you is very important.
Safety messages should be read
completely and followed at all times.
This is the safety alert symbol:
It indicates potential hazards
that can kill or hurt you and oth-
ers.
Messages about safety will tell you what
the potential hazard is, how to reduce
the chance of injury, and what can
happen if the instructions are not
followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

precautions:
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove the ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Disconnect power before servicing.
Use nonflammable product when
cleaning the refrigerator.
Keep flammable materials, such as
gasoline, away from the refrigerator.
Use two or more people to move and/
or install the refrigerator.
Proper disposal of old appliances:

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Before moving your refrigerator into its
desired location, it is important to check
that the proper electrical connection will
be used.
Recommended grounding method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-
amp fused, grounded electrical supply is
required.
It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only your refrigerator be provided.
Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by
a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE:
Be sure to unplug the refrigerator
prior to installation, cleaning, or general
maintenance such as changing the light
bulb.
Important Information Regarding Glass
Shelves:
Never clean the glass shelves with warm
water when they are cold. The glass may
break if exposed to sudden temperature
changes or impact, such as bumping.
The refrigerator’s shelves use tempered
glass, which is designed to shatter into
many small, pebble-size pieces. This is
normal.
Glass shelves are heavy. Use both hands
when removing them to avoid dropping.

PLACING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
WARNING:
Two or more people are required to
move and/or install the refrigerator.
Failure to do so may cause back or
other injury.
1. Choose a location for the refrigerator
that has a strong, level floor. If such a
place is unavailable, be sure to adjust
the rotating leg supports such that the
refrigerator is always kept level.
2. Your refrigerator needs at least
¼” (6.35mm) of air space at the top
and on the sides, and 2” at the rear to
allow for proper air ventilation. Be
sure that airflow under the appliance
is not blocked. If the refrigerator is
installed next to a fixed wall, provide
at least 2½ inches (6.35 cm) of room
on the hinge side to allow for the door
to swing open.
3. Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Light
will discolor the enamel finish. In
addition, when placed near a heat
source such as stove or direct
sunlight, the refrigerator will consume
more electricity. Similarly, avoid in-
stalling in relatively cold locations: do
not install in a place where the
temperature will fall below 55°F
(13°C).
4. Avoid moisture. If placed near a sink
or water faucet, the evaporator will
frost faster because of the higher
humidity.
WARNING:
EXPLOSION HAZARD. Keep
flammable materials and vapors,
such as gasoline, away from the
refrigerator. Failure to do so can
result in death, explosion or fire.
REFRIGERATOR FEATURES
Temperature Control Knob
The refrigerator’s tem-
perature control knob is
preset at the factory for
your convenience. When
first installing your refrig-
erator, be sure that the
control is still in the mid-
point setting as shown.
Adjusting the Control Knob
The mid-setting indicated in the section
above should be ideal for regular use.
However, if you need to adjust the tem-
perature, be sure to wait at least 24
hours between adjustments. Check the
temperature, and adjust the knob to the
next higher setting to make the refrigera-
tor colder. To make the refrigerator less
cold, adjust the control to the next lower
setting.
Refrigerator Shelves
You can remove the shelf by lifting up
the front and pulling it out of the shelf
slot.
You can replace the shelf by inserting
it into the shelf slot and pushing it
toward the back of the compartment.
Note: Keep similar foods together on the
same shelf. This helps to reduce the time
the refrigerator door is open and there-
fore save energy.
