IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
1
ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.
IMPORTANT WARNING
An empty refrigerator can pose a threat to children.
To render the unit harmless we strongly recommend
removing the door prior to disposal.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
Use an exclusive wall outlet. Do not connect your
refrigerator to extension cords or together with any
other appliance in the same wall outlet.
Remove exterior and interior packings, wipe the
outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the
inside with a wet, lukewarm cloth. Avoid placing the
unit in a narrow recess or near any heat source, direct
sunlight, or moisture. Let air circulate freely around
the unit. Keep the rear of the refrigerator 5 inches
away from the wall.
Location
1) Select a place with a strong, level floor.
2) Allow 5 inches of space between the back of the
refrigerator and any adjacent wall.
3) Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight
may affect the acrylic coating. Heat sources
nearby will cause higher electricity consumption.
The refrigerating system in this refrigerator is a
“Frost Free” system. This type of system requires no
user intervention (i.e. defrosting) other than selecting
required cooling temperatures and the usual care and
maintenance.
To avoid vibration, the unit must be set level. This is
accomplished by adjusting the front leveling leg,
located under the refrigerator.
