IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions: ■ Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. ■ Use nonflammable cleaner. ■ Do not remove ground prong. ■ Do not use an adapter. ■ Do not use an extension cord. ■ Disconnect power before servicing. ■ Replace all parts and panels before operating. ■ Remove doors from your old refrigerator. ■ Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. ■ Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. ■ Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker kit ready models only). ■ Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice (on some models). ■ Do not hit the refrigerator glass doors (on some models). SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator WARNING Suffocation Hazard Remove doors from your old refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage. 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. IMPORTANT: 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 these instructions to help prevent accidents. REFRIGERATOR USE Install Air Filter (on some models) On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes an air filter, which must be installed prior to use. On some models, the air filter is already installed at the factory. Installing the Air Filter (on some models) The filter should be installed behind the vented door, which is located (depending on your model) along either the rear or left interior wall near the top of the refrigerator compartment. 1. Remove the air filter from its packaging. 2. Lift open the vented door. 3. Snap the filter into place. Installing the Filter Status Indicator (on some models) The filter comes with a status indicator, which should be activated and installed at the same time the air filter is installed. The air filter reduces the buildup of odors. This helps to maintain a cleaner environment inside the refrigerator. REPLACE MONTHS 1. Place the indicator face-down on a firm, flat surface. 2. Apply pressure to the bubble on the back of the indicator, until the bubble pops to activate the indicator. 3. Lift open the vented air filter door. On some models, there are notches behind the door. 2
