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

●

Repair or replace immediately all electric

service 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 the plug or connector end.

●

When moving your refrigerator away from the

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

●

Do not allow children to climb, stand or

hang on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and

seriously

injure themselves.

●

If your

old

refrigerator is still around the house but not in use, be sure to remove the doors.

This will reduce the

possibility of danger to children.

●

After your refrigerator is in operation, do

not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.

●

If your refrigerator has an automatic

icemaker,

avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that

releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands

on the automatic

icemaking

mechanism while the

refrigerator is plugged in.

●

Don’t

refreeze frozen foods which have thawed

completely,

The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

“..

,You

may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold—below

40°F. (4°C.).

“..

.Thawed

ground meats, poultry or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of

any

food is poor or questionable, get rid of it. The

food may be dangerous to eat.

“Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the

eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as

possible to save as much of their eating quality as you can.”

●

Unplug your refrigerator before

cleaning and making repairs. NOTE:

We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

●

Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, the

refrigerator should be unplugged in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced,)

NOTE:

Turning control to OFF position does

not remove power to the light circuit.

●

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

It is not necessary to defrost the freezer or fresh food compartments,

Warm liquid from the refrigerator’s condenser is automatically

Your refrigerator is designed and equipped to defrost itself automatically,

circulated around the front edge of the freezer compartment to help keep moisture from forming on the outside of the refrigerator during humid weather.

Tips on Freezing Foods

There are 3 essential requirements for efficient home freezing.

1. Initial quality. Freeze only top-quality foods. Freezing retains

quality

and

flavor; it cannot improve quality.

2. Speed. The quicker fruits and vegetables are frozen after picking,

the better the frozen product

will

be.

You’ll

save time, too, with less

culling and sorting to do.

Proper packaging. Use food wraps designed especially

for freezing.

To freeze meat, fish and poultry, wrap well in freezer-weight foil (or other heavy-duty wrapping material), forming it carefully to the shape of the contents. This expels air. Fold and crimp ends of the package to provide

good, lasting seal. Don’t refreeze meat that has been completely thawed; meat, whether raw or cooked, can be frozen successfully only once.

Fine-quality ice cream, with high cream content, will normally require slightly

lower temperatures than more “airy” already-packaged

brands with low cream content.

● It will be necessary to experiment to determine the freezer

compartment location and temperature control setting to keep your ice cream at the right serving temperature.

● The rear of the freezer compartment is slightly colder than the front.

New techniques are constantly being developed. Consult the County Extension Service or your local Utility Company for the latest

information on freezing and storing, foods.

Drawer Removal

CAW Am CLEAN~G

(continued)

Drawers will stop before coming all the way out of the refrigerator to help prevent contents from spilling onto the floor. Drawers can easily be

removed

tilting

up slightly and pulling past the “stop” location.

To remove drawers when the refrigerator door cannot be opened

all the way:

1. Remove food from the drawer and its cover. If your refrigerator has

adjustable shelves, remove food from the bottom shelf and temporarily relocate it higher up in cabinet.

2. Remove the flexible gasket at the rear of the top drawer. Lift each end straight up until the slots on the gasket are free of the drawer support tabs.

3. Pull the drawer partway out. Reach in, push the rear of the glass up; at the same time, push it back

until

clears front-comer retainers.

Tilt

and remove the cover.

Pull

the drawer forward, lift the

front to clear stops, and remove the

drawer. If the refrigerator door doesn’t open completely, pull the drawer out until it hits the door. Then lift the drawer up

Water Supply to Icemaker (on some models)

If your refrigerator has an icemaker, or if you plan to add an icemaker later, the icemaker will have to be connected to a cold water line. A water supply kit containing copper tubing, shut-off valve, fittings and instructions is available at extra cost from your dealer. There

should

be sufficient tubing for the icemaker from the cold water supply to allow you to move the refrigerator out from the wall several feet (approximately 8 feet (244 cm) of 1/4” (6 mm) copper tubing in three 10-inch (25 cm) diameter coils. )

Because of potential hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against use of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a

Insure proper grounding and firm connection exists before use.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in

the wall outlet to provide proper polarity in the connection of the

power cord.

Use of an adapter plug will increase the clearance needed for the back

of the refrigerator.

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet

unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a qualified

electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

the adapter in place with one hand while pulling the power cord

~STALLATION ~STRUCTIONS

~UTION:

●

If you use

your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker feeler arm is kept in the

STOP (up) position.

● Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas

where temperatures fall below freezing.

●

When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is insulated or wired in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock.

●

installations must be in accordance with

local plumbing code requirements.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

. A cold water supply is required for automatic

icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120

p.s.i.

●

Power M, unless you have a

seM-piercing

valve.

●

Copper tubing, 1/4” (6 mm) outer diameter to

connect the refrigerator to the water supply.

sure both ends of the tubing are cut square.

To determine how much copper tubing you need:

measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe.

Then add 8 feet (244 cm). Be sure there is

sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet [244 cm] coiled into 3 turns of about 10 inches [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation. Do not use plastic tubing or plastic fittings because the water supply line is under pressure at all times. Nso,

cerhin

types of plastic tubing may become brittle with age and crack, resulting in water leakage.

●

Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.

The shut-off valve should have a water inlet with a

minimum inside diameter

of 5/32” (4 mm) at the point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type shut-off valves are included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

Two 1/4” (6 mm) outer diameter compression

nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves) – to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.

●

If your existing water line has a flared fitting at

the end, you will need an

adapter

(available at plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to the refrigerator OR – you can cut off the flared fitting with a

tube cutter and then use a

compression fitting.

Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.

Drill a 1/4” (6 mm) hole in the water pipe, using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. (Do not drill a hole if the valve is a
