REFRIGERATOR SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others is very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word "DANGER" or "WARNING." These words mean:
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:
• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
• Do not remove ground prong.
• Do not use an adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Disconnect power before servicing.
• Replace all panels before operating.
• Remove doors from you old refrigerator.
- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -
• Use nonflammable cleaner.
• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.
• Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
• Disconnect power before installing ice maker.

Warning: Risk of Child Entrapment.
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside a refrigerator. Always leave the shelves in so children cannot easily crawl inside.
if you are storing a refrigerator:
1.Block the door open: Glue thick wooden blocks to the door so it can't close.
Be sure to use strong glue and place the blocks high, out of children's reach. Leave only enough room to allow ventilation to keep appliance from collecting mildew.
2. Band, tape or secure the door shut: Use strongtape and wrap it
all the way around the appliance several times or pass a heavy duty chain around the appliance and through the handle(s) and then padlock it ensuring it cannot slide loose.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator:
1. Take off the door: The hinge of chest type freezers are under
spring tension, instructions for removal of the hinges are found on the back of the freezer.
2. Cut off any electrical wires: Ordinary household tools are all you need.
3. Leave the shelves in place: so that children may not easily climb inside.
Talk to your children about the dangers of playing around or inside any container that might shut them in.
WHY aHthese precautions?
Each year children die because they climb inside an old refrigerator or freezer; the door closes
and they are trapped inside and suffocate.., usually in less than 10 minutes! Please take a few minutes and prevent such a needless tragedy.
iNSTALLiNG YOUR
REFRIGERATOR
Unpacking Your Refrigerator
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Removing Packaging Materials
Space Requirements
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion
or fire.
* Remove tape and any labels from your refrigerator before using (except the model and serial number label),
Do not remove any permanent instruction labels,
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also
be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with
warm water and dry.
• Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flam- mable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or
glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see "Important Safety
Instructions" in the "Refrigerator Safety" section.
• Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source, not in a location where the
temperature will fall below 40°F (5°C).
Note: Some shelf trim comes with a protective
film. Look for the "Peel Off" strip to remove this
protective film.
• Toensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 1"(2.5 cm) space on each side.
• Allow 3"" (7.5 cm) of space between overhead cabinets
and refrigerator top.
• Allow at least 1" (2.5 cm) between back of cabinet and the
wall.
• If the hinge side of the refrigerator is to be against a wall,
you might want to leave extra space so the door can swing open.

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection:
3-Prong (Grounding) Plug
Properly Folarized
and Grounded Outlet
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only 15 or20 ampere fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recom- mended that a separate circuit serving only your refrig- erator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
Note: Before performing any type of installation, clean- ing, or removing a light bulb, turn the Thermostat Control (or Refrigerator Control depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigera-
tor to the electrical source and reset the Thermostat Control (or Refrigerator Control) to the desired setting.

Understanding Sounds
You May Hear
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.
The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. Also, the thermostat refrigerator
control, will click when cycling on and off.
In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit airflow. Cool air enters through the refrigerator section and moves up. The air then flows through the vents. Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and temperature and moisture problems
may occur.
Setting the Controls
The temperature control is located on the side wall of the refrigerator compartment. It controls the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments (found on some models). When you plug in the refrigerator for the first time, set the temperature control knob to "4". Temperature control adjustments range from 1 (warmest to 7 (coldest).
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.
• Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperature. The high efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run longer than your old one, and you may hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
• Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound.
• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.
• Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a popping noise.
• You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
• You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle. 6
Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before
you put food into the refrigerator. The control is set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like. Move the dial one number at a time and wait 24 hours between
adjustments.
NOTE: During high humidity, moisture may form on the outside of the cabinet. To prevent rust, dry the cabinet
and reset the temperature control to a colder setting.
IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
Turning the temperature control to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the
compartments any faster.
Food Storage Guide
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check code date to
ensure freshness.
Butter or margarine Keep opened butter in covered dish or closed compart- ment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.
Cheese Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to use it.
Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Milk
Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on interior shelf.
Eggs Store in original carton on interior shelf.
Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers) Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper.
Fish Use fresh fish and shellfish the same day as purchased.
Meat
