REFRIGERATORSAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen ifthe instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:
• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
• Do not remove ground prong.
• Do not use an adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Disconnect power before servicing.
• Replace all panels before operating.
• Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Use nonflammable cleaner.
• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from refrigerator.
• Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.
• Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker
kit ready models only).
• Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water (on some
models).
ProperDisposal ofYour OldRefrigerator
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous
- even ifthey will sit for "just a few days." Ifyou are getting rid of
your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help
prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:.
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.
INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Remove the Packaging Materials
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap
over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water
and dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For
more information, see "Refrigerator Safety."
On some models, shelves, bins, door shelf rails, and other
feature parts may be packaged in the Interior FeaturePak.
Follow the instructions contained in the package for proper
assembly.
Depending on your model, to remove the protective
(transparent) film that is on the nameplate, which is located
on the freezer handle, use your fingernail and peel off the film,
starting from one side and peeling to the other.
There are four bolts that secure the refrigerator to the
shipping case. Keep these bolts because they are the
refrigerator's leveling legs.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the white foam air return insert that
is located behind the control panel on the ceiling of the
refrigerator (on some models). The insert is part of the refrigerator
and not part of the packing material. If the insert is removed, ice
may migrate down from the freezer and cause icicles to form.
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator
for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor.
Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it.
Do not wiggle or "walk" the refrigerator when trying to move
it, as floor damage could occur.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of
your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
"Refrigerator Care."
important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when
removing them to avoid impact from dropping.
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 1/2"
(12.70 mm) space on each side. Allow 3" (7.5 cm) of space
between overhead cabinets and refrigerator top. Allow at least 1"
(25.40 mm) between back of cabinet and the wall. If your
refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave some extra
space at the back for the water line connections.
• If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave
2" (5.08 cm) minimum on the hinge side (depending on your
model) to allow for the door to swing open.
• Level the refrigerator. See "Adjust the Doors."

Door Closing
NOTE: There are 4 bolts located in the crisper. These are the
leveling legs.
If your refrigerator seems unsteady to you or you want the doors
to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using these
instructions.
1. Screw the legs all the way into the bolt holes in the bottom
corners of the refrigerator.
2. Plug refrigerator power cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet.

• Turn the leveling leg to the right to lower that side of the •
refrigerator.
• Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of the •
refrigerator.
5. Check with a level.
6.
Open and close both doors to make sure they swing properly.
If the doors do not close on their own, you will need to raise
the front of the refrigerator so it is slightly higher than the
back. To do this, turn the front leveling screws clockwise
1/2turn.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to turn both legs an equal amount or
the refrigerator will no longer be level side to side.

8. Using a level, check to see whether the refrigerator is still
level side to side. Readjust if necessary.
i
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't
make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, like the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds
seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and
what may be making them.
• Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep
your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize
energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may
cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You
may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the
compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through
the refrigerator compartment. The fan speed may increase as
you open the doors or add warm food.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items
stored on top of the refrigerator.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.
You may hear water running into the drain pan during the
defrost cycle.
You may hear clicking sounds when the refrigerator starts or
stops running.
• The defrost timer may click when the defrost cycle starts.
REFRIGERATORUSE
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit
airflow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in
the illustration, cool air enters through the bottom of the freezer
section and moves through the multiflow tower in the refrigerator.
Door Alignment
If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it
using the instructions below:
1. Pry off the top hinge cover.
2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a %6" socket or wrench.
3. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer
between the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.
4. Replace the top hinge cover.
Do not block any of these vents with food packages. Ifthe vents
are blocked, airflow will be prevented and temperature and
moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any
odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent
odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

REFRIGERATORFEATURES
Your model may have some or all of these features. Features that
can be purchased separately as product accessories are labeled
with the word "Accessory." Not all accessories will fit all models.
See the "Assistance or Service" section if you are interested in
purchasing one of the accessories.
APAGA
IMPORTANT:
Turning the Temperature Control to OFF stops cooling in the
refrigerator and freezer compartments, but it does not
disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply.
The Temperature Control regulates the temperature in both
the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Settings to the left
of the mid-setting make the temperature less cold. Settings
to the right of the mid-setting make the temperature colder.
Wait 24 hours before you put food into your refrigerator. If you
add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your
food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the Temperature Control to a higher (colder)
setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
The mid-settings should be correct for normal household
usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as
cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or
freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not
blocked before adjusting controls.

important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when
removing them to avoid impact from dropping.
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to match your
individual storage needs.
Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and
adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make
finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the
amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy.
To remove and replace a shelf:
1. Remove items from the shelf.
2. Lift back of shelf over stop.
3. Slide the shelf straight out.
4. Replace the shelf by sliding the back of the shelf into the
track in the wall of the cabinet.
5. Guide the front of the shelf into the shelf track. Be sure to
slide the shelf in all the way.
To remove and replace the crisper:
1. Lift the front of the crisper and slide outward.
2. Replace the crisper by inserting the rear of the crisper into the
slots and sliding it back into place.
To remove and replace the crisper cover:
1. Lift the front of the cover and slide outward.
2. Replace the cover by inserting the rear of the cover into the
slots and sliding it back into place.
