IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owners Manual.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONSWhen using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

n

n This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in accordance with the InstallationInstructions before it is used.

n

n Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the shelves in the refrigerator. They coulddamage the refrigerator and seriously injurethemselves.

n

n Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer com-partment when hands are damp or wet. Skin maystick to these extremely cold surfaces.

n

n Do not store or use gasoline or other flammablevapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or anyother appliance.

n

n In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating elementthat releases the cubes. Do not place fingers orhands on the automatic icemaking mechanismwhile the refrigerator is plugged in.

n

n Keep fingers out of the pinch point areas; clear-ances between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.

n

n Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and mak-ing repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performedby a qualified individual.

n

n Turning the control to the OFF or 0 position doesnot remove power to the light circuit.

n

n Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATORChild entrapment and suffocation are not problemsof the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators arestill dangerouseven if they will sit for just a fewdays. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator,please follow the instructions below to help preventaccidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigeratoror Freezer:n Take off the doors.

n Leave the shelves in place so that children maynot easily climb inside.

CFC DisposalYour old refrigerator has a cooling system that usedCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed toharm stratospheric ozone.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, makesure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper dis-posal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionallyrelease this CFC refrigerant you can be subject tofines and imprisonment under provisions of envi-ronmental legislation.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDSBecause 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 UnitedStates) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a groundingtype plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITYDo not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For per-sonal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a stan-dard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimizethe possibility of electric shock hazard from thisappliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a quali-fied electrician to make sure the outlet is properlygrounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encoun-tered, it is your personal responsibility and obliga-tion to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into itsown individual electrical outlet which has a voltagerating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also pre-vents overloading house wiring circuits which couldcause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on thepower cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straightout from the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords thathave become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do notuse a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damagealong 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.

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 localcodes permit, a temporary connection may be madeto a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available at most local hard-ware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned withthe larger slot in the wall outlet to provide properpolarity in the connection of the power cord.

When disconnecting the power cord from theadapter, always hold the adapter in place with onehand while pulling the power cord plug with theother hand. If this is not done, the adapter groundterminal is very likely to break with repeated use.

If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOT USEthe refrigerator until a proper ground has beenestablished.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outletcover screw does not ground the appliance unless thecover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall out-let is grounded through the house wiring. You should havethe circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make surethe outlet is properly grounded.

Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

When Your Refrigerator Is First Plugged In

How the Monitor and Diagnostic System Works

All panel lights come on for five seconds, a beep sounds, and lights go off except asfollows:

n PF flashes in the display. Touch SYSTEMCHECK-RESET to erase it.

n NORMAL glows.

n WARM TEMP glows until the refrigeratorcools down. It goes off when proper food-keeping temperature is reached.

n Door alarm beeper is activated and DOORALARM glows.

n CRUSHED ICE glows.

n DOOR OPEN flashes if either door is open,goes out when doors are shut.

n Night light in ice and water dispenser is off.

How to Set the Door AlarmTo set the alarm press DOOR ALARM until itglows.

The control beeps if either door is open formore than 30 seconds.

The light goes out and the beeping stopswhen you close the door.

DOOR ALARMON/OFF

Why the WARM TEMP Light GlowsAt first, its probably because your newly-installed refrigerator hasnt completelycooled down yet. Wait a few hours for it tocool, and then the light will go out.

From then on, WARM TEMP will glow when-ever temperatures inside get too high forproper food storage. If this happens, openthe doors only when absolutely necessary,and close them as quickly as possible.

As soon as inside temperatures return tonormal, the light goes out.

If WARM TEMP reappears and stays on forlonger than 4 hours, call for service.

WARMTEMP

The diagnostic code flashes and the controlbeeps when something starts to go wrong.

If more than one coded function requiresattention at the same time, the one with thehighest priority will be displayed first.

Pressing SYSTEM CHECK-RESET will erasetwo codes immediatelyPF and CI. The dEand FF codes can only be erased by pressingSYSTEM CHECK-RESET after the conditionthat caused the code to flash has been cor-rected.

SYSTEM CHECK-RESET will also evaluate all other coded functions. If NORMAL is lit during the displaying of a code, that func-tion is operating properly.

What the Codes MeanCheck your frozen food. Has any of it started to thaw? A package may be holding the freezercompartment door open. Dont open the door more often than absolutely necessary whilethis code is displayed. Touching SYSTEM CHECK-RESET after the freezer compartment tem-perature has returned to normal will erase the code.

Power to the refrigerator has been interrupted for more than two seconds. Check the conditionof food in both the fresh food and freezer compartments. Touch SYSTEM CHECK-RESET to erase the code.

There is no fault with the refrigerator when the PF code flashes.

Check the icemaker. Ice clumps in the storage bin may have stalled the icemaker. Follow cor-rective measures described in Troubleshooting Tips. If water supply to the icemaker is not connected or not turned on, make sure the icemaker feeler arm is in the STOP (up)position. The code stops flashing when problem is corrected or SYSTEM CHECK-RESET is touched.

Something is wrong with the defrost systemkeep doors closed to retain cold and call for serv-ice. The code flashes until problem is corrected.

About ice service.

Automatic Icemaker (on some models)The icemaker will produce eight cubes per cycleapproxi-mately 120 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freez-er compartment temperature, room temperature, numberof door openings and other use conditions.

If the refrigerator is operated before the water connectionis made to the icemaker, raise the ice access door and makesure the feeler arm is in the STOP (up) position.

When the refrigerator has been connected to the watersupply, move the feeler arm to the ON (down) position.

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to freezing. Anewly-installed refrigerator may take 8 to 12 hours to beginmaking ice cubes.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the waterline to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the swing of the feeler arm.

It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will becomecloudy and taste stale.

About the automatic icemaker.A newly-installed refrigerator may take 8 to 12 hours to begin making ice.

Icemaker Accessory Kit

If your refrigerator did not come already equipped with an automatic icemaker, anicemaker accessory kit is available at extra cost. Check the back of the refrigerator forthe specific icemaker kit needed for your model.

Water Supply Kit

A kit containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings and instructions needed to con-nect the icemaker to your cold water line is available at extra cost from your dealer orfrom Parts and Accessories, 800-626-2002.

See the Preparing to install the refrigerator section.

Ice Trays

To release ice cubes, turn the tray upsidedown, hold it over a container, and twistboth ends.

About the ice and water dispenser.On some models

To Use the DispenserPress the rim of the glass gently against thedispenser pad.

Select CUBES , CRUSHED ICE (onsome models) or WATER .

The spill shelf is not self-draining. Toreduce water spotting, the shelf and its grilleshould be cleaned regularly.

If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator isfirst installed, there may be air in the water linesystem. Press the dispenser pad for at least twominutes to remove trapped air from the waterline and to fill the water system. To flush outimpurities in the water line, throw away the firstsix glassfuls of water.

A light switch (on some models) turns thenight light in the dispenser on or off. Thelight also comes on when the dispenser padis pressed. The light in the dispenser shouldbe replaced with a 7-watt maximum bulbwhen it burns out.

CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other objects into the ice crusher dischargeopening.

Spill Shelf

Ice Storage BinTo remove:

Lift the left corner to free the bin from theshelf and pull the bin straight out while sup-porting it at front and rear.

To replace:

Slide the bin back until the tab on the binlocks into the slot on the shelf. If the bindoes not go all the way back, remove it androtate the drive mechanism 1/4 turn. Thenpush the bin back again.

Important Facts About Your Dispensern Add ice before filling the glass with a bev-

erage. This will prevent splashing, whichcould cause the ice selector switch to stick or bind.

n Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage bin. It may not crush or dis-pense well.

n Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use ofnarrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up icecan jam the chute or cause the door inthe chute to freeze shut. If ice is blockingthe chute, poke it through with a woodenspoon.

n Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the ice storage bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the stor-age bin may cause the icemaker or augerto jam.

n Some crushed ice may be dispensed eventhough you selected CUBES. This hap-pens occasionally when a few cubes acci-dentally get directed to the crusher.

n After crushed ice is dispensed, somewater may drip from the chute.

n Sometimes a mound of snow will form onthe door in the ice chute. This conditionis normal and usually occurs when youhave dispensed crushed ice repeatedly.The snow will eventually evaporate.

n Dispensed water is not ice cold. For cold-er water, simply add crushed ice or cubesbefore dispensing water.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.Cleaning the OutsideThe dispenser well (on some models),beneath the grille, should be wiped dry. Waterleft in the well may leave deposits. Removethe deposits by adding undiluted vinegar tothe well. Soak until the deposits disappearor become loose enough to rinse away.

The dispenser pad (on some models). Cleanwith warm water and baking soda solutionabout a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking sodato a quart (1 l) of water. Rinse thoroughlyand wipe dry.

HINT: Open the freezer door part way to preventdispensing of ice or water when cleaning.

The door handles and trim. Clean with a cloth dampened with soapy water. Dry witha soft cloth.

The stainless steel panels and door handles(on some models) can be cleaned with acommercially available stainless steel clean-er using a clean, soft cloth.

Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a cleancloth lightly dampened with kitchen appli-ance wax or mild liquid dish detergent. Dryand polish with a clean, soft cloth.

Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dishcloth or wet towel. These may leave a residuethat can erode the paint. Do not use scouringpads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners con-taining bleach because these products canscratch and weaken the paint finish.

Press here toremove grille.

Cleaning the InsideTo help prevent odors, leave an open box ofbaking soda in the fresh food and freezercompartments.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If thisis not practical, wring excess moisture out ofsponge or cloth when cleaning aroundswitches, lights or controls.

Use warm water and baking soda solutionabout a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking sodato a quart (1 l) of water. This both cleansand neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.

After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thinlayer of petroleum jelly to the door gasketsat the hinge side. This helps keep the gas-kets from sticking and bending out ofshape.

Drain opening in freezer compartment. Duringyearly cleaning, remove bottom freezer bas-ket and flush a solution of baking soda1teaspoon (5 ml) and 2 cups (500 ml) of hot(not boiling) waterthrough the drain line with the help of a meat baster. This willhelp eliminate odor and reduce the likeli-hood of a clogged drain line. If drainbecomes clogged, use a meat baster andbaking soda solution to force the clogthrough the drain line.

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves (onsome models) with hot water becausethe extreme temperature difference maycause them to break. Handle glassshelves carefully. Bumping temperedglass can cause it to shatter.

Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher except Quick Serve dishesand lids.

Behind the RefrigeratorBe careful when moving the refrigeratoraway from the wall. All types of floor cover-ings can be damaged, particularly cush-ioned coverings and those with embossedsurfaces.

Pull the refrigerator straight out and returnit to position by pushing it straight in.Moving the refrigerator in a side directionmay result in damage to the floor coveringor refrigerator.

When pushing the refrigerator back,make sure you dont roll over the powercord or icemaker supply line (on somemodels).

Under the RefrigeratorFor most efficient operation, keep the area under the refrigerator clean. Removethe base grille and sweep away or vacuumup dust.

For best results, use a brush speciallydesigned for this purpose. It is available atmost appliance parts stores.

To remove the base grille, open both doors,grasp the bottom of the grille and pull it out.

To replace base grille, line up the clips on theback of the grille with the openings in thebase plate and push the grille forward untilit snaps into place.

Clean the condenser coils at leastonce a year.

Preparing for VacationFor long vacations or absences, removefood and unplug the refrigerator. Move the control to the OFF or 0 position, andclean the interior with a baking soda solu-tion of one tablespoon (15 ml) of bakingsoda to one quart (1 l) of water. Leave thedoors open.

Move the icemaker feeler arm (on somemodels) to the STOP (up) position and shutoff the water supply to the refrigerator.

If the temperature can drop below freezing,have a qualified servicer drain the watersupply system (on some models) to preventserious property damage due to flooding.

Preparing to MoveSecure all loose items such as grille, shelves and drawers by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.

Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.

Preparing to install the refrigerator.Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Water Supply to the Icemaker (on some models)If the refrigerator has an icemaker, it will have to beconnected to a cold water line.

A water supply kit (containing copper tubing, shut-off valve, fittings and instructions) is available at extra cost from your dealer or from Parts andAccessories, 800-626-2002.

Refrigerator LocationDo not install the refrigerator where the tempera-ture will go below 60F (16C) because it will not run often enough to maintainproper temperatures.

Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.

ClearancesAllow the following clearances for ease of installa-tion, proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical connections:

Sides 5/8 (15 mm)

Top 1 (25 mm)If built-in, allow 7/8 (22 mm) for hinge covers.

Back 1 (25 mm)

If the refrigerator is against a wall on either side, allow the followingdoor clearances for a 90 door open-ing:

22 25 models 3/4 (19 mm)

27 models 11/2 (38 mm)

RollersThe rollers have 3 purposes:

Rollers adjust so the door closes easily whenopened about halfway. [Raise the front about5/8 (15 mm) from the floor.]

To assure that the doors will close automaticallyfrom a halfway open position, there is a built-in tiltfrom the front to the back of the cabinet. Side-by-side refrigerators also have specially designed doorhinges that lift both doors slightly when opened,allowing the force of gravity to help close themsecurely.

Rollers adjust so the refrigerator is firmly posi-tioned on the floor and does not wobble.

Rollers allow you to move the refrigerator awayfrom the wall for cleaning.

To adjust the rollers, remove the base grille by pullingit out at the bottom.

Turn the roller adjusting screws clockwise to raisethe refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it. Usean adjustable wrench (3/8 hex head bolt) or pliers.

To replace base grille, align prongs on back of grillewith clamps in cabinet and push forward until grillesnaps into place.

Installing the water line.Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Before You BeginWhen connecting a GE Reverse Osmosis Water System to your refrigerator, the onlyapproved installation is with a GE RVKIT.

If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration SystemAND the refrigerator also has a water filter, use the refrigerators filter bypass plug. Usingthe refrigerators water filtration cartridge in conjunction with the RO filter can result in hol-low ice cubes and slower water flow from the water dispenser.

This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer.Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker feeler arm is kept in the STOP (up) position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be surethe device is insulated or wired in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock.

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

What You Will NeedTo determine how much copper tubing you need:

Measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator to thewater supply pipe. Then add 8 feet (244 cm). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing[about 8 feet (244 cm) coiled into 3 turns of about 10 inches (25 cm) diameter] to allowthe refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

n A water supply kit (containing copper tubing, shutoff valve and fittings listed below) is avail-able at extra cost from your dealer or from Parts and Accessories, 800-626-2002.

n Cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.48.2 bar) onmodels without a water filter and between 40 and 120 p.s.i. (2.88.2 bar) on models with a water filter.

n Power drill.

n Copper tubing, 1/4 outer diameter to connect the refrigerator to the water supply. Be sureboth ends of the tubing are cut square.

Do not use plastic tubing or plastic fittings because the water supply line is underpressure at all times. Certain types of plastic tubing may become brittle with age andcrack, resulting in water leakage.

n Two 1/4 outer diameter compression nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves)to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.

n If your existing water line has a flared fitting at the end, you will need an adapter (available atplumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to the refrigerator OR you can cut off theflared fitting with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting.

n Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line. The shutoff valve should have a water inletwith a minimum inside diameter of 5/32 at the point of connection to the COLD WATERLINE. Saddle-type shutoff valves are included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing,make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

Troubleshooting TipsOperating Instructions

Safety InstructionsInstallation Instructions

Shut Off the Main Water SupplyTurn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.

Install the Shutoff ValveInstall the shutoff valve on the nearest frequent-ly used drinking water line.

Choose a location for the valve that is easilyaccessible. It is best to connect into the side of avertical water pipe. When it is necessary to con-nect into a horizontal water pipe, make the con-nection to the top or side, rather than at the bot-tom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from thewater pipe.

Drill a 1/4 hole in the water pipe, using a sharpbit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling thehole in the pipe.

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipewith the pipe clamp.

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing wash-er begins to swell.

Do not overtighten or you may crush the coppertubing.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal anduse is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with yourlicensed plumber.

Route the Copper Tubing and Connect It to the Shutoff ValveRoute the copper tubing between the cold waterline and the refrigerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wallor floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent basecabinet) as close to the wall as possible.

Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing [about 8feet (244 cm) coiled into 3 turns of about 10 (25 cm) diameter] to allow the refrigerator tomove out from the wall after installation.

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing and connect it to theshutoff valve.

Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve.Tighten the compression nut securely.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal anduse is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with yourlicensed plumber.

Turn On the Water and Flush Out the TubingTurn the main water supply on and flush out thetubing until the water is clear.

Shut the water off at the water valve after aboutone quart (1 L) of water has been flushedthrough the tubing.

Installing the water line.Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Connect the Tubing to the RefrigeratorBefore making the connection to the refrigera-tor, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.

We recommend installing a water filter if your watersupply has sand or particles that could clog thescreen of the refrigerators water valve. Install it inthe water line near the refrigerator.

Remove the plastic flexible cap from the watervalve (refrigerator connection).

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)onto the end of the tubing as shown.

Insert the end of the copper tubing into the water valve refrigerator connection as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tightenthe fitting.

Fasten the copper tubing into the clamp provid-ed to hold it in position. You may need to pry open the clamp.

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 new high efficiency compressor runs faster and will have a higher pitch humor pulsating sound while operating.

Defrost timer and refrigerator control click on and off.

The fan circulating air inside the freezer which keeps the temperatures through-out.

Water dropping on the defrost heater causing a sizzling, hissing or popping sound during the defrost cycle.

The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils sounds like boiling water or a gurgling noise.

Cracking or popping of cooling coils caused by expansion and contraction during defrost and refrigeration following defrost.

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 feelerarm is in the ON (down) position it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked upto water. Keeping the feeler arm in the ON (down) position before it is hooked upto water can damage the icemaker. To prevent this, raise the feeler arm to theSTOP (up) position. This will stop the buzzing.

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

MESURES DE SCURIT IMPORTANTES.LISEZ DABORD TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES.

AVERTISSEMENT!RACCORDEMENT LECTRIQUENe coupez ni retirez en aucun cas la troisime broche (mise la terre) de la fiche du cordondalimentation. Pour votre scurit, cet appareil doit tre correctement mis la terre.

Le cordon dalimentation de cet appareil est munidune fiche 3 broches (mise la terre) qui sebranche dans une prise murale ordinaire 3alvoles (mise la terre) pour rduire au minimumles risques de chocs lectriques.

Faites examiner la prise de courant et le circuit parun lectricien qualifi pour vous assurer que la priseest correctement mise la terre.

Si la prise murale est du type standard 2 alvoles, ilvous incombe de la faire remplacer par une prise 3alvoles correctement mise la terre.

Le rfrigrateur doit toujours tre branch dans sapropre prise de courant, dont la tension nominale estidentique celle indique sur la plaque signaltique.

Cette prcaution est recommande pour garantirun rendement optimum et viter une surcharge descircuits lectriques de la rsidence, ce qui pourraitcrer un risque dincendie par surchauffe des fils.

Ne dbranchez jamais le rfrigrateur en tirant sur lecordon dalimentation. Saisissez fermement la fichedu cordon et tirez droit pour la retirer de la prise.

Rparez ou remplacez immdiatement tout cordoneffiloch ou endommag. Nutilisez pas un cordonfendill ou prsentant des signes dusure.

Lorsque vous dplacez votre rfrigrateur du mur,faites attention de ne pas le faire rouler sur le cordondalimentation afin de ne pas lendommager.

FICHE DADAPTATION (Fiches dadaptation non permises au Canada)Nous vous recommandons fortement de ne pas utiliser une fiche dadaptation cause des risquespotentiels quelle prsente dans certaines circonstances.

Toutefois, si vous dcidez dutiliser tout de mmeune fiche dadaptation, vous pouvez effectuer unraccordement temporaire, si les codes locaux lepermettent, dans une prise de courant 2 alvolesadquatement mise la terre en utilisant une fichedadaptation homologue UL, en vente dans laplupart des quincailleries.

La fente la plus longue de la fiche doit tre aligneavec la fente la plus longue de la prise murale afindassurer la polarit approprie pour lebranchement du cordon dalimentation.

Lorsque vous dbranchez le cordon dalimentationde la fiche dadaptation, saisissez toujours la fichedune main pendant que vous tirez sur la fiche ducordon dalimentation de lautre. Sinon, la borne de mise la terre de la fiche dadaptationrisque de casser avec le temps.

Si la borne de mise la terre de la fiche casse,NUTILISEZ PAS lappareil tant quune mise la terreadquate naura pas t rtablie.

Le fait de fixer la borne de mise la terre de la fichedadaptation la plaque de la prise de courant nassurepas automatiquement la mise la terre de lappareil. Ilfaut que la vis soit en mtal, non isole, et que la prise decourant soit mise la terre par lentremise du cblage dela rsidence. Faites vrifier le circuit par un lectricienqualifi pour vous assurer que la prise est adquatementmise la terre.
