IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please follow the precautions below for your new refrigerator:

• This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
• Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Keep fingers out of the clearances between the doors and cabinet. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs.
• We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
• Turning the temperature control dial to the “OFF” position stops cooling but does not shut off power to the refrigerator.
• Do not leave refrigerator in extreme cold or warm temperatures.
• Do not place refrigerator near heat sources or open flames.
• Clean the refrigerator with a soft, damp cloth. Remove stains with a mild soap. Do not clean  the unit with industrial grade solvents, or abrasive chemicals.
• Do not place heavy items on top of the refrigerator.
• Never install the refrigerator where there is a lot of moisture and water can splash.
• Do not allow children to hang on the doors; the refrigerator may be tipped over and hurt children.
• Never eat spoiled food stored too long in the refrigerator or in an out-of-order refrigerator.
• Do not use sharp tools inside the refrigerator – for example – to remove ice as damage may occur.
• Unplug and remove food from the refrigerator if not used for a long period of time.
• Caution: flammable refrigerant used! When handing, moving and use of the refrigerator,make sure to avoid either damaging the refrigerant tubing, or increasing the risk of a leak.
• The refrigerant isobutene (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant circuit of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable.
• During transportation and installation of the appliance, ensure that none of the components of the  refrigerant circuit becomes damaged. The refrigerant (R600a) is flammable.

PROPER DISPOSAL
An empty refrigerator is an extremely dangerous attraction to children. If you are getting rid of your
old refrigerator, please follow the instructions in the Child Entrapment Warning.

CHILD ENTRAPMENT WARNING:
Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

1. Take off the doors.
2. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

CAUTION: USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING:

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or
if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord that has a three blade grounding plug, and a three slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the  appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

INSTALLATION

1. Steady, flat location:
If the refrigerator is not leveled during installation, the doors may not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems. It is very important for the refrigerator to be level in order to function properly.
To level your refrigerator, you may either turn the level leg clockwise to raise that side to the refrigerator or turn counter-clockwise to lower that side. Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator will take some weight off the leveling leg. This makes it easier to adjust the leveling leg.
2. Ventilation: Place refrigerator approximately 5 inches from the wall to ensure proper airflow to the compressor. Do not place refrigerator near any heat resources such as a heater or stove as it will put a strain on the compressor.
3. Power supply:
• Check your local power source. This refrigerator requires a 115V, 60Hz power supply.
• Use a receptacle that will accept the ground prong. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
(a) Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
(b) If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

NOTES:
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
If you have only a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
