Important Safety
Instructions
Proper Disposal of
Your Refrigerator/Freezer
DANGER
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 instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR
OLD REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER:
* Take off
doors.
* Leave
shelves
in place,
so
children
may not
easily
climb
inside.
Avoid fire hazard or
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.
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 3-prong
grounding plug for your protection against shock hazards. It must be plugged
directly into a properly grounded 3-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.
• If the refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, avoid contact with any moving parts.

First Steps
(Figure 1)
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 models equipped with an automatic ice
maker.
Installation
• Do not install the refrigerator where 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.
• Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 1 inch (25 mm)
space behind and a 3 inch (75 mm) space above the refrigerator for adequate
circulation.
• In a recessed installation, allow an extra 1/2 inch (10-15 mm) on each side, for
ease of installation.
• For best circulation, elevate the unit 1 inch (25 mm) from the floor, especially
if the floor is carpeted.
Replacing Toe Grill
T o Remove Toe grille: Grip sides of T o e
Grille and pull straight off.
T o Replace T oe Grille : Line up clips with
holes and push straight on.
(Figure 2)
Door Opening
The doors should open to allow easy access to a counter when removing food.
• Do not position the refrigerator so you have to walk around the refrigerator
doors.
• Reverse the doors, if necessary . See Door Reversal Instructions.
Leveling
All four corners of refrigerator must rest firmly on a solid floor.
To adjust front rollers:
1. Open refrigerator door and r emove Toe Grille. (Figure 1)
2. Use an adjustable wrench to adjust rollers. (Figure 2)
3. Turn Roller Adjusting Bolt clockwise to raise and counter-clockwise to lower.
Raise the front of cabinet enough so doors will close freely when opened
halfway .
4. Level cabinet side to side.
5. Replace Toe Grille. (Figure 1)
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 appliance
surface, when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or energy
label can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or
touch residue with sticky side of tape already removed.
• Do not remove the Serial Plate.
3
Energy Saving Ideas
• Install 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 ef ficiently.
• 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
G05C0086
Refrigerator Control
Freezer Control
Cool Down Period
To ensure safe food storage, allow the refrigerator to operate with the
doors closed for a least 8 to 12 hours before loading with food.
Refrigerator & freezer controls
Note: When first setting the controls or when changing a setting, wait 24
hours for the temperature to stabilize before making additional changes.
Temperatures
• After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed. Adjusttemperatures one
increment at a time.
• For colder temperatures, turn the dial a notch towards COLDER.
• For warmer temperatures, turn the dial a notch towards WARMER. The
temperature will increase, but not necessarily by 1,2, or 3°.
Turning the refrigerator control may change temperatures in both compartments. For
example, if the refrigerator control is turned to a colder setting, the freezer control
may have to be adjusted to a warmer one. Turning the freezer control will change
only the freezer temperature.
To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates air in the refrigerator and freezer
compartments. For good circulation, do not block cold air vents with food items.
IMPORTANT: If the refrigerator control is turned to OFF, cooling stops in both
compartments.
Moisture Reduction Switch
Moisture Reduction Switch (some models)
If moisture forms on the metal between the two doors, set the Moisture Reduction
Switch (located on the control box in the refrigerator compartment) to the “ON”
position. A heater will warm the surface and allow moisture to evaporate.

Shelf Adjustment
Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual needs.
Some models have sliding shelves, others have cantilever
shelves. Before adjusting shelves, remove all food. The shipping
clips that stabilize the shelves for shipping may be removed and
discarded.
To adjust 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.
SpillSafe
TM
glass shelves (some models) catch and hold accidental
spills. In some models, the SpillSafeTM shelves slide out for easy
access to food and fast cleaning. The shelves slide out
independently of the cantilever brackets. Just pull front of shelf
forward. Shelf can be extended as far as stopper will allow.
Door Storage
Door bins and shelves provide 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.
The Dairy Compartment(s) is warmer than the general food storage section and is
intended for short term storage of cheese, spreads, or butter.
T all Bottle Retainer (some models)
The Tall Bottle Retainer keeps tall containers in the bin from falling forward when
opening or closing the refrigerator door. To install, hold the retainer at the top, and
slide it over the outside wall of the bin, as shown. Note that the retainer works best
with the use of a bin snugger.

Micro-Serve Dishes (some models)
Food can be stored, cooked*, and served in Micro-Serve Dishes provided in some
models. These dishes slide easily into their own tray, which hangs below a door gallon
bin as shown below, conveniently freeing shelf space for other items. Note: Do not
hang tray below the bin in front of the ice maker.
* Remove plastic lid before cooking. Lid is intended for storage only.
Crispers
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 in the Crispers. Items with strong odors or high moisture
should be wrapped before storing.
The Humidity Controls allow you to adjust the humidity within the Crisper. This can
extend the life of fresh vegetables which keep best in high humidity. Leafy
vegetables, however, keep best when stored with the Humidity Control set on high
moisture, or in a drawer without a Humidity Control. This keeps incoming air to a
minimum and maintains maximum moisture content.
Wine Rack (some models)
The Wine Rack stores bottles of wine, or 2-liter plastic bottles of juice or
soda pop. To install, slide the wine rack onto the shelf with the curve facing
in. To remove, slide the wine rack out.

Adjusting the Chilled Air Duct
Meat Keeper (some models)
The temperature in the Meat Keeper drawer can be made colder than the rest of the
refrigerator compartment by adjusting the Chilled Air Control. 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.
Adjustable Chilled Air Duct (some models)
The Chilled Air Duct, which distributes cold air to the Meat Keeper drawer, can be
adjusted to accommodate repositioning of the shelf. However, the shelf has a limited
range of positions in which the Chilled Air Duct will reach.
The Chilled Air Duct can also switch sides, should you wish to move the split cantilever
shelf. To change sides:
1. Remove the Meat Keeper drawer and shelf. Grasp the air duct near top and slide
toward you until duct is free from grooves.
2. Slide off hole cover on opposite side. Insert the lip of the air duct in grooves of
new hole and slide back.
3. Slide hole cover over original hole.
4. Replace shelf and insert drawer.
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. 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 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.
Clean stainless steel (some models) front and handles with hot soapy water and a
dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a soft cloth. Wipe stubborn spots with an
ammonia-soaked paper towel, and rinse. Cleaners made especially for stainless steel,
such as Sheila Shine, trademark of Sheila Shine, Inc., Stainless Steel Magic,
trademark of Magic American Corp., or similar products are suggested. Always follow
manufacturer's instructions. Wash the rest of the cabinet with warm water and mild

Care and Cleaning
(continued)
liquid detergent. Rinse well, and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
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.
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.
Automatic Ice Maker
V acation and Moving Tips
Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of 1 to 3 weeks.
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.
Long vacations: Remove all food and ice if you will be gone 1 month or more. Turn
the refrigerator control to OFF and disconnect the power. If the unit has an
automatic ice maker, turn off the ice maker and turn the water supply valve to the
closed position. Defrost and 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 freezer
compartments. Empty the ice storage bin. Defrost and clean the interior
thoroughly.
• 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.
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. These should be discarded until the cubes made are free of discoloration
and taste.
Wire
Signal Arm
Remember, water quality
determines your ice quality. It is best to
connect the ice maker to water that is not
softened. Chemicals from a malfunctioning
softener can damage the ice maker. If ice
maker is connected to soft water, ensure
the softener is maintained and working
properly.
7
Automatic Ice Maker
(continued)
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 cubes 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 untilthe refrigerator is
connected to the water supply or whenever the 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 dropping into the storage bin
• Running water
• Water valve opening or closing
For more information on these operations, see Normal Operating Sounds.
5. W ash 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 is to be turned off for a long period of time, turn the water
supply valve to the closed position.
