6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), which is combustible.
When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts
of the refrigerating circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or
cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of
ignition and air out the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes.
In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating
circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the
amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 10.8 square feet (1 square meter) in size for
every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your
particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance. Never start up an
appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

CAUTION

CAUTION
• To reduce the risk of minor or moderate injury to persons, malfunction, or damage to the product or
property when using this product, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Installation
• Do not install the refrigerator where there may be a danger of the unit falling.
• The refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions.
• This appliance does not require changes in installation or use based on altitude.
Operation
• This appliance is intended to be used only in domestic and similar applications.
• Do not scratch the refrigerator with a sharp object or use a detergent that contains alcohol, a flammable
liquid or an abrasive when removing any tape or adhesive from the refrigerator. Remove adhesive
residue by wiping it off with your thumb or dish detergent.
• Do not peel off the model or serial number label or the technical information on the rear surface of the
refrigerator.
• Putting food in the refrigerator before it has cooled could cause the food to spoil, or a bad odor to
remain inside the refrigerator.
• Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment door and dispenser chute. Failure to do so may result
in damage or personal injury.
• Keep the ice compartment door closed tightly. If the ice compartment door is not closed tightly, the cold
air in the ice bin will freeze food in the refrigerator compartment. This could also cause the icemaker to
stop producing ice.
• Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will damage the icemaker.
• Store only ice in the ice bin. Do not store ice scooping tools or other items in the ice bin.
• Ice may overflow when removing or assembling the ice bin. Remove any ice in the bin area before
assembling the ice bin.
• Make sure that the ice bin is assembled in the correct orientation front to back.
• Models with two ice bins in the freezer:
- The Craft Ice bin is located on the left and the Mini Cubed Ice bin is located on the right. Do not
change the positions of the two ice bins.
- Do not store Craft Ice in the Mini Cubed Ice bin or Mini Cubed Ice in the Craft Ice bin.
