cooler less efficient.  
After removing all interior and exterior packaging  
materials, and after discarding 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. from front-to-back. Adjust the leveling  
legs in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes  
Wipe bottles and containers dry before placing them  
in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-  
up inside the unit.  
easily when left halfway open.  
Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings.  
Remove as many items as needed at one time and  
Cleaning  
close the door as soon as possible.

DOOR REVERSAL INSTRUCTIONS  
nOtE

moving the door hinges from one side to the other. Reversing the door swing should be performed by a qualified person.  
IMpORtAnt
