This appliance is equipped with a three-pronged

grounding plug for your protection against possible
electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged into a
grounding receptacle. Where a standard two-prong

wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal

responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it
replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall

receptacle. Do not under any circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug.

Installation

Your new refrigerator was packed carefully for

shipment. Remove and discard shelf packing and tape.

Location

• Allow for a free flow of air through the front base
grille.

• Install the refrigerator where the room temperature

will not go below 55° F.With temperatures below

55° E the refrigerator will not run frequently enough

to maintain proper temperature in the freezer.

• Allow a minimum '/2" clearance on the sides, top and
back for ease of installation. If refrigerator is placed

with the door hinge side against a wall, you may
want to allow additional space so the door can be

opened wider.

• Use caution when installing the unit on vinyl or
hardwood floors so as not to mark or otherwise

damage the flooring. A piece of plywood, a rug or
other material should be used to protect the floor

while positioning the unit.

Front Base Grille

The front base grille was packaged inside the

refrigerator for shipment and should be installed after

the refrigerator has been leveled.

To Install:

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two Phillips
head screws at the base of the refrigerator.

Align the base grille to the screw holes. (The cut out

side on the base grille installs around the lower
hinge of the door.)

Secure the base grille into place by reinstalling the
Phillips screws back into their original screw holes.

Leveling

To enhance its appearance and to maintain

performance, your refrigerator should be leveled after it
has been rolled into its final location.

• Adjust the leveling/lock screws beneath each front
corner at the base of the cabinet. Turn these

leveling/lock screws clockwise to raise a cabinet
corner and counterclockwise to lower a cabinet

corner.

Energy Saving Tips

• Locate the refrigerator away from heat producing
appliances such as the range or dishwasher, heat

vents and direct sunlight.

• Level the refrigerator and do not block ventilation
around the front base grille.

• Let hot dishes cool slightly before putting into the
refrigerator or freezer.

• Cover liquids.
Keep the freezer full to near capacity so less cold air

will escape during door openings. When the freezer

is less than 2/3full, place milk cartons half full of

water in the freezer.

• Wipe moisture from the outside of containers before
placing them into the refrigerator.

• Avoid opening the doors too often.

• If the floor is not level and it is necessary to raise the
rear of the cabinet, we suggest rolling the rear

wheels onto a piece of plywood or other shim

material.

• Turning the fresh food control to "OFF" stops cooling
in both compartments. It does not shut off power to

the refrigerator.

No Defrosting

Your refrigerator is designed to defrost automatically.

Note

• During the automatic defrost cycle, you may notice
a red glow/reflection in the vents on the back wall

of the freezer compartment and you may hear the
sound of water droplets coming into contact with

the defrost heater. This is normal during the

defrost cycle.

Adjusting the Temperature

Controls

• 24 hours after adding food, you may decide that one
or both compartments should be colder or warmer. If

so, adjust the control(s) as indicated in the following

table.

• Except when starting the refrigerator, do not change
either control more than one number at a time.

• Allow 2/4hours for temperatures to stabilize before
resetting.

• Changing either control will have some effect on the

temperature of the other compartment.

Warm Cabinet Surfaces

At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet may be
warm to the touch. This is a normal occurrence that

helps prevent moisture from condensing on the
cabinet. The condition will be more noticeable when

you first start the refrigerator, during hot weather and

after excessive or lengthy door openings.
