PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR
OR 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." Ifyou 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.

• Have refrigerant 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 ofthe appliance isequipped with a
three-prong grounding plugfor your protectionagainst
electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly

intoa properlygroundedthree-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.

• Immediately repair or replace any power cordthat
becomes frayed or damaged.

• Never unplugthe refrigeratorby pullingonthe power

cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out
from the receptacletoprevent damaging the power cord.

• Unplugthe refrigeratorbefore 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 refrigeratorwith insufficient
powercan damage the compressor. Such damage is

notcovered under your warranty.

• Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall

switch or pullcordto prevent the refrigeratorfrom being

turned offaccidentally.

• Avoid connectingrefrigeratortoa Ground FaultInterruptor
(GFI) circuit.

This Owner's Guide 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 ofdirect 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.

ICE AND WATER DISPENSER FEATURES

The ice and water dispenser conveniently dispenses chilled water, and ice cubes or crushed ice, depending on the model.

To operate the ice dispenser, select the ice option desired using the touchpad. Press a glass against the dispensing paddle
as far up as possible to catch all ice. To stop dispensing ice, pull glass away from dispensing paddle. Do not remove the
glass until the ice has completely dispensed. (Complete instructions for the dispenser operation are attached to the inside
of the freezer door.)

How the Water Dispenser Works

The water tank, located behind the drawers in the refrigerator compartment, automatically fills as water is dispensed. For
proper dispenser operation, the recommended supply water pressure should fall between 20 psi and 100 psi.

After the refrigerator is connected tothe water supply, fill the water tank by drawing one glass of water. It may take about

11/2minutes after activating the dispenser paddle before water begins to fill this first glass. Continue flushing the system

for 3 minutes to rid the tank and plumbing connections of any impurities. The water dispenser has a built in shutoff device
that will stop the water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use. Simply release the dispenser paddle to reset the shutoff

mechanism.

How the Ice Dispenser Works

The ice maker and container are located in the top of the freezer compartment. After the

refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can begin
making ice within 24 hours. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to cycle two
or three times before making a full tray of ice. To begin ice production, lower the wire signal
arm to the "down" or ON position. With no usage it will take approximately 2 days to fill the
ice container. The ice maker turns off automatically when the ice container becomes full. To
stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks, and locks in the "up" or OFF
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.

ICE DISPENSER TIPS

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

• Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.

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

• If a large quantity of ice is needed at one time, it is best to remove cubes directly from the ice container.

• The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:

• Motor running

• Ice loosening from tray

• Ice dropping into ice container

• Running water

• Water valve opening or closing

• Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations.

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

13

Do not use the ice chute as a handle when
removing or replacing the ice storage bin.

Surfaces there may be sharp.

Do not put fingers up ice chute. Surfaces

_there may be sharp. ,,

CLEANING THE ICE DISPENSER

Clean the dispenser and ice container at regular intervals, particularly

before you take a vacation or move, or if the ice dispenser sticks.

1. Stop ice production by lifting the wire signal arm to the "up" or OFF
position.

2_ Remove ice container by lifting up and out. Empty and carefully clean

the container with mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do not use

harsh or abrasive cleaners. Allow ice container to dry completely before
replacing in the freezer.

3. Remove ice chips and clean the shelf and chute that supports the ice
container.

4. Replace the ice container. Lower the wire signal arm on the ice

maker to the "down" or ON position and the ice maker will resume
production.

Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:

1. An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in

the ice storage bin to melt and freeze together and jam the dispenser
mechanism.

2_ The ice dispenser isnot used frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together

in the bin and jam the dispenser mechanism. Remove the ice storage
bin and shake to loosen the cubes.

NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice.

This could damage the ice storage bin and dispenser mechanism.

• The fresh food compartment should be kept between 34 ° F and 40° Fwith an optimum temperature of 37° E

• 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.

Frozen Food Storage

• The freezer compartment should be kept at 0° F or lower.

• A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least 2/3 full.

Packaging Foods for Freezing

• To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration, use aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight containers.

Force as much air out of the packages as possible and seal them tightly. Trapped air can cause food to dry out,

change color, and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).

• Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing.

• Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.

Loading the Freezer

• Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of freezing,
and can raise the temperature of frozen foods.

• Leave a space between the packages, so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible.

• Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream and orange juice on the freezer door shelves. These foods are
best stored in the freezer interior where the temperature varies less.

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 doors close tightly.

• Refer to this Use & Care Manual for the suggested temperature control
settings.

• Periodic cleaning of the condenser will help the refrigerator run more
efficiently. See the Care and Cleaning Chart on page 19.

• 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

items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.

UNDERSTANDING THE SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may make unfamiliar
sounds. Don't be alarmed, these are all normal sounds. Hard
surfaces, such as vinyl or wood floors, walls, and kitchen

cabinets may make sounds more noticeable. Listed below
are descriptions of some of the most common sounds you

may hear, and what is causing them.

A. Evaporator

The flow of refrigerant through the evaporator may
create a boiling or gurgling sound.

B. Evaporator Fan

You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator
by the evaporator fan.

C. Defrost Heater

During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost
heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After
defrosting, a popping sound may occur.

D. Automatic Ice Maker

If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice
maker, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.

E. Cold Control & Automatic Defrost Control

These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound
when turning the refrigerator on and off.

F. Condenser Fan

You may hear air being forced through the condenser
by the condenser fan.

G. Compressor

Modern, high-efficiency compressors operate much
faster than older models. The compressor may have a

high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.

H. Water Valve

If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice
maker, you will hear a buzzing sound as the water valve

opens to fill the ice maker during each cycle.

I. Drain Pan

You may hear water running into the drain pan during
the defrost cycle.

J. Condenser
