DANGER!

RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

PROPERDISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

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.

Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigerator or Freezer:

Take off the doors and discard separately.

Leavethe shelves in place so that children may

not easily climb inside.

Refrigerants

All refrigeration products contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed prior

to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an
old refrigeration product, check with the company

handling the disposal about what to do.

WARNING!

HOW TOCONNECTELECTRICITY

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
an earthing plug which mates with a standard

earthed wall outlet to minimize the possibility
of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly earthed.

Where an unearthed wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly earthed wall outlet.

The refrigerator should
always be plugged into

its own individual
electrical outlet.

This provides the
best performance

and also prevents
overloading house

wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires. Please refer to the rating plate on

the refrigerator for the correct voltage, wattage and
frequency. If the product plug does not fit your outlet,

the product should be fitted with a new plug.

Insureproperearthing
existsbeforeusing. ]_Xl

Earthingplug_

IMPORTANT:Therefitting of electric plugs and cables
should bedone bbta qualified technician orservice
agent. In some countries the refitting of electric plugs
and cables is on!g permitted when the work is
completed bg a qualified technician.

If the power supply cord becomes damaged, it must

be replaced by a qualified service agent in order to
avoid a safety hazard.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the

power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight
out from the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that

have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either end.
When moving the refrigerator away from the wall,

be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

Mains lead replacement

If the mains lead on your refrigerator needs replacing

at any time, it must be replaced by a special lead
which is obtainable from your local dealer. A charge

will be made for the replacement of the mains lead
if you have damaged the lead.

The refrigerator must be positioned so that the plug
is accessible.

How it Works

TheCfimateKeeper2TM isthe industrg's

most advanced refrigeration sgstem,
deliveringoptimum temperature and

humiditg performance to keepfood garden

maintaining efficiencg.

TheClimateKeeper2 sgstem features two

evaporators-one for the refrigerator and
one for the freezer.

This providestwo separate cooling sgstems,

and separates the airflow between the fresh

food andfreezercompartments during normal

coolingoperations.*

This ensuresthat the humiditg levelsin
the freshfood compartment are significantlg

higher than ina conventional sgstem,** allowing

fresh produce and other unsealedfoods to retain
their moisture content and freshnesslonger.

Moisturesensitivefoods such as fresh fruit,

salads,rice,etc.,can now be stored on open
shelveswithout excessivemoisture loss.Dueto

the higher humiditg inthe refrigerator,gou mag
on occasion experience fog or small amounts of

moisture in the refrigerator compartment. This is
normal and mag come and go asdifferent food

loadsand environmental conditions change.
Wipe drg with a paper towel if desired.

The separateairflow sgstem minimizesthe mixing

of air between thetwo compartments, which
reducesfresh food odor transfer to improve

the taste of ice.

The ClimateKeeper2 sgstem also reduces

the number of defrosting cgcles in the freezer

Normal operating sounds.

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators.
Modem refrigerators have more features and use newer
technology.

Do gou hear what i hear? These sounds are normal.

HUMMM.,, WHIB!

-- WHOOSH,..

m The new high efficiency compressor may run faster

and longer than your old refrigerator and you may
hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while
it is operating.

m Sometimes the refrigerator runsfor an extended period,

especiallywhen the doors are openedfrequently. This
means that the Frost Guard'" feature is working to

prevent freezer burn and improve food preservation.

m Youmay hear a whooshing sound when the doors close.

Thisisdueto pressureequalizing within the refrigerator.

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and CHIRPS

m You may hear cracking or popping sounds when

the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as
the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.

m Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide

optimal cooling and energy savings.

m The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping

sound when attempting to restart (this could take
up to 5 minutes).

m The electronic control board may cause a clicking

sound when relays activate to control refrigerator
components.

m Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and

after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.

m On models with an icemaker, after an icemaking

cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into
the ice bucket.

m You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds.

This happens when the refrigerator is first plugged
in, when the doors are opened frequently or when

a large amount of food is added to the refrigerator
or freezer compartments. The fans are helping to

maintain the correct temperatures.

m If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may hear

the fans come on in order to cool the light bulbs.

m The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal

cooling and energy savings.

m You may hear the fan running after selecting one

of the CustomCool'" settings.

WATER SDUMDS

6

m The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils

may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.

m Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause

a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the
defrost cycle.

m A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost

cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into
the drain pan.

m Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to

pressure equalization.

54

Installing the Water Line

For Australian and New Zealand installation, read these instructions completely and carefully.

Before You Begin

,:IMPORTANT: Government legislation and Codes

in most States and Territories of Australia
require installation by a licensed plumber.

The installation must conform to Australian

Standard AS3500.! Water supply.

_Water hammer (water bonging in the pipes)

in house plumbing con cause damage to the
refrigerator ports and lead to water leakage

or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct
water hammer before installing the water supply

line to the refrigerator.

Shut Off the Main Water Supply

For models fitted with an icemaker, a water supply

kit (containing flexible tubing and fittings)is supplied
with the refrigerator.

The water pressure must be between 138 and

827 kPoon models without o water filter fitted
and between 275 and 827 kPa on models with

a water filter fitted.

Turn Offthe water and open a low tap to drain

the water from the pipe.
Complying with the plumbing codes, install a suitable

branch fitting (not supplied) to the cold water supply.
Extend the branch to a suitable location adjacent

to the refrigerator when it is located in its operating
position. Terminate the branch with a shutoff valve

(not supplied).
IMPORTANT:The shut-off valve should be accessible

(such as in an adjacent cupboard, as close to the wall
as possible)when the refrigerator is in its normal
operating position.

,:To prevent burns and refrigerator damage, do not

hook up the water line to the hot water line.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the

water line, make sure the icemaker power switch
is set to the O position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing inareas where
the temperatures fall below freezing.

If your water supply pressure is higher than 690 kPa

during the day (ifso, it may reach higher levels
at night), install a suitable Pressure limiting valve

(not supplied), after the shut-off valve, making sure
the "flow arrows" on the body of the device face
the same direction as the water flow.

If necessary, assemble a suitable fitting (not supplied)
to the up-stream end of the shutoff valve (or pressure
limiting valve) for attachment of the fitting supplied

with the water supply kit.
NOTE:PTFEtape should be used for a water tight seal

when assembling all the above fittings.

Donot turn the water supply On at this time.

55

Turn the Water On

Turn the water On at the shutoff valve.
Tighten any connection that leaks.

Replace the access cover and tighten all screws
(on some models).

Plug In the Refrigerator

Plug in the refrigerator to the Power Outlet

and turn On.
IMPORTANT:Always operate the Refrigerator from

a power source of the same Voltage, Frequency and

Rating as indicated on the Refrigerator Identification
Plate. Operate the Refrigerator from an Earthed

(Grounded) 5 Pin Power Outlet fully accessible when
the refrigerator is located in its normal operating

position.
Arrange the coil of tubing so that it does not

vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or
against the wall.

Start the Icemaker

Set the icemaker power switch to the I position.

The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches

its operating temperature of -9°¢ or below. It will
then begin operation automatically if the icemaker

power switch is in the I position.
