This refrigerator/freezer must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions
before it is used. See grounding instructions in the installation section.
This refrigerator/freezer should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for
freestanding installation only.
Never unplug your refrigerator/freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and

DANGER
- Risk of Fire or Explosion. Flammable refrigerant used. Do not use Mechanical
devices to defrost refrigerator. Do not puncture refrigerant tubing.
If your old refrigerator/freezer is not being used, we recommend that you remove the doors. This will
reduce the possibility of danger to children.
WARNING:
After your refrigerator/freezer is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold
surfaces.
Do not refreeze foods, which have been thawed completely. The United States Department of
Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 reads: "…You may safely refreeze frozen foods
that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below 40°F".
"…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or offcolor should not be refrozen
and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is
poor or questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat."
"…Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits,
vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many
other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of they’re
eating quality as you can."
Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your refrigerator.
Unplug your refrigerator/freezer before cleaning or before making any repairs.
Note:
If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly recommend that a certified
technician perform service.
Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
