IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or aban-
doned appliances are still dangerous –
even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If
you are getting rid of your old unit, please
follow the instructions below to help pre-
vent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appli-
ance recycling/disposal methods. Check
with your utility company or visit www.
energystar.gov/recycle for more informa-
tion on recycling your old appliance.
Before you throw
away your old unit:
Remove doors.
Leave shelves in
place so children
may not easily
climb inside.
Have refrigerant re-
moved by a qualified service technician.
Electrical information
Plug the unit into its own dedi-
cated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC
only electrical outlet. The power
cord of the appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong grounding plug for
your protection against electrical
shock hazards. Plug it directly into a
properly grounded 3-prong recep-
tacle. You must install the recepta-
cle in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. Consult a qualified
electrician. Avoid connecting the unit
to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI)
circuit. Do not use an extension cord
or adapter plug.
If the power cord is damaged, an
authorized service technician should
replace it to prevent any risk.
Never unplug the refrigerator by pull-
ing on the power cord. Always grip
the plug firmly, and pull it straight
out from the receptacle to prevent
damaging the power cord.
Unplug the appliance before clean-
ing and before replacing the AC LED
light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
Use only a 5-watt or less AC LED
light bulb.
Performance may be aected if the
voltage varies by 10% or more. Oper-
ating the refrigerator with insu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 unit from
being turned o accidentally.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Power cord with
3-prong grounded plug
Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.
IMPORTANT
Turning the Refrigerator controls to
“OFF” will disable your refrigerator’s
cooling system, but does not disconnect
the power to the light bulb and other
electrical components. To turn o power
to your refrigerator you must unplug the
power cord from the electrical outlet.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling
system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlo-
rofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluoro-
carbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed
to harm stratospheric ozone if released
to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants
may also cause harm to the environment
if released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old refrig-
erator, make sure the refrigerant is re-
moved for proper disposal by a qualified
technician. If you intentionally release
refrigerant, you may be subject to fines
and imprisonment under provisions of
environmental legislation.

IMPORTANT
Cleaning your Refrigerator
Remove tape and glue residue from sur-
faces before turning the refrigerator on.
Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap
over the adhesive with your fingers.
Rinse with warm water and dry with a
soft cloth.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing
alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive
cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of
your refrigerator.
After you remove all of the package ma-
terials, clean the inside of your refriger-
ator before using it. See the CARE AND
CLEANING section in this manual.
See important information about
cleaning glass shelves and covers in the
STORAGE FEATURES section of this
manual.
IMPORTANT
Moving your Refrigerator
Your refrigerator is heavy. When
moving the refrigerator for cleaning or
service, be sure to cover the floor with
cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor
damage. Always pull the refrigerator
straight out when moving it. Do not
wiggle or “walk” the refrigerator when
trying to move it as you could damage
the floor.
