Pour votre sécurité, cet appareildoit être correctement mis à la terre.Le cordon d’alimentation de cet appareil estmuni d’une fiche à 3 broches (mise à la terre)qui se branche dans une prise mural ordinaireà 3 alvéoles (mise à la terre) pour réduire auminimum les risques du chocs électriques.Faites examiner la prise de courant et le circuitpar un électricien qualifié pour vous assurerque la prise est correctement mise à la terre.Si la prise murale est du type standard à 2 alvéoles,il vous incombe de la faire remplacer par une priseà 3 alvéoles correctement mise à la terre.La machine à glaçons doit toujours êtrebranché dans sa propre prise de courant,dont la tension nominale est identiqueà celle indiquée sur la plaque signalétique.Cette précaution est recommandée pour garantirun rendement optimum et éviter une surcharge descircuits électriques de la résidence, ce qui pourraitcréer un risque d’incendie par surschauffe des fils.Ne débranchez jamais l’appareil en tirant le cordond’alimentation. Saisissez fermement la fichedu cordon et tirez droit pour la retirer de la prise.Réparez ou remplacez immédiatement tout cordoneffiloché ou endommagé. N’utilisez pas un cordonfendillé ou présentant des signes d’usure.Lorsque vous déplacez l’appareil du mur, faitesattention de ne pas la faire rouler sur le cordond’alimentation afin de ne pas l’endommager.CORDONS PROLONGATEURSNous vous recommandons fortement de ne pasutíliser de cordons prolongateurs à cause desrisques potentiels qu’ils présentent dans certainesconditions.Toutefois si vous décidez d’utiliser tout de mêmeun cordon prolongateur, il est absolument nécessairequ’il s’agisse d’un cordon à 3 fils avec mise à la terrepour appareils électroménagers homologué ULaux États-Unis) ou homologué CSA (au Canada),pourvu d’une fiche et d’une prise mises à la terrede 15 ampères (minimum) et de 120 volts.CONSERVEZ CES DIRECTIVES7

Operating InstructionsStainless Steel RefrigeratorTemperaturecontrolsThe temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37 Ffor the fresh food compartment and 0 F for the freezercompartment. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilizeto the preset recommended settings.The temperature controls can display both the SEt temperatureas well as the actual temperature in the fresh food and freezercompartments. The actual temperature may vary slightlyfrom the SEt temperature based on usage and operatingenvironment.Setting either or both controls to oFF stops cooling in boththe freezer and fresh food compartments but does not shutoff electrical power to the refrigerator.NotE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film coveringthe temperature controls. If this film was not removed duringinstallation, remove it now.To change the temperature, press and releasethe(warmer) or(colder) pad. The SET lightwill come on and thedisplay will show the set temperature. To changethe temperature, tap either the(warmer) or(colder) pad until thedesired temperature is displayed. Fresh foodtemperatures can be adjusted between 34 Fand 44 F and the freezer temperatures can beadjusted between -6 F and 6 F.Once the desired temperature has beenset, the temperature display will return tothe actual fresh food and freezer temperaturesafter 5 seconds. Several adjustments maybe required. Each time you adjust controls,allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reachthe temperature you have set.PerformanceAir FlowSystem8The Performance Air-Flow System is designed tomaximize temperature control in the fresh foodand freezer compartments. This unique specialfeature consists of the Air Tower along the topand back walls of the fresh food compartmentand the Air Tunnel on the bottom portion ofthe freezer rear wall. Placing food in front ofthe louvers on these components will not affectperformance.To turn the cooling system off, tapthe(warmer) pad for either the fresh foodcompartment or the freezer until thedisplay shows OFF. To turn the unit back on,pressthe(colder) pad for either the fresh foodcompartment or freezer. The SET light willilluminate on the side you selected. Then pressthe(colder) pad again (on the side wherethe SET light is illuminated) and it will gotothe preset points of 0 F for the freezer and 37 Ffor the fresh food compartment.Although the Air Tower and the Air Tunnelcan be removed, doing so will affect temperatureperformance.
