Important Safety Instructions

,_)k WARNING i When using your appliance, always follow basic precautions, including

the following:

Use the refrigerator only tor its intended purpose.
To prevent possibility of hazard due to electrical shock,

never plug the refrigerator into a receptacle which has
not been grounded adequately and in accord_mce with

the local aud national electrical codes, See the ,_ warn-
ing and grounding insmlctions below.

Unplug the reli'igerator before cleaning or replacing a
light bulb.

In case of power failure, minimize door openings. If the

power failure is of a long duration, protect the food by
placing blocks of d_ ice on top of the packages or check

with a local li'ozeu foods locker about temporary stor-
age. Frozen foods which have thawed completely should

not be refrozen and should be discarded.
Any electrical service cord that hecomes frayed or dam-

aged should be immediately repaired or replaced. Never
unplug your appliance by pulling on the power cord.

Your refrigerator should not be operated in the presence
of explosive li]mes.

Children should not climb, hang or stand on the shelves
o1'this relrigerator.

Important: Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned

refrigerators are still dangerous.., even if they will
sit for 'just a few days"' If you are getting rid of
your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions

below to help prevent accidents.

• Take off the doo;s.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not

easily climb inside.

_k WAFINING I This appliance is designed to operate on a normal 115 volt, 15 amp, 60 cycle

line. There should be a separate, grounded circuit serving this appliance only. Do not use an
extension cord. Do not use any device that will alter the electrical performance of this appliance.

This appliance is equipped with a three-pronged grounding plug for
your protection against possible electrical shock hazards. It must be

plugged into a grounding receptacle. Where a standard two-prong

wail receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and

obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly
grounded three prong wall receptacle. Do not under any circum-

stances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong ti'om the power cord.

Do not use an adapter plug. Do not use an extension cord.

Your new refrigerator was packed carefully for shipment. Remove and discard shelf packing clips (if used) located just
above each shelf where they hook onto the franle. To remove plas[ic clips wiggle the clips sideways and pull straight out.

Location of Your

Refrigerator

Aliowforafre fl ,_ " "

e or' _f an- throu=h the front base grille.

Install the refrigerator where the room temperature will
not go below 55 ° E With temperatures below 55 °, the
refrigerator will not run frequently enough to maintain
proper temperature in the freezer.

Allow a minimunl 1/2" clearance on the sides, top and
back ti)r ease of installation. If the refrigerator is placed

with the door hinge side against a wall, you may want to

allow additional space so the door can be opened wider.
Use caution when installing the unit on vinyl _)r hard-

wood floors so as not to mark or otherwise damage the
flooring. A piece of plywood, a pug or other material
should be used to protect the Boor while positinning the

unit.

Leveling is Important

To enhance appearance and to maintain optimal perfor-
mance, the refrigerator must be level. Your refi'igerator has

wheels which can be adjusted for leveling:

Remove the lower hinge covers Isee fig. 1), To do this,
grasp each cover near the hinge and apply pressure. The
attachment tabs will snap out, allowing removal of the

covers.

At{just the wheels with a screwdriver (see fig. 2).
To lock the cabinet in place, turn down both

leveling/lock feet, located near Ihe front wheels (see fig,

3). Rear levelingi!ock feet are not required.
Replace the hinge covers.

If the floor is not level and it is necessary to raise the
rear of the cabinet, we suggest rolling the rear wheels

onto a piece of plywood or other shim material.

Energy Saving Tips

• l,ocate the refrigeratnr away from heat producing appli-

ances such as the range or dishwasher, heat vents and

direct sunlight.

Level the refrigerator and du riot block ventilation
around the front grille.

Keep the freezer foil co near capacity so less cold air will
escape during door openings. When the lreezer is less
than two-thirds full, place milk cartons half full of water

in the freezer.

Let hot dishes cool slightly before putting into the

refrigerator m- freezer.

Except when stating the refl'igerator, do not change either

control more than one setting at a time.
Allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize before reset-

ting.

Warm Cabinet Surfaces

At times, the fl'ont of the refrigerator cabinet may be warm
to the touch. This is a normal occurrence that helps prevent
moisture from condensing on the cabinet. Fhe condition
will be more noticeable when you first start the refrigera-

tor, during hot weather and after excessive or lengthy door
openings.

No Defrosting

Your refrigerator is designed to defrost automatically•

Note: During the automatic defrost cycle, you may notice

a red glow/reflection in the vents on the back wall of
the freezer compartment and you may hear Ihe sound

of water droplets coming into contact with the
defrost heater. This is normal during the defrost

cycle.

Shelves

Fresh Food Compartment and Door
Elevator'" Shelf

The fresh fixed compartment is equipped with 3 Elevator TM

shelves. These shelves have a spill retainer edge f_r easy

clean up. They also have the convenient slide out feature
that allows easy access to items stored at the rear of the

shell.

These shelves can be adjusted up or down without having

to be unloaded of their contents. To adiust an Elevator '_'
shelf, unfold the recessed crank handle so it is at a right

angle to the shelf front. Crank to the right (clockwise) to
raise the height of the shelf, and the left (counterclockwise)

to lower the height of the shelf.

\

To remove the Elevator'" shelf for occasional cleaning:

• Completely unload the shelf.

• Grasp the shelf front and pull forward until it stops.

• Press the stops from below (both sides) upward and

continue pulling the shelf forward, clear of the frame.

• To reinstall, align the shelf to the frame and push it all

the way back. (There is no need to depress the stops tot
_einstallation).

In ordinary use, the Elevator'" shelf with the flame assem-
bly does N(Y!' require removal. Though unlikely, and not

reconlnlended, the correct removal procedure is as li)llows:

• Unload the shelf completely.

• Slide the shelf fl)rward about two inches and manually
move the two rear latches toward the shelf center.

• While supporting the entire shelf and flame from

underneath, lift slightly and rotate the assembly
approximately 30 ° to allow the rear mechanism to clear

the vertical rear side rails.

• The entire assembly can then be moved forward and

clear of the rel_gerator compartment.

• To reinstall, reverse the removal procedure. Be sure the
shelf is in a level position. When the sliding shelf is

pushed to the rear, it will reposition the rear httches to
their correct operating position.
