READ ALL INSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING.

WARNING!

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

This refl'igerator must be properl} installed

and located in accordance _dth the Installation

Instructions befl)re it is used.

Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang

on the shelves in the refl'igerator. They could

damage the refl'igerator and seriously iD.jure

themselves.

{ Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer

compartment xd]en hands are damp or _et.

Skin may stick to these extremely cold

surfi_ces.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

x_pors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any

other appliance.

Kee I) fingers out of the "pinch point" areas;

clearances between the doors and between

the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.

Be carefld closing doors when children are

in the area.

In refl'igerato_s with automatic icemake_s,

avoid contact with the moving parts of the

ejector mechanism, or with the heating

element that releases the cubes. Do not place

fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking

mechanism while the reti'igerator is plugged in.

Unplug the refl'igerator befl)re cleaning and

making repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be

performed by a quafif/efl #Tdiv/flual.

Turning the control to the 0 position does

not remove power to the light circuit.

Do not refi'eeze fi'ozen foods which have

thawed completely.

DANGER!RISKOFCHILDENTRAPMENT

PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEREFRIGERATOR

Child entrapment and suffocation are not

problems of the past. Junked or abandoned

refl'igerators are still dangerous...even if they

will sit for 'ijust a few da):s." If you are getting

rid of your old refl'igerator, please fi)llow the

instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before You ThrowAway YourOld

Refrigerator or Freezer:

Take off"the doors.

{ Leaxe the shelves in place so that children

may not easily" climb inside.

Refrigerants

_1 refi'igeration products contain refi'igerants,

which under tederal law must be removed prior

to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an

old refl'igeration product, check with the

company handling the disposal about what

to do.

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against

the use of an extension cord.

H(mexer, if}ou must use an extension cord, it is absolutel} necessar} that it be a UL-listed,

3-wire grounding _i)e appliance extension cord haxing a ....grounding t_ l)eI)lug, and outlet and

that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

wvvw.AmeficanaAppliances.com

WARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

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.

Tile power cord of this appliance is equipped

with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates

with a standard 3-i)rong (grounding) wall outlet

to minimize the possibility of electric shock

hazard fl'om this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is

l)rol)erly grounded.

Where a standard 9-prong wall outlet is

encountered, it is your i)ersonal resi)onsibili V

and obligation to have it rei)laced with a

properly grounded 3-i)rong wall outlet.

The refl'igerator should always be plugged into

its own individual electrical outlet which has a

voltage rating that matches the rating [)late.

This proxides the best l)erfbrmance and also

l)rexents overloading house wiring circuits which

could cause a fire hazard fi'om overheated _dres.

Never tmplug your refrigerator by pulling on the

l)ower cord. Alwa):s grip plug firmly and pull

straight out fl'om the outlet.

Repair or rei)lace immediately all power cords

that have become fl'ayed or otherwise damaged.

Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion

damage ahmg its length or at either end.

X_\hen moving the refl'igerator away fl'om the

wall, be careflfl not to roll over or damage the

l)ower cord.

NOTES:

• Some hinges have four holes. _'\ hich holes you

use fi)r installing the hinge depends on which

side you install the hinge.

• The outer edge of the hinge should be parallel

to the edge of the case for correct installation.

Normal operating sounds.

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators

have more features and use newer technology.

Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal

HUMMM...

-- WHOOSH...

• The new high efficiency compressor may run filster

and longer than your old refl'igerator and yot! Inay

hear a high-pitched huln or pulsating sound while

it is operating.

• Mm may hear a whooshing sound when file doors close.

This is due to pressure equafizing wiflfin fl_e refl'igerator

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and CHIRPS

• You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the

refi'igerator is first plugged in. This happens as the

refl'igerator cools to the correct temperature.

• The compressor may cause a clicking or clfirping

sound when attempting to restart (this could take

up to 5 minutes).

• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during

and after defl'ost can cause a cracking or ix)pping

SO lind.

WHIRl

• You may hear the rims sphming at high speeds.

This hal)pens when the refl'igerator is first i)lugged

in, when the doo_s are opened fl'equently or when

a large amount of tood is added to the refl'igerator

or fl'eezer compartments. The rims are helping to

maintain the correct temperatures.

WA']'£RSOUNDS

• The flow of refl'igerant through the fl'eezer cooling

coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.

• Water dropping on the defi'ost heater can cause a

sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the

defi'ost cycle.

• A water dripping noise may occur during the defi'ost

c)vle as ice melts fl'om the evaporator and fl(m_s into

the drain pan.

• Closing the door may cause a gmgling sound due to

pressure equalization.
