IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS Before the refrigerator-freezer is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following: Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do not use an extension cord.
DANGER! Risk of child entrapment! Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous, even if they will "just sit in the garage a few days." Before you throw away your old refrigerator: Take off the doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside. Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the refrigerator. Use two or more people to move and install the refrigerator-freezer.

Installation CAUTION: After unpacking you MUST allow this appliance to stand upright for at least 2 hours to allow the lubricant and refrigerant to drain back into the compressor and stabilize. Failure to do so may adversely affect performance and the lifetime of this unit. Unpacking Your Refrigerator-Freezer: WARNING: Use two or more people to move this appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Leveling: If the appliance is not leveled during installation, the doors may not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems. It is very important for the refrigerator-freezer to be level in order to function properly. To level your refrigerator-freezer you may either turn the adjustable foot clockwise to raise that side of the appliance or turn it counter-clockwise to lower that side.

Freezing Fresh Food Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic conditions as freezing alone does not sterilize the food. It is advisable to freeze the food by packing it into separate meal portions and not in bulk form. Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the freezer compartment. Prior to storing the frozen food, pack it in plastic bags, aluminum sheets or freezer containers and place into the freezer compartment.
Changing the Reversible Door: Before reversing the door swing, be sure the appliance is unplugged and empty. Provide additional support for the doors while hinges are being removed. Do not depend on the door magnets to hold the door in place. It is recommended that two people perform this task. DO NOT lay the appliance completely flat as this may damage the coolant system. Remove right bottom hinge and reserve the screws. Remove screw covers at left corner and put them into the screw holes at right corner.
Remove right pin assemblies from the bottom of the freezer and refrigerator doors. On the opposite side, attach the replacement pin assemblies (located in the plastic bag with the Use and Care Manual) with a screwdriver. NOTE: You must re-use the screws from the pin assemblies that are removed in this step when attaching the new assemblies. Place the refrigerator door on the bottom hinge. Be sure the door is aligned horizontally and vertically.
Troubleshooting In case of malfunction, you can solve many common problems easily. If your refrigerator-freezer does not operate: Is the power supply cord plugged in? If the doors will not close completely: Are the drawers and/or shelves out of position? Are the gaskets dirty? Is the refrigerator-freezer level? If the refrigerator-freezer is noisy when running: Check that the appliance is level and is not in contact with another appliance or article of kitchen furniture.
