CORDONS PROLONGATEURS

Nous vous recommandons fortement de ne pas utiliser de cordons prolongateurs à cause des risques

potentiels qu’ils présentent dans certaines conditions.

Toutefois si vous décidez d’utiliser tout de même un cordon prolongateur, il est absolument nécessaire

qu’il s’agisse d’un cordon à 3 fils avec mise à la terre pour appareils électroménagers homologué UL

(aux États-Unis) ou certifié CSA (au Canada), pourvu d’une fiche et d’une prise mises à la terre

de 15 ampères (minimum) et de 120 volts.

COMMENT VOUS DÉBARRASSER

CONVENABLEMENT DE VOTRE ANCIEN RÉFRIGÉRATEUR

Les enfants pris au piège ou morts d’asphyxie sont

toujours d’actualité. Les réfrigérateurs abandonnés

sont toujours aussi dangereux, même si on n’attend

que «quelques jours» pour s’en débarrasser. Si vous

ne gardez pas votre ancien réfrigérateur, veuillez

suivre les directives ci-dessous afin de prévenir les

accidents.

Avant de vous débarrasser de votre ancien

réfrigérateur ou congélateur :

■Démontez les portes.

■Laissez les clayettes en place afin d’empêcher les

enfants de grimper à l’intérieur.

Se débarrasser du CFC

Votre ancien réfrigérateur a un système de

refroidissement qui a utilisé les CFC

(chlorofluorocarbones). Les CFC sont jugés nocifs

pour l’ozone stratosphérique.

Si vous vous débarrassez de votre ancien

réfrigérateur, assurez-vous que le frigorigène avec

CFC soit enlevé correctement par un technicien

qualifié. Si vous libérez intentionnellement ce

frigorigène avec CFC vous pouvez être soumis aux

contraventions et à l’emprisonnement sous

provisions des lois sur l’environnement.

DANGER! RISQUES POUR LES ENFANTS

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Child entrapment and suffocation are not

problems of the past. Junked or abandoned

refrigerators are still dangerous…even if they

will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting

rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the

instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old

Refrigerator or Freezer:

■Take off the doors.

■Leave the shelves in place so that children

may not easily climb inside.

CFC Disposal

Your old refrigerator has a cooling system that

used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are

believed to harm stratospheric ozone.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,

make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for

proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you

intentionally release this CFC refrigerant you

can be subject to fines and imprisonment under

provisions of environmental legislation.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

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

against the use of an extension cord.

However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the

United States) or a CSA certified (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having

a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum)

and 120 volts.

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

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.

The refrigerator 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.

Never unplug your refrigerator 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 away from the

wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the

power cord.

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES.

LISEZ D’ABORD TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES.

AVERTISSEMENT!

RACCORDEMENT ÉLECTRIQUE

Ne coupez ni retirez en aucun cas la troisième broche (mise à la terre) de la fiche du cordon

d’alimentation. Pour votre sécurité, cet appareil doit être correctement mis à la terre.

Le cordon d’alimentation de cet appareil est muni

d’une fiche à 3 broches (mise à la terre) qui se

branche dans une prise murale ordinaire à 3

alvéoles (mise à la terre) pour réduire au minimum

les risques de chocs électriques.

Faites examiner la prise de courant et le circuit par

un électricien qualifié pour vous assurer que la prise

est correctement mise à la terre.

Si la prise murale est du type standard à 2 alvéoles, il

vous incombe de la faire remplacer par une prise à 3

alvéoles correctement mise à la terre.

Le réfrigérateur doit toujours être branché dans sa

propre prise de courant, dont la tension nominale est

identique à celle indiquée sur la plaque signalétique.

Cette précaution est recommandée pour garantir

un rendement optimum et éviter une surcharge des

circuits électriques de la résidence, ce qui pourrait

créer un risque d’incendie par surchauffe des fils.

Ne débranchez jamais le réfrigérateur en tirant sur le

cordon d’alimentation. Saisissez fermement la fiche

du cordon et tirez droit pour la retirer de la prise.

Réparez ou remplacez immédiatement tout cordon

effiloché ou endommagé. N’utilisez pas un cordon

fendillé ou présentant des signes d’usure.

Lorsque vous déplacez votre réfrigérateur du mur,

faites attention de ne pas le faire rouler sur le cordon

d’alimentation afin de ne pas l’endommager.

FICHE D’ADAPTATION

(Fiches d’adaptation non permises au Canada)

Nous vous recommandons fortement de ne pas utiliser une fiche d’adaptation à cause des risques

potentiels qu’elle présente dans certaines circonstances.

Toutefois, si vous décidez d’utiliser tout de même

une fiche d’adaptation, vous pouvez effectuer un

raccordement temporaire,

si les codes locaux le

permettent, dans une prise de courant à 2 alvéoles

adéquatement mise à la terre en utilisant une fiche

d’adaptation homologuée UL, en vente dans la

plupart des quincailleries.

La fente la plus longue de la fiche doit être alignée

avec la fente la plus longue de la prise murale afin

d’assurer la polarité appropriée pour le

branchement du cordon d’alimentation.

Lorsque vous débranchez le cordon d’alimentation

de la fiche d’adaptation, saisissez toujours la fiche

d’une main pendant que vous tirez sur la fiche du

cordon d’alimentation de l’autre. Sinon,

la borne de mise à la terre de la fiche d’adaptation

risque de casser avec le temps.

Si la borne de mise à la terre de la fiche casse,

N’UTILISEZ PAS

l’appareil tant qu’une mise à la terre

adéquate n’aura pas été rétablie.

Le fait de fixer la borne de mise à la terre de la fiche

d’adaptation à la plaque de la prise de courant n’assure

pas automatiquement la mise à la terre de l’appareil. Il

faut que la vis soit en métal, non isolée, et que la prise de

courant soit mise à la terre par l’entremise du câblage de

la résidence. Faites vérifier le circuit par un électricien

qualifié pour vous assurer que la prise est adéquatement

mise à la terre.

Veuillez lire et suivre attentivement ces mesures de sécurité.

CONSERVEZ CES DIRECTIVES

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS

(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)

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

the use of an adapter plug.

However, if you must use an adapter, where local

codes permit, a

temporary connection

may be made

to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use

of a UL-listed adapter available at most local

hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with

the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper

polarity in the connection of the power cord.

When disconnecting the power cord from the

adapter, always hold the adapter in place with

one hand while pulling the power cord plug with

the other hand. If this is not done, the adapter

ground terminal is very likely to break with

repeated use.

If the adapter ground terminal breaks,

DO NOT

USE

the refrigerator until a proper ground has

been established.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet

cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the

cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall

outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You should

have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to

make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.

Cleaning the Outside

The door handles and trim

(on some

models). Clean with a cloth dampened

with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.

Keep the outside clean.

Wipe with a clean

cloth lightly dampened with kitchen

appliance wax or mild liquid dish

detergent. Dry and polish 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 erode the paint. Do not use scouring

pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners

containing bleach because these products can

scratch and weaken the paint finish.

Cleaning the Inside

To help prevent odors,

leave an open box

of baking soda in the fresh food and

freezer compartments.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.

If this is not practical, wring excess

moisture out of sponge or cloth when

cleaning around switches, lights or

controls.

Use an appliance wax polish on the

inside surface between the doors.

Use warm water and baking soda solution—

about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda

to a quart (1 l) of water. This both cleans

and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.

After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a

thin layer of petroleum jelly to the door

gaskets at the hinge side. This helps keep

the gaskets from sticking and bending

out of shape.

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves (on some

models) with hot water because the extreme

temperature difference may cause them to

break. Handle glass shelves carefully. Bumping

tempered glass can cause it to shatter.

Water Supply to the Icemaker

(on some models)

If the refrigerator has an icemaker, it will have to

be connected to a cold water line.

A water supply kit (containing copper tubing,

shutoff valve, fittings and instructions) is

available at extra cost from your dealer or

from Parts and Accessories, 800-626-2002.

Refrigerator Location

Do not install the refrigerator where the

temperature will go below 60°F (16°C)

because it will not run often enough to

maintain proper temperatures.

Install it on a floor strong enough to support it

fully loaded.

Clearances

Allow the following clearances for ease

of installation, proper air circulation and

plumbing and electrical connections:

Sides ..........................3/4 (19 mm)″

Top ............................1 (25 mm)″

Back ..........................1 (25 mm)″

Rollers and Leveling Legs

Leveling legs

near each front corner of the

refrigerator are adjustable. They firmly position

the refrigerator and prevent it from moving

when the doors are opened. Leveling legs should

be set so the front of the refrigerator is raised just

enough that the doors close easily when opened

about halfway.

Installing the water line.

Shut Off the Main Water Supply

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.

Install the Shutoff Valve

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest

frequently used drinking water line.

Choose a location for the valve that is easily

accessible. It is best to connect into the side

of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary

to connect into a horizontal water pipe, make

the connection to the top or side, rather than

at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any

sediment from the water pipe.

Drill a 1/4 hole in the water pipe, using a″

sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from

drilling the hole in the pipe.

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe

with the pipe clamp.

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing

washer begins to swell.

Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper

tubing.

Route the Copper Tubing and Connect It to the Shutoff Valve

Route the copper tubing between the cold water

line and the refrigerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the

wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent

base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.

Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing [about

8 feet (244 cm) coiled into 3 turns of about 10

″

(25 cm) diameter] to allow the refrigerator to

move out from the wall after installation.

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)

onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the

shutoff valve.

Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the

valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.

Turn On the Water and Flush Out the Tubing

Turn the main water supply on and flush out

the tubing until the water is clear.

Shut the water off at the water valve after

about one quart (1 l) of water has been

flushed through the tubing.

not vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or

against the wall.

Push the refrigerator back to the wall.

Start the Icemaker

Set the icemaker feeler arm to the

(down)

position. The icemaker will not begin to operate

until it reaches its operating temperature of 15°F

(-9°C) or below. It will then begin operation

automatically if the icemaker feeler arm is in

the

(down) position.

NOTE: The icemaker may double-cycle when it

first starts, causing some water spillage from

the icemaker into the ice bucket. This is normal

and should not happen again.

Normal operating sounds.

Depending on the placement of the refrigerator in your kitchen,

you may want to place a piece of rubber-backed carpet under

the refrigerator to reduce noise.

The fan circulating air inside the freezer which keeps the temperatures even.

Boiling water or a gurgling noise. The flow of refrigerant through the freezer

cooling coils.

Sizzling, hissing or popping sound. Water dropping on the defrost heater

during the defrost cycle.

Cracking or popping sound. Cooling coils expanding and contracting during

the defrosting cycle.

Water dripping as it melts from the evaporator and flows to the drain pan

during the defrost cycle.

Icemaker (on some models)

The icemaker water valve will buzz when the icemaker fills with water. If the

feeler arm is in the

(down) position it will buzz even if it has not yet been

hooked up to water. Keeping the feeler arm in the

(down) position

before it is hooked up to water can damage the icemaker. To prevent this,

raise the feeler arm to the

STOP

(up) position. This will stop the buzzing.

The sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running in pipes as

icemaker refills.
