Electrical Information
• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only
electrical 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. Avoid connecting refrigerator
to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not
use an extension cord or adapter plug.
= If the power cord isdamaged, it should be replaced by
an authorized service technician 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 electrical outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the
refrigerator frOm being turned Off ace!dentallY:....

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 refrigerator isa very dangerous
attraction to children.
Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in
Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator
Risk of child entrapment
ii
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 the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/
disposal methods. Check with your utility company or
visit www.recyclemyoldfridge.com for more information
on recycling your old refrigerator.

3-prong grounded plug
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. Allow the glass shelves to stabilize
to. room temperature before cleaning. Do not wash
in dishwasher.
ThisUse&CareGuideprovidesgeneraloperating
instructionsforyourmodel.Usetherefrigeratoronlyas
instructedinthisUse&CareGuide.Beforestartingthe
refrigerator, follow these important first steps,
Location
o 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 110° F
(43 ° C). The Freeze Control Feature is designed
to automatically maintain the selected interior
refrigerator temperature within these boundaries.
Allow space around the unit for good air circulation.
Leave a 2 inch (50 mm) space on the back, 1 inch
(20 mm) on the sides, and 12 inches (300 mm)
above the refrigerator for adequate circulation.
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 a!r c!rcu!ation around your refr!gerator. ..........................................................
Leveling
The refrigerator must have all bottom corners resting
firmly on 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.
To Level Your Refrigerator"
After removing all interior and exterior packing materials,
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, V2 bubble higher, so that the
door closes easily when left halfway open.
The direction in which your refrigerator doors open
(door swing) can be reversed, from left to right or right
to left, by moving the door hinges from one side to the
other. Reversing the door swing should be performed
Before you begin, unplug the electrical power cord from
the wall outlet. Remove any food from door shelves.
You should find a hinge kit packed inside your unit with the
following pars that will be needed to reverse the doors:

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.
To allow door to close and seal properly, DO NOT let
food packages extend past the front of shelves.
Shelf Front
,, Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of a dry and
ventilated 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 doors dose 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 drculation, making the
refrigerator less efficient,
,, Wipe bottles and containers dry before piadng them in
the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up
inside the unit.
Cool Down Period
Forbest performance, allow four 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
and in the freezer compartment on some models. 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.
To adjust the temperature colder in the refrigerator
compartment, press the _ button on the control panel so
that the display light shifts to a higher number. "1" is the
warmest setting and "5" is the coldest. To adjust the
temperature colder in the freezer compartment, move the
Freezer Control knob towards the maximum setting. After
each movement of either control, allow 24 hours for the unit
to adjust. If the unit is still not cold enough, repeat until
desired temperature isachieved.
To adjust the temperature warmer in the refrigerator
compartment, press the SET button on the control panel so
that the display light shifts to a lower number. To adjust the
temperature warmer in the freezer compartment, move the
Freezer Control knob towards the minimum setting. After
each movement of either control, allow 24 hours for the
unit to adjust. If the unit is still not warm enough, repeat
until desired temperature isachieved.
If more than one of the display windows remain lit at the
same time, call the 1-800 number on the cover of this
manual for service since this indicates afault with the
control system.
