READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This Owner’s Guide provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use your refrigerator only as instructed in this guide. These instructions are not meant to cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Common sense and caution must be practiced when installing, operating, and maintaining any appliance.
Record Your Model and Serial Numbers
Record the model and serial numbers in the space provided below. The serial plate is located on the upper left wall inside the refrigerator.

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 ice box, refrigerator, or freezer is a very dangerous attraction to children.
• Remove and discard any spacers used to secure the shelves during shipping. Small objects are a choke hazard to children.

Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in use, even if it is being discarded.
Proper Disposal of Your
Refrigerator/Freezer
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 doors.
Leave shelves in place
so children may not easily climb inside.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the design of this refrigerator will operate properly.
Refrigerator must be plugged into its own 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 shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three­prong 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.
2
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.

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.
• 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 TEMPERATURE CONTROL
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.
DOOR REMOVAL
If door must be removed :
1. Gently lay refrigerator on its back, on a rug or blanket.
2. Remove two base screws and base panel. Remove wire clips on bottom of cabinet.
3. Remove bottom hinge screws.
4. Remove plastic top hinge cover.
5. Remove screws from top hinge.
6. Remove top hinge from cabinet.
7. Remove door and bottom hinge from cabinet.
8. To replace door, reverse the above order and securely tighten all screws to prevent hinge slippage.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• 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.
• Level the refrigerator so the door close 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 circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient, which could cause food spoilage.
Cold Control
REFRIGERATOR FEATURES
TILT-OUT SHELF
This shelf is located inside on the refrigerator door and provides additional storage space. To access an item, tilt top of “basket” shelf down.
4
ADJUSTABLE INTERIOR SHELVES
Multi-position adjustable interior shelves can be moved to any position for larger or smaller packages. The shipping spacers that stabilize the shelves for shipping should be removed and discarded.
Adjustable Interior Shelves
SLIDE-OUT BASKET
A Slide-Out Basket (some models) located at the bottom of the refrigerator, provides separate storage space for items that are difficult to store on refrigerator shelves. To remove the basket, pull out and lift up.
AUTOMATIC FREEZE CONTROL
The Freeze Control Feature will maintain proper interior refrigerator temperature even when the refrigerator is placed in an area where the surrounding temperature drops down to 10° F (-12° C).
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.
