Important Safety Instructi lns

_L WARNING _ When using your appliance, always follow basic precautions, including

the following:

• Use the refrigerator only for 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 accordance with
the local and national electrical codes. See the _k warn-

ing and grounding instructions below.

• Unplug the refrigerator 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 dry ice on top of the packages or check
with a local frozen 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 becomes 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 fumes.
Children should not climb, hang or stand on the shelves

of this refrigerator.

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 doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not

easily climb inside.

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

wall 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 from the power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug. Do not use an extension cord.

Installation Instructions

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 frame. To remove plastic clips wiggle the clips sideways and pull straight out.

Location of Your

Refrigerator

Allow for a free flow of air through 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 minimum 1/2" clearance on the sides, top and

back for 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 or hard-
wood floors so as not to mark or otherwise damage the
flooring. A piece of plywood, a rug or other material

should be used to protect the floor while positioning the
unit.

Leveling is Important

To enhance appearance and to maintain optimal perfor-

mance, the refrigerator must be level. Your refrigerator has
wheels which can be adjusted for leveling:

Remove the lower hinge covers (see 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.

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

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

3). Rear leveling/lock 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

• Locate the refrigerator away from heat producing appli-
ances such as the range or dishwasher, heat vents and
direct sunlight.

• Level the refrigerator and do not block ventilation
around the front grille.

Keep the freezer full to near capacity so less cold air will
escape during door openings. When the freezer 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 or freezer.

• Cover liquids.

• Wipe moisture from the outside of containers before
placing them into the refrigerator.

• Avoid opening the doors too often.

Temperature Controls

Your refrigerator has Twin Fresh TM Climate Control. The controls for setting the temperature in the fresh and frozen food
compartments are located at the top front of the fresh food compartment.

To adjust the controls, move the slide to the left or right as desired

Twin Fresh TM Climate
Control Settings

• The refrigerator control has settings from warmest to
coldest. Initially set this control at the midpoint.

• The freezer control has settings from off/warmest to

coldest. Initially set this control at the midpoint.

• Let the refrigerator run at least 8-12 hours before adding

food.

Adjusting the Twin Fresh TM

Climate Controls

24 hours after adding food, you may decide that one or
both compartments should be colder or warmer. If so,

adjust the control(s) as indicated in the table below.
Except when starting the refrigerator, do not change either

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

ting.
Changing either control will have some effect on the tem-

perature of the other compartment.

Warm Cabinet Surfaces

At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet may be warm
to the touch. This is a normal occurrence that helps prevent

moisture from condensing on the cabinet. The 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 the sound of water
droplets coming into contact with the defrost heater. This

is normal during tile defrost cycle.

Shelves

Fresh Food Compartment and Door
Elevator TM Shelf

The Elevator TM shelf is equipped with a spill-retaining edge
and the Easy Glide slide-out feature. It can be adjusted up
or down without unloading. To slide out, grasp the front of
the shelf and pull forward. Push the shelf in to return to
original position.

To adjust the Elevator TM shelf: Pull out the knob on the
crank handle. Rotate the crank clockwise to raise the shelf,

and counterclockwise to lower the height of the shelf.
To remove: To remove the Elevator TM shelf for occasional
cleaning, completely unload the shelf and pull the shelf for-

ward. When the shelf stops, press up on the tabs located
underneath its outside edges, then continue pulling for-
ward, clear of the frame.

To replace: Align the shelf to the frame and push it all the

way back. It is not necessary to depress the tabs for rein-
stallation.

In ordinary use, the Elevator TM shelf frame assembly does
NOT require removal. Though unlikely, and not recom-
mended, the correct removal procedure is as follows:

• Unload the shelf completely.

• Slide the shelf forward about two inches and manually

move the two rear latches toward the shelf center.

• While supporting the entire shelf and frame 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 refrigerator compartment.

• To reinstall, reverse the removal procedure. Be sure the
shelf is in a level position. When the sliding shelf is
pushed to the real it will reposition the rear latches to
their correct operating position.

The fresh food compartment also may be equipped with
adjustable, Spill-Catcher" shelves. These shelves have a
spill retainer edge for easy clean up.

In some models, these shelves have the slide out feature.
To slide out, simply grasp the front of the shelf and pull.
Gently push in to return the shelf to the original position.

These shelves can be moved for varying food storage
needs.

To remove a shelf:

• completely unload the shelf

• slightly lift up the rear of the shelf

• pull the shelf straight out

To lock a shelf into another position:

• tilt up the front edge of the shelf

• insert the hooks into the desired frame openings

• let the shelf settle into place

• be sure the shelf is securely locked at the rear before
reloading

The Lift Off Door Bins are roomy enough to handle gal-
lon-plus sized containers. They are adjustable and can be

easily removed.

To remove:

• Lift the shelf frnnt up until it clears the retainers on the
door liner.

• Pull the bin straight out

Toreplace:

• Reverse the above procedure.

In some models the bottom door bin is fixed, so it is not

adjustable.

A Shelf Tender is located in one refrigerator door bin (cer-
tain models have two tenders). Shelf tenders secure bottles

and other containers in their upright position and are easi-
ly adjusted by sliding sideways.

The Tail Bottle Retainer is designed to prevent tall bot-
tles from tipping forward. It is easily adjusted by sliding

from side to side.

The Tilt Out Refrigerator Door Bin (certain models) is

ideal for storing awkward containers such as liter bottles
and bagged items. By tilting the bin outward, space is

opened up to conveniently load or retrieve contents.
