IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
y
Your safety and the safety of others are very important to us.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your
appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
You can be seriously injured or even killed if you don’t follow instructions.
Safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, how to reduce the
chance of injury, and what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock or injury
when using your appliance, follow these basic precautions:
• Plug into a grounded 3-pr ong outle t.
• Do not remove ground prong, nor use a 3/2 adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Use care not to plug into outlets controlled by wall switches.
• Disconnect power before servicing.
• After servicing, replace all parts and panels before operating.
• Use nonflammable cleaners.
• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from
appliances.
• Use two or more people to move and install appliance.
NOTE: Drawer refrigerators are provided with anti-tip brackets. Always install
prior to use.
Proper disposal of an old appliance
:
Old appliances can represent a suffocation hazard to children.
Remove doors from your old appliance.
Leave shelves in place.
If an old appliance contains refrigerants, it must be recycled by a licensed service
or disposal company.

Installation Instructions
Excessive Weight Hazard !
Use two or more people to move and install your appl iance.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
ALLOW APPLIANCE TO SIT UPRIGHT FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE TURNING ON, TO
ALLOW THE COMPRESSOR LUBRICANT TO DRAIN.
1. Remove packaging materials.
2. Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the appliance.
Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers.
Rinse with warm water and dry.
3. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive
cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of
your appliance.
When Moving Your Appliance
4.
Your appliance is heavy. When moving the appliance for cleaning or service,
be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the appliance straight out when
moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the appliance when trying to move it,
because floor damage can occur.
5.

Location Requirements
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away
from appliances. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion or
death.
Location
IMPORTANT: Do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator, or other heat
source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall below 40°F (5°C). Do not
place in direct sunlight.
Check the strength of the floor before installing your appliance. It should hold the
weight of a fully loaded appliance. Allow at least 4” (10 cm) of airspace at t he top
and on both sides of the appliance and also 4” between the back of the appliance
and the wall. If the appliance is going to be placed next to a wall, leave extra
space on the hinge side so the door can open wider than its width.
NOTE: Allow 4” (10 cm) clearance at the top and sides and a ¼” (0.64 cm)
• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Do not remove ground prong.
• Do not use an adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord.

Leveling your appliance
Locate the two front leveling legs that may be taped among the packing materials. (In
many models these legs are already mount ed into the undersi de of the appliance.)
1. Screw these legs into the front holes on the bottom of t he appliance. The back of
the appliance rests on two fixed supports. (Built-in models also have rear level
legs that can provi de more precise leveling).
2. Adjust the f ront legs just enough to lift the cabinet up off the floor.
Note: If your model is equipped with front roll ers, the front legs should be lowered
enough to lift the rollers off the floor to ensure the appliance does not roll
forward when the door is opened.
3. Place a leveling tool on top of the appliance, firs t side to side, then front to back.
Turn leg counter-c lockwise to raise a corner. Turn leg clockwise to lower a corner.
4. Repeat Step 3 unti l appliance is level .
5. After appliance is fully loaded, recheck with level as in Step 3.
6. If your appliance is equipped wit h casters, the two front casters have brakes to
prevent rolli ng. Keep brakes lock ed, and unlock for moving only.
(some upright models):
When using the appliance
In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper airflow in the
appliance. Do not block off any air vents. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be
hindered, and temperature and moisture problems may occur. Always position
contents to all ow some airflow between shelves or baskets.
Allow the applia nce to cool at least 6 to 8 hour s before adding contents. All ow 24
hours for temperature to stabilize.
NOTE: When the appl ianc e i s fi rs t s tart ed, t he c ompr ess or wi ll run c ons tant l y unt i l t h e
appliance is cooled. It may take 6 to 8 hours (or longer), depending on room
temperature and the number of times the appliance door is opened. After the
appliance has cool ed, the compr essor will tur n on and off as needed t o keep the
appliance at the pro per temperature.
For optimum temperature performance, it is recommended that this unit be at
least 30% full during use. I f you are onl y usin g t his unit t o st ore smal l l oads, w e
recommend adding s ome water bott les or freezer packs to ensure t emperature
stability.
The outside of yo ur appl iance may f eel war m. This i s normal . The ap plianc e’s desi gn
and main function is to remove heat from packages and air space inside the
appliance. The heat is tr ans fer red to t he r oom air , mak ing t he out si de of t he appl ianc e
feel warm. (In s ome models the condenser that get s warm is jus t i nside the side walls,
making these wall s warm to the touch.)
:
ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
• The more airflow provided around an appliance, the less energy it will use.
• If your appliance requires manual defrosting, keep ice build-up to less than 1/2".
• Keep doors open a minimum of time, and shut securely.
6
Appliance Care
Cleaning a frost-free appliance
:
Use nonflammable cleaners.
Frost-free means t hat you do not have to defros t your appli ance. Frost is removed by
air moving and collecting any moisture and depositing it on the cooling coil. The
cooling coil per iodically warm s up enough t o melt the fr ost, and the wat er then flows
down to the drain pan (located behind the base grill) wher e it is evaporated.
Complete cleaning should be done at least once a year.
1. Unplug appliance or disconnect power.
2. Remove all stor ed items, plus shelves, trays, etc.
3. Wash the inside wal ls, shelves and tr ays with a solution of mild detergent in warm
water or 2 tbsp (26 g) baking soda to 1 qt (0.95 L) warm water.
• Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring
cleansers, fl ammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents,
bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts , interior
and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other
harsh cleaning tool s. These can scr atch or damage surfaces.
4. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
5. Use the appropriate cleaning method for the exterior finish.
Painted metal
detergent in war m water. Do not use abr asive or harsh clean ers, or cleaners
designed for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. For additional
protection agai nst damage to p ainted metal exteriors , apply applianc e wax (or
auto paste wax) with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wax plasti c parts.
6. Plug in appliance or reconnect power.
7. Replace all contai ners.
: Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
Cleaning a cycle defrost or manual defrost refrigerator
Cycle defrost m odels utilize a sys tem where ice bui lds up on the rear wall and melts
when the compressor is off. Manual defrost models continually build ice on inner
walls.
NEVER USE A METAL OBJECT TO REMOVE ICE FROM THE REAR WALL.
IF NEEDED, USE A PLASTIC ICE-SCR APER O R A HAI R DRYER.
Clean surfaces using the same instructions as for frost-free models.
For CSS Models (complet ely s tainl ess steel) , onl y use clean ers espe ciall y made
for stainless steel.

Temperature Selection and Monitoring
YOUR APPLIANCE MAY HAVE A MECHANICAL (DIAL) OR DIGITAL THERMOST AT.
DIAL INSTRUCTIONS ARE BELOW. DIGITAL INSTRUCTIONS ARE ON PAGE 10.
Manual (dial) thermostat
Your refrigerat or may be controlled with a thermostat knob located insi de the unit,
towards the right-hand corner. Turn the knob clockwise from the STOP (0) position
toward the higher numbers for colder t em peratures.
(on most models):
Setting the Temperature:
• Higher settings on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower temperatures
(colder) in all compartments of the appliance. The temperature inside a
refrigerator may even drop below 32°F. Use higher thermostat settings only
when required or recommended. When the ambient temperature is normal,
we recommend a medium setting.
• Changes of the ambient temperature affect temperature in the interior of the
appliance, so keep this in mind when choosing the setting of the thermostat
dial.
• At STOP (0) position, the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is
switched off), but the power supply is not interrupted (the light is on when you
open the refrigerator door).
• The temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer compartments also depend
on how often you open the door.
In all small refrigerators and freezers without interior fans, temperatures are
coldest near the bottom, and occasionally near the rear. Place contents
accordingly.
For optimum temperature performance, it is recom mended that this unit be at
least 30% full during use. If you are onl y using this u nit to stor e small loads,
we recommend adding some water bottles or freezer packs to ensure
temperature stabi lity.

Troubleshootin
g
Try these solutions first to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Your appliance will not operate:
•
Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tri ppe d?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
• I s the fr eeze r de fr os ti ng ( on some model s ) ?
Recheck to see whether the freezer is operating in 30 minutes. Your freezer will regularly run an
automatic defrost cycle.
There is water in the defrost drain pan (on some models):
•
Is the freezer defrosting?
The water will evaporate. It is norm al fo r wat er to dri p int o the defrost pan.
• Is it more humid than normal?
When it is humid, expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate.
The motor seems to run too much:
•
Is there excessive frost or a package preve nti ng t he door fr om closing?
Defrost and clean the freezer, or move the package so the door closes properly.
• I s the room tempe ra t ure hotter than normal?
The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures, the motor will run
about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, it will run even more.
• Has a large amount of food just been added to the freezer?
Adding a large amount of food warms the freezer. The motor normally will run longer to cool the
freezer back down.
• I s the door cl os e d comple t el y?
Push the door firmly shut. If it will not shut all the way, see The door will not close completely later
in this section.
• Are the condenser coils dirty (on some models)?
This prevents heat transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils.
• I s the door gasket sealed all the way around?
If not, contact a qualified technician.
NOTE: If the problem is not due to any of the above, remember that the compressor on your new
appliance will operate longer than your old one due to its high-efficiency motor.
Temperature is too warm:
