BFI/BF1055 (7082 244-00)
• Do not use electrical appliances inside the
appliance.
• Do not allow children to play with the appliance.
Children must not climb, sit or stand on the
shelves, drawers or door.
• To prevent possible injury due to an electrical
shock, be sure to disconnect the power cord or
turn off the circuit breaker before replacing the
interior light or cleaning the appliance.
• To prevent possible injury due to broken glass,
use hand protection when replacing the interior
light.
• To avoid injury or damage to the appliance, do
not use steam cleaning equipment to clean the
appliance.
• Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence
of explosive fumes.
• In the event of a power outage, minimize
opening the refrigerator door(s). Protect the food
either by placing dry ice on top of the packages
or using a local frozen food locker if the power
failure is of a long duration. Do not attempt to
re-freeze any thawed previously frozen food.
• To avoid possible injury, only adjust an empty
shelf. Do not attempt to adjust a shelf with food
on it.
• To protect the refrigerator from possible damage,
allow the appliance to stand 1/2 to 1 hour in
place before turning the electricity on. This
allows the refrigerant and system lubrication to
reach equilibrium.
Electrical Safety
Connect this appliance to a 110-120 VAC, 15 amp
(20 Amp for side-by-side installations) circuit that is
controlled by a circuit breaker or fuse. This
appliance should have its own separate grounded
circuit. Do not use an extension cord.
The power cord is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection against
possible shock hazards. To maintain this protection:
• Do not modify the plug by removing the round
grounding prong.
• Do not use a two-prong adapter. Where a two-
prong wall receptacle is encountered, contact a
qualified electrician and have it replaced with a
three-prong receptacle in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
• Do not use a power cord that is frayed or
damaged.
IceMaker (if equipped)
The icemaker for a combined refrigerator-freezer is
located in the freezer compartment. It must be
connected to the water supply to function properly.
These instructions only refer to the installation and
operation of the icemaker. Please refer to the Use
and Care Manual provided with the appliance for
other installation and operation instructions. The
combined refrigerator-freezer must be level for the
icemaker to function properly.
Safety Instructions and
Warnings
• Do not make the water connection while the
combined refrigerator-freezer is connected to an
electrical outlet.
• The connection to the water supply may only be
made by a trained and licensed plumber.
• The water quality must comply with the drinking
water regulations for the geographical area
where the appliance is located.
• The icemaker is designed exclusively to make
ice cubes in quantities needed by a household
and may only be operated with water appropriate
for this purpose.
• All repairs and work on the icemaker may only
be done by customer service personnel or other
trained personnel.
• Do not consume or use the first three
batches of ice. This applies both to using the
appliance for the first time and also using it
after it has not been used for a long period of
time.
• The manufacturer cannot accept liability for
damage caused by equipment or water lines
between the solenoid valve and the water
supply.
