Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compaactment when hands are damp or wet.
Skin may adhere to these extremely cold
s(*r_lces.
* Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in tim vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
* In refrigerators with automatic icema_kers,
avoid contact with moving parts ot the ejector
mechanisuL or with the heating element
located on the bottom of the icemaker.
Do not place fingers or hands on the
automatic icemaking mechanism while
the refl'igerator is plugged ill
Keep fingers out of the "pinch point" areas:
clearances between the doors and between
the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.
Be careful closing doors when children are
in the area.
Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning
and making repairs. NOTE: We strongly
recommend that any servicing be perfln'med
by a qualified individual.
" Before repladng a burned-out light bulb,
the refl'igerator should be unplugged in
order to avoid contact with a live wire
filament. (A bm'ned-out light bulb may
break when being replaced.)
NOTE: Turning control to OFF does not
remove power to the light circuit.
" Do not refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely.
, Always clean the CustomCool 'MTray after
thawing food.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTtUCITY
Do not, under any drcumstaaaces, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize tile possibility of electric shock
hazard ii'om this appliance.
Hare tile wall outlet and dreuit checked by
a qualitied electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded.
Where a standaM 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it *eplaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Tile refrigerator should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical oudet which has
a voltage rating that matches tile rating plate.
Because of potential safety hazaacds under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of am adapter plug.
HoweveL it you UltlSt rise all adapter; where local
codes permit, a temporary connection may be
made to a propedy grounded 2-prong wall outlet
by use of a UI Aisted adapter available at most
local hardware stores.
The larger slot in tile adapter must be aligned with
tile larger slot ill the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in tile connection ot tile power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord ti'om tile
adaptel, always hold tile adapter ill place with one
hand while pulling tile power cord plug with tile
other hand. If this is not done, tile adapter ground
temfinal is ve_y likely to break with repeated use.
This provides tile best perfi_unance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard _i'om ox erheated wires.
Nerer unplug your refrigerator by pulling on tile
power cord. Alwa}:s grip plug firmly and pull
straight out ti'om tile outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords
that hare become tiaved or otherwise damaged.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion
damage along its length or at either end.
\_]len moving tile refrigerator away ti'oul tile
wall, be caleflll Ilot to roll over or damage tile
power cord.
If tile adapter ground terminal breal<s, DO NOT
USE tile appliance until a proper ground has been
established,
Attaching tile adapter ground terlninal to a wall
outlet cover screw does not gro/md the appliance
unless tile cover screw is metal, and not insulated,
and tile wall outlet is grounded through tile house
wiring. You shoukl have the dreuit checked bv
a qualified electridan to make sure tile outlet is
properly grounded.
Use of all adapter plug will increase tile clearance
needed tb, tile back (ff tile appliance.
USE OF EXT>2NSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazaacds under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend agafinst the
use of am extension cord.
Howe\w. if you must use all extension cord, it is
absolutely necessai T that it be a UIAisted, 3-wire
grounding _pe appliance extension cord having
a grounding b,pe plug and outlet and that tile
electrical rating of tile cord be 15 amperes
(minim urn) and 120 volts.

Hozl) [o use
TurboCool rapidly cools the
refl'igerator compartment in
order to more quickly cool f6ods.
Use TurboCool when addino a TurboCool
large amotmt ot tood to the refl'igerator
compartment, putting away foods after they
have been sitting out at room temperature
or when putting away warm leitove_. It can
also be used if the refligerator has been
without power for an extended period.
1 Press TurboCool. The refl'igerator
temperature display will show TC.
2 _Mter TurboCool is complete,
the refl'igerator comi)artinent
will return to the original setting.
Once actix;tted, the compressor will turn on
immediately and the rims will cycle on and
off at high speed as needed for 8 horn's.
The compressor will continue to rtm until
the refligerator coml)artment cools to
approximately 34°F (1 °C), then it will cycle
on and off to maintain this setting. Aflrer
8 horn's, or if TurboCool is pIessed again,
the refl'igerator compartment will return to
the original setting.
NOTES:
" The refl'igerator temperature cannot be
changed dm'ing TurboCool.
" The fl'eezer temperature is not affected
during TurboCool.
" When opening the reti'igerator door during

Behind the
fiigerator
Be careful when moving the refl'igerator away
fl'om the wall. All types of floor coverings can
be damaged, particularly cushioned covel-ings
and those with embossed sur_hces.
Pull the refl'igerator straight out and return it
to position by pushing it straight in. Moving the
reti'igerator in a side direction may result ix*
damage to the floor covering or reti'igerator.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure
you don't roll over the power cord or icemaker
supply line.
For long vacations or absences, remove tood
and unph_g the refi'igerator. Clean the interior
with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon
(15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter)
of water. Leave the doors open.
Set the icemaker power switch to the 0 (off)
position and shut off the water supl)ly to
the refl'igerator.
Secure all loose items such as shelves and
drawe_ by taping them secm'ely in place
to prevent damage.
When using a hand truck to move the
reh'igerator, do not rest the h'ont or back
of the refrigerator against the hand truck.
This could damage the reti'igerator. Handle
only fl'om the sides of the reti'igerator.
If the temperlm*re can drop below fl'eezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water supply
system to prevent serious l)roperty damage due
to flooding.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright

• Sometimes the refrigerator runs ti)r an

• You may hear a whooshing sotmd when the
doors close. This is due to pressm'e
equalizing within the refl'igerator.
• You mav hear the fans spinning at high
speeds. This happens when the refi'igerator
is first plugged in, when the doors are
opened fl'equently or when a large alllO/lllt
of ti)od is added to the refl'igerator or
fl'eezer compartments. The rims are helping

• The rims change speeds in order to provide
optimal cooling and energy savings.
• You mav hear the rims running alter
selecting one of the CttstomCooI'"settings.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and CHIRPS
• You may hear cracking or popping sotmds
when the refl'igerator is first plugged in.
This happens as the reti'igerator cools to
tile correct temperature.
• Electronic dampers click open and closed to
provide optimal cooling and energy savings.
• The compresso* may cause a clicking or
chirping sound when attempting to restart
(this could take up to 5 minutes).
• The electronic control board may cause
a clicking sotmd when relays acti_;_te to
control refl'igerator components.
• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils
during and after defl'ost can cause a crocking
or popping sound.
• On models with an i(emakeL aiter an

• The flow of refl'igerant through the fl'eezer

• _lter dropping on the defl'ost heater can

• A water dripping noise may occur during the

and flows into the drain pan.
• Closing the door may cause a gm'gling sound
