Disposal of Old Appliance
WARNING!
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 these instructions to help prevent accidents. Before you discard old appliances:

• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
• Cut off the power cord from the discarded appliance. Discard separately from the appliance.
• Be sure to follow your local requirements for disposal of appliances. Contact the trash collection agency in your area for additional information.

Disposal of Packaging Material
WARNING!
Keep packaging materials away from children. Polythene sheets and bags can cause suffocation!
If possible, please recycle packaging material at a recy-cling facility.

Electrical Safety
Connect this appliance to a 15 amp or 20 amp, 110120 VAC circuit which is grounded and protected by a circuit breaker or fuse. We recommend using a dedicated circuit for this appliance to prevent circuit overload and the chance of interruption to the appliance. This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) polarized plug for your protection against possible shock hazards. Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, contact a qualified electrician and have it replaced with a properly grounded three- prong receptacle in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING!
Electrocution hazard.

Electrical grounding required.

• Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug.

• Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two prong) adapters.

• Do not use a power cord that is frayed or damaged.

• Do not use a power strip.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, electric shock or death.

Blocking for Safety
WARNING!
To avoid a hazard due to instability of the appliance, it must be fixed in accordance with the instructions.

PLANNING INFORMATION

Unit Dimensions – Figure 1, Figure 2

A = 3″ (76 mm)
B = 79-13/16″ (2027 mm)
C = 29-7/8″ (757 mm)
D = 24″ (610 mm)
E = 55 1/4″ (1413 mm)
F = 37-1/8″ (952 mm)

Door Swing Clearance – Figure 3
Please allow for door swing clearance at locations next to a wall. The illustrated measurement is without mounted front panels. Be sure to add your panel thickness and handle depth to this measurement in order to avoid interferences.

Unit Venting – Figure 4

HC appliances do not require any ventilation openings in the cabinet. The required air flow is directed through the toe kick area. Only use the ventilation grille provided with the appliance. This grille is required for proper operation of the appliance.
This opening must not be covered with a cabinet base.
Failure to use the supplied grille can result in product failure and will void the warranty.

Cabinet Opening Dimensions – Figure 5

Cabinet Height| Inset cabinet Depth D| Frameless/faceframe cabinet Depth D
---|---|---
80″| 24″ + panel thickness| 24″
84″| 24″ + panel thickness| 24″

For appliance with panel to be flush, adjacent cabinetry depth must equal appliance depth (24″) plus panel thickness (5/8″ – 3/4″).

(1) This is where the power cord extends from the back of the appliance.
Free length of the power cord = 90 inch (2280 mm) Be sure to take these specifications into consideration when choosing the location of the electrical outlet.
IMPORTANT
The electrical outlet must not be situated behind the appliance and must be easily accessible.

Panel Dimensions – Inset Installation Style – Figure 6

Appliance and panels sit fully within theopening and are flush with what could beits own box, between two pantry cabinetsor decorative columns, etc. This is themost common installation scenario.

You can order stainless steel panels for inset installation style. Refrigerator door panel 80″- article number 9900 287-00 Refrigerator door panel 84″- article number 9900 285-00 Freezer drawer panels – article number 9900 283-00

The panels should be at least 5/8 inch (16 mm) thick to allow the connecting rails to be fastened to them.
IMPORTANT
The maximum panel thickness is 3/4″ (19 mm).
The door panel weight must not exceed 60 lb (27 kg).

Panel Dimensions – Frameless Installation Style – Figure 7

With this installation style, these wider appliance panels partially overlay the shared side gables of adjacent cabinetry so as to mimic the look of a frameless style cabinet.

The panels should be at least 5/8 inch (16 mm) thick to allow the connecting rails to be fastened to them.
IMPORTANT
The maximum panel thickness is 3/4″ (19 mm).
The door panel weight must not exceed 60 lb (27 kg).

BLOCKING FOR SAFETY

WARNING!

• The anti tipping bracket must be mounted to prevent the appliance from tipping when the fully stocked door is opened.
• Be sure that there is no plumbing or electrical wiring located in this area which screws or drills could damage.

Mounting the Anti Tipping Device in Cabinets deeper than 24″ – Figures 12 – 13
A proper function of the anti tipping bracket is warranted within a cabinet depth of between 24″ and 25″. If the cabinet is deeper than 25″, a wooden spacer must be mounted between appliance and wall.

WARNING!
Be sure the wooden spacer is fastened securely to the floor.

Measuring for mounting the wooden spacer on inset kitchen cabinets – Figure 12

Measuring for mounting the wooden spacer on frameless kitchen cabinets – Figure 13

IMPORTANT
If the floor slopes down sideways, the anti tipping bracket must be fitted horizontally. Lay down spacers in the appropriate positions.

Cover Strips – Figure 14
Apply cover strips above, between and below the securing plates on the side walls of the appliance.
Cut the cover strips to the length shown in Figure 14.
Fit the adhesive cover strips leaving a gap of 1/4″ to each securing plate. This ensures problem-free fitting of the covers.

Move the appliance slowly into the recess until the appliance back slides into the anti tipping bracket (Figure 15).

INSTALLATION

Leveling the Appliance – Figure 16

1. Adjust the height of the appliance at the front by twisting the leveling feet (1). Use the open-ended spanner provided. Turn the spanner counterclockwise to raise the appliance front and clockwise to lower it. Position the spanner accordingly (Figure 16 – (1)).
2. Adjust the height of the appliance at the rear by turning the adjusting bolts (2). Use a 1/4″ box spanner or the Torx 25 wrench provided.
3. Rotate leveling feet (1)until firmly in place against the floor.
