IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARN

JNG-when

usingthis

appliance, always exercise basic safety
precautions, including the following:
Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.

This refrigerator/freezer 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 refrigerator/freezer.
They could damage the refrigerator/freezer
and seriously injure themselves.
Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet.
Skin may adhere to these extremely cold
surfaces.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.

Your freezer has an automatic
icemaker--avoid contact with the moving
parts of the ejector mechanism, or with
the heating element located on the bottom
of the icemaker. Do not place fingers or hands
on the automatic icemaking mechanism while
the freezer is plugged in.
Unplug your refrigerator/freezer
before cleaning and making repairs.
NOTE:We strongly recommend that
any servicing be performed by a qualified
individual.
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb,
the refrigerator/freezer should be unplugged in
order to avoid contact with a live wire filament.
(A burned-out light bulb may break when being
replaced.) NOTE:Turning control to OFFdoes
not remove power to the light circuit.
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely.

DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerator/freezers are still dangerous...even
if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are
getting rid of your old refrigerator/freezer,
please follow the instructions below to help
prevent accidents.

REFRIGERANTS
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed prior
to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old
refrigeration product, check with the company
handling the disposal about what to do.

a

Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigerator/Freezer
or Freezer:

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

IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

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.
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.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded.
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.

This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits, which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator/freezer by pulling
on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and
pull straight out from the outlet.
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.
When moving the refrigerator/freezer away
from the wall, be careful not to roll over or
damage the power cord.

The refrigerator/freezer should always
be plugged into its own individual electrical
outlet which has a voltage rating that matches
the rating plate.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO CONNECT
THE REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER TO A 2-PRONG
OUTLET.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH
THIS APPLIANCE.

Do not instell the refrigeretor/freezer where
temperetures will be below 60°F(16°C}because
it will not run often enough to maintain proper
temperatures, and the refrigerator will develop
high internal humidity.

For proper instelletion, the refrigeretor/

Clearances

If the refrigerator/freezer is to be installed in
a corner, a 4" clearance is required on the hinge
side for a 90 ° door opening and access to fresh
food drawers. A 15" clearance is required on
the hinge side to remove pans. A 25" clearance
is required on the hinge side for a full 130°

OPERATING
SOUNDS

• The variable speed compressor motor.
• Normal fan air flow-multiple fans blow cold air through the fresh food

fan cools the compressor motor.
• The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and
energy savings.
• These NORMALsounds will also be heard from time to time:
- You may hear a whooshing or gurgling sound when the door closes.
This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
- A water dripping sound may occur during the defrost cycle as ice
melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.
- The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may make a
gurgling sound like boiling water.
- Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping or
buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.
- You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is
first plugged in or during/after the defrost cycle. This happens as the
refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
- The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when
attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).
- The electronic control board may cause a clicking sound when relays
activate to control refrigerator components.
- Ice cubes dropping into the bin and water running in pipes as
icemaker refills.
- The icemaker water valve will buzz when the icemaker fills with water.
