FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not store or use gasoline, orother flammable liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read pro- duct labels for warnings regarding flammability and other

hazards.

Do not operate the refrigerator inthe presense of explosive fumes.

Avoid contact with any moving parts of automatic ice maker.

Remove all stables from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts, and also destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.

CHILD SAFETY

Destroy or recycle the 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.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of

the past. Junked or abondoned refrigerators orfreezers 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 sochildren 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 is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protectionagainst

electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-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 cord that

becomes frayed or damaged.

Never unplug the refrigeratorby pullingon the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

Unplug the refrigerator before 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 refrigerator with insufficient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty.

Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a walt switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being

turned off accidentally. Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault

Interruptor (GFI) circuit.

TURNING YOUR ICE MAKER ON

After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water supply valve must be opened. Place the ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible. Lower the wire signal arm to its "down" or ON position. New plumbing connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to be

discolored or have an odd flavor. These first cubes should be discarded until the cubes produced are free of discoloration and taste.

TURNING YOUR ICE MAKER OFF

To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the "up" or OFF position. The ice maker also turns off automatically when the ice container is full. If your model has an adjustable freezer shelf, place the shelf in the lower position, so that the wire signal arm will hit the ice when the

container is full.

ice Maker

ICE MAKER 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 wilt 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. 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

Wash the ice container in warm water with mild detergent. Rinse well and dry. 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.

FOOD STORAGE IDEAS

Fresh Food Storage

The fresh food compartment should be kept between 34° F and 40 ° F with an optimum temperature of37 ° F. Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces the circulationof air around the food and results in uneven

cooling.

Fruits and Vegetables

Storage inthe crisper drawers traps moistureto help preserve the fruit and vegetable qualityfor longer time periods.

Meat

Raw meat and poultryshould be wrapped securely soleakage 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 itis 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 offreezing, and can raise the temperature of frozen foods.

Leave a space between the packages, so coldair 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 inthe freezer interiorwhere the temperature varies less.

ENERGY SAVING IDEAS

Locate the refrigerator inthe 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, ordishwasher. 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 15.

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 inthe 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 withan automatic ice

maker, you wilt hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.

E. Cold Control & Defrost Timer

These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound when turning the refrigerator on and off. The timer also produces sounds similar to an electric clock.

F. Condenser Fan

If condenser coils are located underneath your refrigerator as shown in the drawing at the left, you have a 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.

L Drain Pan (Nonremovable)

You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle. The drain pan will be located on top of the compressor for air-cooled condensers (black coils on back of refrigerator).

J. Condenser Coils (Fan-cooled models only)
