READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This Owner’s Guide provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use your refrigerator only as instructed in this guide. 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.
Record Your Model and Serial Numbers
Record the model and serial numbers in the space provided below. The serial plate is located on the upper left wall inside the refrigerator.

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.

Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in use, even if it is being discarded.
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 AW AY YOUR OLD REFRIGERA TOR/FREEZER:
Remove doors.
Leave shelves in place
so children may not easily climb inside.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS REFRIGERATOR.
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.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the design of this refrigerator will operate properly.
Refrigerator must be plugged into its own 1 15 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 shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three­prong 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.

• If voltage varies by 10% or more, performance of your refrigerator may be affected. Operating refrigerator with insufficient power can damage the compressor.
• To prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentically, do not plug unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.
• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the cord in any manner.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle.
• To avoid electrical shock, unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb.
NOTE: Turning the temperature control to OFF turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb or other electrical components.
• Do not operate refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
Avoid fire hazard or
electric shock. Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug. Do not remove any prong from the power cord.
Allow space around the unit for good air circulation.
Leave a 3 inch (75 mm) space on all sides of the refrigerator for adequate circulation.
Installation
NOTE: The exterior walls of the refrigerator may become quite warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30° F warmer than room temperature can be expected. For this reason it is particularly important in hotter climates to allow enough space for air circulation around your refrigerator.
LEVELING
The refrigerator must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator. NOTE: It is Very Important for your refrigerator to be level in order to function properly. If the refrigerator is not leveled during installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
FIRST STEPS
This Owner’s Guide provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this Owner’s Guide. Before starting the refrigerator, follow
these important first steps.
INST ALLA TION
• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
• For the most efficient operation, the refrigerator should be located where surrounding temperatures will not drop below 10° F (-12° C) or exceed 1 10° F (43° C). The Freeze Control Feature is designed to automatically maintain the selected interior refrigerator temperature within these boundaries.
To Level Your Refrigerator:
After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter’s level to level the refrigerator from front-to-back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left halfway open.
Unpacking and Leveling

CLEANING
• Wash any removable parts of the refrigerator interior, and exterior with mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry.
Do not use harsh cleaners on these surfaces.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments, which can scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild deter­gent, or touch the residue with the sticky side of tape already removed. Do not remove the serial plate.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat- producing appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher.
• Level the refrigerator so the door close tightly.
• Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient, which could cause food spoilage.
• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
• Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
DOOR REMOVAL
If door must be removed to fit through narrow doorways:
1. Gently lay refrigerator on its back, on a throw rug or blanket.
2. Remove the base panel by unscrewing two screws from front of base panel.
3. At the top of the cabinet, lift up plastic hinge cover, and fold back. (Figure 1)
4. Use a Phillips® screwdriver to loosen and retighten the screws on the top hinge to ensure a secure assembly, and prevent hinge slippage.
5. Remove the top hinge from cabinet, and lift door off lower hinge pin.
6. After door is removed, remove the two screws from the bottom hinge.
7. To replace door, reverse above order.
COOL DOWN PERIOD
For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for the refrigerator to cool down completely. The refrigerator will run continuously for the first several hours.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The temperature control is located inside the refrigerator. The temperature is factory preset to provide satisfactory food storage temperatures. However, the temperature control is adjustable to provide a range of temperatures for your personal satisfaction. If a colder temperature is desired, turn the temperature control knob toward COLDEST and allow several hours for temperatures to stabilize between adjustments.

ADJUSTABLE INTERIOR SHELVES
WARNING
Multi-position adjustable interior shelves can be moved to any position for larger or smaller packages. The shipping spacers that stabilize the shelves for shipping should be removed and discarded.
CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING THE INSIDE
Wash inside surfaces of the refrigerator with a solution of two tablespoons of baking soda in one quart (1.136 litres) warm water. Rinse and dry. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
Wash the removable parts with the baking soda solution mentioned above, or mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any surface. Do
not wash removable parts in a dishwasher.
Adjustable Interior Shelves
Adjustable Interior Shelves
and Slide-Out Basket
SLIDE-OUT BASKET
A Slide-Out Basket (some models) located at the bottom of the refrigerator, provides separate storage space for items that are difficult to store on refrigerator shelves. To remove the basket, pull out and lift up.
AUTOMATIC FREEZE CONTROL
The Freeze Control Feature will maintain proper interior refrigerator temperature even when the refrigerator is placed in an area where the surrounding temperature drops down to 10° F (-12° C).
INTERIOR LIGHT
The light comes on automatically when the door is opened. To replace the light bulb, turn the temperature control to OFF and unplug the electrical cord. Replace the old bulb with a bulb of the same wattage.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE
Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid deter­gent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Replace parts and food.
If leaving the refrigerator door open while on vacation, make certain that children cannot get into the refrigerator and become entrapped.
VACATION AND MOVING TIPS
Vacations:
If the refrigerator will not be used for several months:
• Remove all food and unplug the power cord.
• Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
• Leave the refrigerator door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth.
Moving: When moving the refrigerator, follow these guide­lines to prevent damage:
• Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
• Remove foods and clean the refrigerator.
• Secure all loose items by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
• In the moving vehicle, secure refrigerator in an upright position to prevent movement. Also protect outside of refrigerator with a blanket, or similar item.
