WARNINGS - ENERGY

• Refrigerators might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting contents or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when located for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed.

• Carbonated drinks should not be stored in freezer compartments or cabinets or in low-temperature compartments or cabinets. Some products, such as water ices, should not be consumed too cold.

• Do not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any kind of food and particularly for commercially quick-frozen food in food-freezer and frozen-food storage compartments or cabinets.

• Wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosting the freezer.

• A rise in temperature of frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance, or cleaning could shorten its storage life.

Setting up your refrigerator

Before using your refrigerator

• Remove the interior packaging, including bottom cushions, foam pads, and tapes.

• Remove the protective film from the doors and refrigerator body.

• Let your refrigerator stand upright for about 30 minutes before connecting it to power. This reduces the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling during transportation.

• Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth soaked in a solution of one quart of lukewarm water to two tablespoons of baking soda.

• Before putting in any fresh or frozen foods, let your freezer run for two to three hours. If the ambient temperature is high, for example in summer, wait for four or more hours.

• Adjust the feet to keep your refrigerator level. See Leveling your refrigerator

• When moving your refrigerator, do not tilt it beyond 45° from the upright position.

Finding a suitable location

• Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support your refrigerator when it is fully loaded.

• Do not install your refrigerator on carpeting or a rug.

• Your refrigerator is designed to be free standing and should not be recessed or built-in.

• If you locate your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, allow sufficient space on the sides for the doors to swing open.

• Position your refrigerator away from direct sunlight and sources of heat, such as a stove, heater, or radiator. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold temperatures may also prevent your refrigerator from performing correctly.

• Avoid locating your refrigerator in moist areas.

Your refrigerator is designed to operate in a temperature range of 50° F (10° C) and 109° F (43° C). If you operate your refrigerator outside this temperature range, your refrigerator may not work correctly.
