IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
This symbol indicates that dangerous voltage constituting a risk of
electric shock is present within your refrigerator.
This symbol indicates that there are important operating and
maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying your
refrigerator.
WARNING
1 Read these instructions.
2 Keep these instructions.
3 Heed all warnings.
4 Follow all instructions.
5 Do not use your refrigerator near water.
6 Clean only with a damp cloth.
7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8 Do not install near any heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one
wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where it exits from your refrigerator.
11 Do not attempt to modify or extend the power cord of your refrigerator.
12 Unplug your refrigerator during lightning storms or when it will not be used for long periods of time.
13 Make sure that the available AC power matches the voltage requirements of your refrigerator.
14 Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This could result in an electric shock.
15 Unplug the power cord by holding the plug, never by pulling the cord.
16 Turn off your refrigerator before unplugging it.
17 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when your refrigerator has been damaged in any
way, such as the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into your
refrigerator, your refrigerator has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
18 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose your refrigerator to rain, moisture, dripping, or splashing, and
no objects filled with liquids should be placed on top of it.
19 Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two prong) adapters. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician install an outlet near your refrigerator. Use of an extension cord can negatively affect your refrigerator’s
performance.
20 Your refrigerator is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of your refrigerator by a person responsible for their safety.
21 Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with your refrigerator.
22 If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified person, in
order to avoid a hazard.

Providing the correct power source
Check your local power source. Your refrigerator requires a 115V, 60Hz power supply.
WAR NIN GS :
Make sure that:
• The power outlet accepts a 3-prong grounding plug. The third prong on the power cord plug grounds your refrigerator to minimize
the possibility of electric shock. Do not modify the power plug.
• You do NOT plug anything else into the same power outlet as your refrigerator. You may overload the circuit which can cause a fire.
• You do NOT use an extension cord. If your refrigerator is too far from the power outlet, move your refrigerator or have a electrician
install a plug closer to your refrigerator.
• The power outlet cannot be turned off with a switch or pull string.
Leveling your refrigerator
Leveling your refrigerator is important. If you do not level your refrigerator during installation, the doors may not close or
seal correctly which can cause cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
• Rotate the leveling feet clockwise (to raise) your refrigerator or counter-clockwise (to lower).
Note: To make it easier to adjust the feet, have someone push against the top of your refrigerator to tilt it slightly.

Setting the humidity in the crisper
There is a humidity control gauge on the crisper that can be used to control the level of humidity inside the crisper. The
single water drop indicates less humid conditions. The three water drops indicate more humid conditions. Move the slider
to change the setting.
Use the low humidity setting for fruits or vegetables that tend to rot. This includes fruits and vegetables that emit an
ethylene gas, like apples, avocados, bananas (ripe), cantaloupes, figs, honeydew melons, kiwis, mangoes, papayas, pears,
and stone fruits like apricots, nectarines, peaches, and plums.
Things that wilt are best kept at the high-humidity setting . This includes leafy greens, like bananas (unripe), Belgian
endive, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, cucumbers, eggplant, green beans, herbs (cilantro, dill,
parsley, thyme), leafy greens (like kale, lettuces, spinach, Swiss chard, and watercress), okra, peas, peppers, strawberries,
summer squash, and watermelon. By closing the humidity control gauge, water vapor is maintained at a higher level in the
drawer and the moisture keeps the greens crisper and fresher longer.
Adjusting the refrigerator shelves
The shelves inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments are adjustable.
1 Open the refrigerator or freezer compartment door all the way.
2 Lift a shelf, then pull it out.
3 To replace a shelf, slide it into the compartment, then lower it into position.

The refrigerator and freezer compartments have door racks. You can adjust a rack to fit the items you want to store.
1 Remove all items from a rack.
2 Hold the door rack with one hand, then use the other hand to tap the bottom of the rack up several inches.
3 Remove the rack from the door.
4 To replace the rack, align the rack in the door, then press down to lock the rack in place. When the rack is locked in
place, you hear a click.

The crisper is designed to store fruits and vegetables. Putting fruits and vegetables inside the crisper helps avoid losing
moisture and prevents flavor from getting into other foods.
1 Open the refrigerator compartment door all the way.
2 Lift the crisper basket with its glass cover up, then pull the crisper out.
3 To replace the crisper, slide it into the compartment, then lower it into position.

Tips on saving energy
• Locate your refrigerator in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts and out
of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in your refrigerator. Overloading your refrigerator forces
the compressor to run longer.
• Wrap foods correctly and wipe containers dry before placing them in your refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up
inside your refrigerator.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches.
• Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling to line shelves. Liners interfere with cold air circulation and
make your refrigerator less efficient.
Tips on storing food
• Always store cooked meats on a refrigerator shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meat on a plate
which is large enough to collect juices, and cover the plate with cling film or foil. Leave space around food. This allows
cold air to circulate around your refrigerator so that all parts of your refrigerator are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of flavors and food drying out, wrap or cover each food item separately. Fruit and vegetables need
not be wrapped.
• Let hot food cool down before placing it in the refrigerator or freezer compartment. Placing hot food in the
fridge-freezer could spoil other food and lead to higher temperatures.
• To prevent cold air from escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the doors. When retuning from shopping,
sort foods to be kept in the refrigerator compartment before opening the doors. Only open the door to put food in or
take it out.
• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as bananas and melons.
• When storing food in the refrigerator compartment, use a container with a lid whenever possible. This prevents
moisture from evaporating, and helps food keep its taste and nutrients.
• When storing food in the freezer compartment, wrap the food in polyethylene film, aluminum foil, or other types of
freezer storage products
• Do not block air vents inside either compartment with food. Smooth circulation of cold air keeps the refrigerator and
freezer temperatures even.
• Do not open the doors frequently. Opening the doors lets warm air enter the compartments and can cause the
temperature to rise.
• To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store food near the temperature controls.
• Never keep too many foods in the door rack, because this may stop the door from fully closing.
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment. They may break when frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes a loss of taste and nutrition.
• Store fruits and vegetables in the crisper to prevent excessive evaporation of water and freshness.
• Leave a small amount of “air space” when freezing liquids to allow for expansion.
• To make the best use of freezer space, freeze liquids (or solids with liquids, such as stew) in square blocks. Pour the
liquid into a freezer bag placed inside a square-sided container and freeze it. When the liquid is frozen, remove the bag
from the container and seal the bag.
Tips for shopping for frozen foods
• When you are buying frozen food, look at the storage guidelines on the packaging. Check the “Best Before” date. Do
not use food that is past this date.
• Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy your frozen foods.
• Make sure that the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
• Always buy frozen products last to avoid thawing while you shop.
• Keep frozen food together while shopping, and on the journey home to help to keep the food cooler.
• Don't buy frozen food unless you can freeze it quickly.
• When transporting frozen food, use special insulated bags that you can buy from most supermarkets and hardware
shops. These keep frozen food cold longer.
• Freeze food in small quantities. It freezes faster and takes less time to thaw.
• If you are freezing large amounts of fresh food, select a low temperature range. This will lower the temperature in the
freezer so your food freezes faster. When the food is frozen, adjust the temperature back to its normal mode.

Troubleshooting
CAUTION: Do not try to repair your refrigerator yourself. Doing so invalidates the warranty.
If any temperature indicator lights flash continuously, it indicates a possible malfunction. Unplug the refrigerator for one
min and then plug it back in. If the flashing light condition recurs, contact customer service.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
• Make sure that your refrigerator is securely plugged into a working outlet.
• Make sure that your power source has the correct voltage. Your refrigerator’s
My refrigerator does not work.
The refrigerator compartment
has a bad odor.
The refrigerator doors do not
close completely.
voltage rating is on a label on the back of your refrigerator.
• Check the house fuse or circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the
circuit breaker.
• Make sure that all food with a strong odor (like onions) is wrapped or stored in
airtight packaging.
• Certain containers and wrapping materials (such as paper, foil, or plastic) can
cause odors. If you think this might be the case, try using different containers or
a different brand of wrapping material.
• Check for spoiled food and remove it.
• Clean the inside of your refrigerator. See Cleaning your refrigerator
• Make sure that no food packages are in the way.
• Make sure that the door gaskets (seals) are clean. See Cleaning your refrigerator
on page 16
• If the door gasket does not seal, try heating then cooling the seal. You can use an
electric hair dryer to heat the seal.
• Make sure that your refrigerator is level. See Leveling your refrigerator

The temperature is too hot.
The temperature is too cold.
A layer of frost occurs in one of
the compartments.
The refrigerator door is hard to
open or close.
The compressor runs for a long
time or turns on and off
frequently.
• You may have left the doors open too long or opened them too frequently.
• Make sure that no obstacle is keeping the doors from closing correctly.
• Adjust the refrigerator or freezer compartment temperature. See Setting the
refrigerator temperature on page 13 or Setting the humidity in the crisper on
page 14.
• Your refrigerator may not have enough clearance from walls or the ceiling. See
Providing correct ventilation
• Adjust the refrigerator or freezer compartment temperature. See Setting the
refrigerator temperature on page 13 or Setting the humidity in the crisper on
page 14
• A layer of frost may occur on the compartment’s interior walls if the freezer is
opened frequently or kept open too long.
• Make sure that the air outlets are not blocked by food.
• Make sure that the doors are fully closed.
• When you open the refrigerator door, warm air rushes inside. When you close
the door, the warm air rushes to the condenser which causes a vacuum. This
causes the door to be hard to open for about 10 to 15 seconds after closing.
• If the door is hard to open at other times, try rubbing paraffin wax or petroleum
jelly along the edges of the entire gasket. Paraffin wax is used for canning and is
safe for use around food.
• If the door is hard to close, try slightly loosening the tension on the door hinges.
The compressor runs longer if:
• The room temperature is high.
• You just added a large amount of food. Wait for the food to freeze, then check
again.
• You open and close the door frequently.
• The door gasket is dirty. Clean the gasket. See Cleaning your refrigerator
page 16
• Your refrigerator has been disconnected for a period of time. Wait for your
refrigerator to cool (about four hours) before adding food.
• You have the temperature set too low.

• If your refrigerator is not level. See Leveling your refrigerator
• If your refrigerator is touching walls. Move it away from the walls.
• If the shelves or drawers are installed incorrectly.
Heat dissipation from the condenser may make the outside feel hot. This is normal and
happens if:
• The room temperature is high.
• You have too much food in your refrigerator.
• You open and close the doors excessively.
• Condensation on the exterior surface and door seal is normal when the room
humidity is high.
• When you open the door, warm, moist outside air meets the cold dry air inside
your refrigerator. This is normal.
