IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Grounding type wall receptacle

Power cord with 
3-prong grounded plug

Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the 
grounding prong.

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 protec-
tion against electrical shock hazards. It 
must be plugged directly into a properly 
grounded three prong receptacle. The re-
ceptacle must be installed in accordance 
with local codes and ordinances. Consult 
a qualied electrician. Avoid connecting 
refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interrupter 
(GFI) circuit. Do not use an extension 
cord or adapter plug.

WARNING

These guidelines must be followed to ensure 
that safety mechanisms in this refrigerator 
will operate properly.

IMPORTANT

Child Safety

Destroy or recycle the 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 cham-
bers, and can quickly cause suffocation.

Proper Disposal of your 
Refrigerator or Freezer

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not 
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned 
refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous – 
even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If you 
are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, 
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.energystar.gov/

recycle

 for more information on recycling your 

old refrigerator.

Before you throw 
away your old re-
frigerator/freezer:

• 

Remove doors.

• 

Leave shelves 
in place so 
children may 
not easily  
climb inside.

• 

Have refrigerant removed by a qualied 
service technician.

IMPORTANT

CFC/HCFC Disposal

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling 
system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorouo-
rocarbons or hydrochlorouorocarbons). CFCs 
and HCFCs are believed to harm stratospheric 
ozone if released to the atmosphere. Other 
refrigerants may also cause harm to the envi-
ronment if released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old refrigera-
tor, make sure the refrigerant is removed for 
proper disposal by a qualied technician. If 
you intentionally release refrigerant, you may 
be subject to nes and imprisonment under 
provisions of environmental legislation.

• 

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 recep-
tacle 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 insufcient 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 be-
ing turned off accidentally.

When  the  refrigerator  is  running,  press 
the temperature setting button(SET) for 
3s,  the  refrigerator  enter  into  standby 
mode, meanwhile ,the standby indicator
