Proper Disposal of

Your Refrigerator

DANGER

Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous - even if they will sit for "just
a few days." If you are getting rid of your
old refrigerator, please follow
instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
BEFORE YOU
THROW AWAY
YOUR OLD
REFRIGERATOR
OR FREEZER:
* Take off doors.
* Leave shelves in

place, so
children may
not easily climb
inside.

electric shock. Do not use an extension
cord or an adapter plug. Do not remove
any prong from the power cord.

Risk of child entrapment.

Avoid fire hazard or

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.

Child Safety

• Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately
after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children should never use these items for 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 the door of any appliance that is not in use,
even if it is being discarded.

Electrical Information

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in
the design of this refrigerator will operate properly.

• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only
electrical 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 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 AN
ADAPTER PLUG.

• If voltage varies by 10 percent or more, performance of your refrigerator may
be affected. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient power can damage the
compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty. If you suspect
your voltage is high or low, consult your power company for testing.

• To prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally, do not plug the
unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.

• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.

All rights reserved.

Other Precautions

• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power 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 control to OFF turns off the compressor,
but does not disconnect power to the light bulb or other electrical components.

• Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

• Avoid contact with any moving parts of the automatic ice maker.

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:

Location

• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. DO NOT use an
extension cord or an adapter plug.

• If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight and away from the range,
dishwasher or other heat sources.

• The refrigerator must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough to
support a fully loaded refrigerator.

• Consider water supply availability for the automatic ice maker.

Installation

• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 60°F
(15°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain
proper temperatures.

• In a recessed installation, allow an extra 1/2 inch (10-15 mm) on each side for
ease of installation.

• If the hinge side of the unit will be placed against a wall, allow a 1 3/4 inch (44
mm) space between the wall and the refrigerator to permit proper door swing.

Door Opening

For best use of the drawers and freezer basket, the refrigerator should be in a
position where both the refrigerator and freezer doors can be opened about 135°.

ROLLER ADJUSTING

BOLT

Adjusting front rollers

Replacing Toe Grill

Leveling

• The refrigerator must be leveled with all bottom corners resting firmly on
a solid floor. Adjust front rollers to level cabinet both front-to-rear and side-to-

side. Keep the cabinet as low as possible for stability. Never adjust cabinet rollers
so the front is lower than the rear.

• To adjust the front rollers: Open the refrigerator and freezer doors. Remove
the toe grill by pulling it straight out. Adjust the rollers by turning each roller
adjusting bolt with an adjustable wrench, a socket wrench or a nutdriver until the
refrigerator is level and stable. The rear rollers are not adjustable.

• Check both doors to be sure seals touch cabinet evenly on all four sides.

• If the freezer door is higher than the refrigerator door, raise the right corner and/
or lower the left corner until the doors align across the top of the cabinet.

• If the refrigerator door is higher than the freezer door, raise the left corner and/
or lower the right corner until the doors align across the top of the cabinet.

• To replace the toe grill: Line up tabs with holes and push grill straight on.

Cleaning

• Wash the inside, all removable parts and the outside 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 that can scratch the appliance
surface, when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape or energy
label can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or,
touch the glue with the sticky side of tape already removed.

• DO NOT REMOVE THE SERIAL PLATE.

3

Energy Saving Ideas

• Install the refrigerator in the most cool part of the room, out of direct sunlight and
away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat­producing appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher. If this is not possible,
a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between the two appliances
will help the refrigerator operate more efficiently.

• Level the refrigerator so the doors close tightly.

• Refer to this Owner's Guide for the suggested refrigerator settings.

• Periodic cleaning of the condenser will help the refrigerator run more efficiently.
See Outside in the "Care and Cleaning" section.

• 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 Controls

Refrigerator midpoint

Freezer midpoint

Cool Down Period

To ensure safe food storage, allow the refrigerator to operate with the doors closed
for at least 8 to 12 hours before loading with food.

Refrigerator Control

• The refrigerator control should be set at the midpoint of the dial for a trial period
of 24 hours.

• After 24 hours, adjust the control as needed. For colder temperatures, turn the
dial a notch toward COLDEST. For warmer temperatures, turn the dial a notch
toward COLD. Adjust temperatures by one increment at a time. The

C05C0060

temperature will increase or decrease, but not necessarily by 1, 2, or 3
degrees.

Freezer Control

• The freezer control should be set at the midpoint of the dial for a trial period of

C05C0063

24 hours.

• After 24 hours, adjust the control as needed. For colder temperatures, turn the
dial a notch toward COLDEST. For warmer temperatures, turn the dial a notch
toward COLD. Adjust temperatures by one increment at a time. The

temperature will increase or decrease, but not necessarily by 1, 2, or 3
degrees.

Note: When first setting the controls or when changing a setting, wait 24 hours

for the temperature to stabilize before making additional changes.
Turning the freezer control may change temperatures in both compartments. For

example, if the freezer control is turned to a colder setting, the refrigerator control
may have to be adjusted to a warmer one. Turning the refrigerator control will
change only the refrigerator temperature.

IMPORTANT: If the freezer control is turned to OFF, cooling stops in both
compartments.

You may hear the "Frost Free" system working. A fan circulates air in the
refrigerator and freezer compartments. For good circulation and maintenance of
proper cooling temperatures, do not block cold air vents with food items. Water
draining into the defrost water pan and hissing sounds are normal during the
automatic "Frost Free" cycle.

Fresh Food Storage

Shelf Adjustment

Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual needs. Before adjusting
shelves, remove all food. Remove and discard the shipping clips, wedged into the
cantilever rail above the shelf hook. These clips stabilize the shelves during shipping.

To adjust the cantilever shelves (shelves supported at the rear of the refrigerator), lift
the back of the shelf up and out. Replace shelf by inserting hooks at rear into slots.
Lower and lock into position. Some models have SpillsafeTM glass shelves, which catch
and hold accidental spills.

Door Storage

Door bins and shelves are provided for convenient storage of jars, bottles, and cans.
Items used often are available for quick selection.

The door bins can be moved to suit individual needs. Remove bins by lifting straight
up. Place bins in the desired position and lower over the supports.

Remove shipping clips

Cantilever Shelf

The Dairy compartment is warmer than the general food storage section and is
intended for short term storage of cheese, spreads, or butter.

Crispers

The Crisper drawer, located under the bottom refrigerator shelf, is for storing fruits and
vegetables. Most produce should be washed in clear water and drained before placing
in this drawer. Items with strong odors or high moisture should be wrapped before
storing.

Meat Keeper

The Meat Keeper is located at the bottom of the refrigerator. The temperature in the
compartment can be made colder than the rest of the refrigerator compartment by
sliding the Chilled Air Control knob within the COLDEST or COLD range. Meat will
be partially frozen and may be kept fresh longer than if stored on a refrigerator shelf.

Before placing items in the Meat Keeper, follow these steps to keep the meat fresh:

1. Carefully handle meat with clean hands and always keep the compartment clean.

2. Store meat in its original wrapper. If necessary, overwrap in plastic wrap or foil to
prevent drying. Wrap fish tightly to prevent odor transfer to other foods.

3. If spoilage ever occurs, disinfect the compartment with liquid chlorine bleach
following label directions. Then rinse with a solution of baking soda and water.
Rinse with clear water and dry.

Freezer Basket

A slide-out wire basket (some models have two) hangs below the bottom freezer shelf.
This basket provides easy access to frozen food packages.

5

Care and Cleaning

Damp objects stick to cold
metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated
surfaces with wet or damp hands.

To avoid damage and help

the refrigerator run as efficiently as possible,
clean the condenser and air vents
periodically.

Keep your refrigerator and freezer clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills
immediately and clean both sections at least twice a year. Never use metallic
scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface.
Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.

Always unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning. NOTE:

Turning the refrigerator control to OFF does not disconnect power to the controls, light
bulb, or other electrical components.

Inside

Wash inside surfaces of the refrigerator and freezer with a solution of 2 tablespoons
baking soda in 1 quart warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Be sure to wring excess
water out of sponge or cloth before cleaning around the controls, light bulb or any
electrical parts.

Wash removable parts such as shelves and drawers with baking soda solution or mild
detergent and warm water. DO NOT USE HARSH CLEANERS ON THESE SURFACES.
Rinse and dry thoroughly. Clean the door gaskets with mild suds, rinse with clear
water and wipe dry. 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 or energy label 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.

Outside

Wash the cabinet and handles with warm water and a mild liquid detergent. Rinse
well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Do not use commercial household cleaners,
ammonia, or alcohol to clean handles.

Remove any dust or dirt from the front of the toe grill using a vacuum cleaner with
its dusting tool attachment. Remove the toe grill by pulling it straight out. While the
grill is removed, vacuum the backside of the grill and wipe with a sudsy cloth or
sponge. Periodically clean the condenser (black tubes and wires beneath the
refrigerator, behind the toe grill). Do not allow lint or dust to accumulate on the coils.
Insert a long handled brush or vacuum attachment between the two coils to bring the
lint forward. To replace the toe grill, line up tabs with holes and push grill straight on.

Use caution when cleaning in the area of the coils. Surfaces there

may be sharp.

Air Vents

Air Vents on Lower Access Panel

The air vents on the lower access panel at the rear of the refrigerator should be
cleaned periodically. Clean the vents by using a vacuum cleaner with its dusting tool
attachment. When moving the refrigerator, pull straight out. Do not shift the
refrigerator from side to side as this may tear or gouge the floor covering. If the
refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, be careful not to move the refrigerator
beyond plumbing connections.

Replacing the Light Bulb

To replace the light bulb:

1. Unplug the refrigerator.

2. Wear gloves as protection against possible broken glass.

3. Replace old bulb with an appliance bulb of the same wattage.

4. Remember to plug the refrigerator back in.

Care and Cleaning

(continued)

V acation and Moving Tips

Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of 3 weeks or

less. Use up all perishable items from the refrigerator section. Wrap and store other
items in the freezer. If the unit has an automatic ice maker, turn off the ice maker,
even if you will be gone just a few days.

Long vacations: Remove all food and ice if you will be gone 1 month or more. Turn

the control to OFF and disconnect the power. If the refrigerator has an automatic
ice maker, turn off the automatic ice maker and turn the water supply valve to the
closed position. Clean the interior thoroughly. Leave both doors open to prevent
odor and mold buildup. Block open if necessary.

Moving: When moving the refrigerator, follow these guidelines to prevent damage:

• Remove all food and other items from both the refrigerator and
freezercompartments. Empty the ice storage bin.

• If a hand truck is used in moving, load the refrigerator from the side.

• Turn front rollers as far up as possible. This will protect them during sliding
or moving.

• The cabinet should be well padded and handled with care. DO NOT DROP.

Automatic Ice Maker

If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it will provide a continuous supply of
ice for normal use. The automatic ice maker is an optional accessory which may be
installed in most models at any time. Call your local dealer for installation.

After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water supply valve must
be opened. Place the ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as
possible. Lower the wire signal arm to its "down" or ON position. Because of new
plumbing connections, the first production of ice cubes may be discolored or have an
odd flavor. Throw the ice away until the cubes made are free of discoloration and
taste. Remember, water quality determines your ice quality. It is best to connect the
ice maker to water that is not soft. Softening chemicals can damage the ice maker.
If the ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure the softener is maintained and
working properly.

To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the "up"
or OFF position. The ice maker turns off automatically when the ice container is full.
If your model has an adjustable freezer shelf, place the shelf so the wire signal arm
will hit the ice when the ice container is full.

Ice Maker Tips

1. Ice stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the container and be sure
the wire signal arm is in its "down" or ON position. The ice maker will then produce
more ice.

2. Occasionally shake the container to keep ice separated.

3. Keep the wire signal arm in its "up" or OFF position until the refrigerator is
connected to the water supply or whenever water supply is turned off.

4. Certain sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating. They are:

Motor operation
Ice being loosened from the tray
Ice being dropped into the container
Running water
Water valve opening and closing

For more information on these operations, see "Normal Operating Sounds."

5. Wash ice container in warm water with mild detergent. Rinse well and dry.

6. Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer or for short vacations.

7. If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, turn the water supply
valve to the closed position.

Removing the Handles
and Doors

Removing handles and trim

If it is necessary to move refrigerator through narrow doorways, follow
these steps to remove the handles and/or refrigerator and freezer doors.

To Remove Handles:

Full-length Trim

1. Using a putty knife, carefully slide the corner of the blade under the trim. Slide
blade down until you find the trim lock. Carefully manuever the blade against the
trim lock from the side as shown. Note: Pressing down on the trim lock from
above will not release it.

2. Carefully push the putty knife firmly against the trim lock and twist gently. The trim
lock will snap free from the door. (Each trim piece will have two (2) trim locks.)

3. Grasp trim and pull up away from handle using a slight side-to-side motion.

4. Remove screws attaching handle to door.

5. Repeat those steps for each handle end. Keep screws and trim pieces.

6. To replace handles, line up handle with screw holes, insert screws and tighten.
Slide upper and lower trim piecesback on handle ends, and snap trim locks back
into holes on door front.

To Remove Doors

Before removing doors, be sure the freezer control is turned to OFF. Remove all food
from the doors and unplug the refrigerator. Remove the toe grill.

Trace around hinges with a soft lead pencil. This will make it easier to realign the
doors when they are replaced. Completely remove one door before starting removal
of the other, as follows.

1. Open door to door stop position (135°) and remove upper hinge screws. DO NOT
remove upper hinge from door.

2. Carefully lift door off of lower hinge.

3. Remove lower hinge bolts and lower hinge.

Store doors in a safe place until the refrigerator is moved to the desired location. Keep
all hardware for reinstallation.

To Reinstall Handles or Doors

To reinstall, reverse instructions used to remove handles or doors.
