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 inplace 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 is equipped with a

three-prong grounding plug for yourprotection against

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 pulling on 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 wall
switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being

turned off accidentally.

• Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault

Interruptor (GFI) circuit.

ThisUse& CareManualprovidesspecificoperating
instructionsforyourmodel.Usetherefrigeratoronlyas
instructedinthisUse&CareManual.Beforestartingthe

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 of direct 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.

Crisper Humidity Control

If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it will provide a sufficient
supply of ice for normal use. During the initial startup of your refrigerator,
however, no ice will beproduced during the first24 hours ofoperation. Automatic
ice makers are also optional accessories that may be installed in most models
at any time. Call your local dealer for information.

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 itas 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. Ifyour 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 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.

• 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.

12

FOOD STORAGE IDEAS

Fresh Food Storage

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

• 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 inthe coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight,
and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator

MI

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 Charton 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.

13

UNDERSTANDING THE SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may make unfamiliar
sounds. These are all normal sounds and soon will become

familiar toyou. They also indicate your refrigerator is operating

as designed. 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 isequipped with an automatic ice
maker, you wilt hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.

E. Cold Control & Defrost Timer or Automatic

Defrost Control

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)
