PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS This Owner’s Guide provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use your refrigerator only as instructed in this manual. These instructions are not meant to cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Common sense and caution must be practiced when installing, operating and maintaining any appliance. Please record your model and serial numbers below for future reference. This information is found on the serial plate located inside the refrigerator compartment. NOTE: Use only soap and water to clean serial plate. Model Number: 253 or: 970 Serial Number: Purchase Date: Important Safety Instructions Please Read All Instructions Before Using This Refrigerator. FOR YOUR SAFETY • Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product labels for warnings regarding flammability and other hazards. • Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes. • Avoid contact with any moving parts of automatic ice maker. • Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts, and also destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture. CHILD SAFETY Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children should NEVER use these items to play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation. PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER Risk of child entrapment Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents. Before you throw away your old refrigerator/ freezer: • Remove doors. • Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside. • Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician. 3 ENGLISH These Guidelines Must Be Followed To Ensure That Safety Mechanisms In This Refrigerator Will Operate Properly. ELECTRICAL INFORMATION • The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only electric outlet. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug. • Immediately repair or replace any power cord that becomes frayed or damaged. • Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord. • Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock. • Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty. • Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally. • Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI) circuit. Important Safety Instructions (cont.) NOTE: Turning the freezer temperature control to “O” turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect electrical power to the light bulb or other electrical components.

FOR YOUR SAFETY Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings. CHILD SAFETY • Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children should never use these items to play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation. • Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts, and destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture. • An empty, discarded ice box, refrigerator, or freezer is a very dangerous attraction to children. • Remove and discard any spacers used to secure the shelves during shipping. Small objects are a choke hazard to children. TABLE OF CONTENTS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Proper Disposal of Your Refrigerator/Freezer Risk of child entrapment. Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous — even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents. BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER: • Remove doors. • Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside. Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in use, even if it is being discarded. 1 READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS This Owner’s Guide provides specific operating instructions for your model.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency. = Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan. =Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. = Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners--To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners. = Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spiliovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt. * Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line surface burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire. , Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/ ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN • Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer-- Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven. ° Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is located below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe bums. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite. * Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool If rack must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving. * Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. ° Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil Exposed fat and grease could ignite. o Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control When using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has not been used for an extended period of time, be certain the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours before turning on the power to the appliance. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE • Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
