IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
Keep fingers out of the “pinch point”  
areas: clearances between the door  
and between the door and cabinet are  
necessarily small. Be careful closing  
the door when children are in the area.  
wWARNING—When using this  
appliance, always exercise basic safety  
precautions, including the following:  
Use this appliance only for its intended  
purpose as described in this Owner’s  
Manual.  
Unplug your fresh-food refrigerator  
before cleaning or making repairs.  
NOTE: We strongly recommend that  
any servicing be performed by a qualified  
individual.  
This fresh-food refrigerator must be  
properly installed in accordance with the  
Installation Instructions before it is used.  
Do not allow children to climb, stand  
or hang on the shelves in the fresh-food  
refrigerator. They could damage the  
fresh-food refrigerator and seriously  
injure themselves.  
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb,  
the fresh-food refrigerator should be  
turned OFF or unplugged in order to  
avoid contact with a live wire filament.  
(A burned-out light bulb may break  
when being replaced.)  
Do not store or use gasoline or other  
flammable vapors and liquids in the  
vicinity of this or any other appliance.

wAVERTISSEMENT—  
Lorsque vous utilisez l’appareil, observez  
toujours certaines précautions de base,  
notamment :  
réfrigérateur où l’on peut facilement  
se pincer : les espaces entre les portes et entre  
les portes et les placards sont toujours étroits.  
Soyez prudent lorsque vous fermez les portes  
de l’appareil en présence des enfants.  
• N’utilisez l’appareil que pour son usage  
prévu, comme décrit dans le présent manuel.  
• Débranchez votre réfrigérateur pour  
denrées fraîches avant de le nettoyer  
et de le réparer. REMARQUE : Nous vous  
recommandons vivement de confier toute  
réparation à un technicien qualifié.  
• Installez le réfrigérateur pour denrées  
fraîches conformément aux directives  
d’installation avant de l’utiliser.  
• Ne laissez pas les enfants grimper, s’asseoir,  
se tenir debout ni se pendre aux clayettes  
du réfrigérateur pour denrées fraîches. Ils  
pourraient endommager le réfrigérateur pour  
denrées fraîches et se blesser gravement.  
• Avant de remplacer une ampoule grillée,  
le réfrigérateur pour denrées fraîches doit être  
débranché afin d’éviter tout contact avec  
un fil sous tension. (Une ampoule grillée  
peut se briser pendant l’opération).  
• N’entreposez et n’utilisez pas d’essence ou  
autres vapeurs et liquides inflammables à  
proximité de cet appareil ou de tout autre  
appareil électroménager.  
wDANGER! RISQUES POUR LES ENFANTS  
Les enfants pris au piège ou morts  
d’asphyxie sont toujours d’actualité.  
Avant de vous débarasser de votre vieux  
appareil de réfrigération :  
Les appareils de réfrigération abandonés  
sont toujours aussi dangereux, même  
si on n’attend que “quelque jours” pour  
s’en débarasser. Si vous ne gardez pas votre  
ancien appareil, veuillez suivre les directives  
ci-dessous afin de prévenir les accidents.  
Démontez les portes.  
Laissez les clayettes en place afin  
d’empêcher les enfants de grimper  
à l’intérieur.  
RÉFRIGÉRANTS  
Tous les appareils de réfrigération  
contiennent des refrigerants qui,  
conformément aux lois fédérales,  
doivent être enlevés avant toute  
élimination de l’appareil.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY  
Do not, under any circumstances, cut  
or remove the third (ground) prong from  
the power cord. For personal safety, this  
appliance must be properly grounded.  
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER  
PLUG TO CONNECT THE  
FRESH-FOOD REFRIGERATOR  
TO A 2-PRONG OUTLET.  
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.  
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION  
CORD WITH THIS APPLIANCE.  
Never unplug an appliance by pulling on  
the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly  
and pull straight out from the outlet.  
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked  
by a qualified electrician to make sure  
the outlet is properly grounded.  
Repair or replace immediately all power  
cords that have become frayed or otherwise  
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows  
cracks or abrasion damage along its length  
or at either end.  
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet  
is encountered, it is your personal  
responsibility and obligation to have  
it replaced with a properly grounded  
3-prong wall outlet.  
When moving the appliance, be careful  
not to roll over or damage the power cord.  
Use of a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter)  
is not recommended for the fresh-food  
refrigerator.  
The appliance should always be plugged  
into its own individual electrical outlet which  
has a voltage rating that matches the rating  
plate. This provides the best performance  
and also prevents overloading house wiring  
circuits which could cause a fire hazard from  
overheated wires.

Stainless Steel—Regularly clean and polish  
the stainless steel exterior and handle with a  
commercially available stainless steel cleaner  
such as Stainless Steel Magicto preserve

Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean  
cloth lightly dampened with mild liquid dish  
detergent. Dry with a clean, soft cloth.  
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled  
dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave  
a residue that can damage the finish. Do  
not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners,  
bleach or cleaners containing bleach because  
these products can scratch and damage  
the finish.  
To avoid scratching the fine finish of the  
stainless steel, wipe in the same direction  
as the grain when polishing or cleaning  
any stainless steel surface. The grain on

This warranty is extended to the original purchaser and any succeeding owner for products purchased for  
ordinary home use in the 48 mainland states, Hawaii, Washington, D.C. or Canada. If the product is located in

warranty is the same except that it is LIMITED because you must pay to ship the product to the service shop  
or for the service technician’s travel costs to your home.
