Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: Please Read All Instructions Before Using This Refrigerator.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
•Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product labels for warnings regarding flammability and other
hazards.
•Do not operate the refrigerator in the presense of
explosive fumes.
•Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause
severe cuts, and also destroy finishes if they come in
contact with other appliances or furniture.
CHILD SAFETY
Destroy or recycle the 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.
THESE GUIDELINES MUST BE
FOLLOWED TO ENSURE THAT
SAFETY MECHANISMS IN THIS REFRIGERATOR
WILL OPERATE PROPERLY.
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 AWAY YOUR
OLD REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER:
• Remove door.
• Leave shelves in place
• Have refrigerant
Proper Disposal of Your

easily climb inside.
removed by a qualified
service technician.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
•The refrigerator must be plugged into its own
dedicated 115 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
electrical 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 adapter plug.
•If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the
manufacturer, service technician or a qualified person to
prevent any risk.
•Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out
from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.
•Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
•Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by
10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient
power can damage the compressor. Such damage is
not covered under your warranty.
•Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall
switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being
turned off accidentally.
•Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor
(GFI) circuit.
IMPORTANT: Turning the Refrigerator Control to “OFF”
turns off the compressor and prevents your refrigerator
from cooling, but does not disconnect the power to
the light bulb and other electrical components. To turn
off power to your refrigerator you must unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet.

Installation
This Use & Care Manual provides specific operating
instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as
instructed in this Use & Care Manual. 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.
INSTALLATION
Do Not install the refrigerator where
the temperature will drop below 40°F (4.5°C) or rise above
110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain
proper temperatures inside the refrigerator.
Do Not block the toe grille on the
lower front of your refrigerator. Sufficient air
circulation is essential for the proper operation of
your refrigerator.
Installation Clearances
•Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and electrical connections:
Sides ----------------------- 3/8”
Back & Top ---------------- 1”
LEVELING
All four corners of your refrigerator must rest firmly on a
solid floor. Your refrigerator is equipped with adjustable
leveling feet.
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.
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.

Temperature Controls
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.
Looking Inside
Cold Control
To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves
may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden temperature change.
To adjust cantilever shelves:
NOTE: Cantilever shelves are supported at the back of
the refrigerator.
1 Lift front edge up.
2 Pull shelf out.
Replace the shelf by inserting the hooks at rear of the shelf
into the wall bracket. Lower the shelf into the desired slots
and lock into position.
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.

DOOR STORAGE
Door bins, shelves, and racks are provided for convenient
storage of jars, bottles, and cans. Frequently used items
can be quickly selected.
Some models have door racks or bins that can accommodate
gallon-sized plastic drink containers and economy-sized jars
and containers.
The dairy compartment, which is warmer than the general
food storage section, is intended for short term storage of
cheese, spreads, or butter.
ADJUSTABLE DOOR BINS
Some models have adjustable door bins that can be moved
to suit individual needs.
To move door bins
1. Lift bin straight up.
2. Remove bin.
3. Place bin in desired position.
4. Lower bin onto supports until locked in place.
CRISPERS (SOME MODELS)
The crispers, located under the bottom refrigerator shelf,
are designed for storing fruits, vegetables, and other fresh
produce. Wash items in clear water and remove excess water
before placing them in the crispers. Items with strong odors
or high moisture content should be wrapped before storing.
Crisper Drawer
HUMIDITY CONTROL (SOME MODELS)
The Humidity Control, present on some models with crisper
drawers, allows you to adjust the humidity within the crisper.
This can extend the life of fresh vegetables that keep best
in high humidity.
Adjustable Door Bin
DELI DRAWER (SOME MODELS)
Some models are equipped with a Deli Drawer for storage of
luncheon meats, spreads, cheeses, and other deli items.
NOTE: Leafy vegetables keep best when stored with the
Humidity Control set on High Humidity, or in a drawer
without a Humidity Control. This keeps incoming air to a
minimum and maintains maximum moisture content.

Food Storage & Energy Saving Ideas
FOOD STORAGE IDEAS
Fresh Food Storage
•The fresh food compartment should be kept between 34° F and 40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° F.
•Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven
cooling.
Fruits and Vegetables
•Storage in the crisper drawers traps moisture to help preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time periods.
Meat
•Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces does not
occur.
ENERGY SAVING IDEAS
•Locate 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.
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 that the door closes tightly.
•Refer to this Use & Care Manual for the suggested temperature control
settings.
•Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents. Doing so causes
the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy.
•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

Care & Cleaning
Keep your refrigerator clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean 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 electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
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.
NOTES:
•Turning the refrigerator temperature control to “OFF” turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect electrical
power to the light bulb or other electrical components. To turn off power to your refrigerator, you must unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet.
•Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface when removing
adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or labels can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent, or, touch the glue residue with the sticky side of tape you have already removed. Do not remove the
serial plate.
