IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING
Suffocation and child entrapment hazard.
Remove fresh-food and freezer doors from the refrigerator, prior to disposal. Failure to do so can result
in child entrapment which can lead to death or brain damage.
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 fresh food and freezer doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.
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.

WARNING
Scalding Hazard.
The hot water dispenser is capable of heating water to a temperature of approximately 185°F (85°C).
Water temperatures above 125°F (52°C) can cause severe burns or death from scalding. Children, the
disabled, and the elderly are at highest risk of being scalded.
The water coming from the dispenser is very hot. Use
extreme caution when dispensing and drinking water. Allow
water to cool to a drinkable temperature before drinking.
When dispensing water below 125ÛF, always test the
temperature of the water before drinking.
When dispensing hot water, the container can become
very hot. Use a temperature insulating container, such
as ceramic or Styrofoam. Using container materials such
as paper or plastic may result in a burn while holding the
cup. Do not use glass containers, as thermal shock can
cause the container to break and may result in scalding or
lacerations.
Do not permit children to use the hot water dispenser.
The hot water dispensing knob requires both twist and
push motions in order to reduce the risk of hot water being
dispensed unintentionally or by small children. Do not
tamper with or modify the hot water dispensing knob.
Always follow the formula manufacturer’s instructions for
preparation of baby formula.
Hold your cup or container close to the dispensing point to
minimize splashing of hot water that could contact your
hand. Do not dispense hot water into a cup resting on the
dispenser tray, as this will increase water splash.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality.
The hot water dispenser is designed to only dispense water.
Do not attempt to heat or dispense anything other than
water. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean the tank.
A newly installed water filter cartridge will cause water to
spurt from the dispenser. Run 2 gallons of water through
the cold water dispenser (about 5 minutes) to remove air
from the system. Until this air is removed from the system
through the cold water dispenser, DO NOT use the hot water
dispenser as it may result in spurting of hot water and lead
to hot water scalding.
The hot water dispensing tank is a non-pressurized tank,
with a vent on the tank and a dispenser tube outlet. Do
not modify the system, close or block the dispense tube, or
connect any other type of device to the tank or dispense
tube. Doing so may lead to rupture of the tank and hot
water scalding.
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual. To reduce the risk of severe burns,
scald injuries, or death when using your hot water dispenser, the instructions below must be followed:
