Safety Precautions

1. Use the three-pronged plug only with a groundingreceptacle to provide protection
from electrical shock (see below). This appliance must be installed in accordance
with the installation and grounding instructions on pages 3-4.

2. Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning condenser, replacing a light bulb, or
making any repairs. Any servicing should be performed by a qualified technician.

3. Incaseof power failure, minimizedoor openings. If powerfailure is oflongduration,
protectfrozen food byplacing blocksof dryiceontopofthepackages,orcheck with

a localfrozen foods lookerplantabout temporarystorage. Frozenfoods which have
thawed completely should not be refrozen.

4. Any electric service cord that becomes frayed or damaged should be immediately

repaired or replaced. Never unplug your appliance by pulling on the power cord.

5. Your refrigerator should not be operated in the presence of explosive fumes.

6. Remove the doorsfrom any out-of-use refrigerator to prevent child entrapment and

suffocation.

7. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the

refrigerator is plugged in. This will help protect you from possible injury, it will also
prevent interference with moving parts of the ejector mechanism and the heating

element that releases the cubes.

Electrical Connection and Grounding [

Your refrigerator is designed to operate on a nominal 115 rF=
grounded circuit, serving this refrigerator only. DO NOT use _ou.=.G.LUG"

[ Setting Controls]

Your new refrigerator has two controls. One for r;,".",_:'_,_'.",_.';,._%__ T

regulating the temperature in the fresh food com-
partment and one for the freezer. Both controls are

located atthe upper rearofthe refrigerator compart- / _, ,,._.'","-'.%%',_'.C_

To start your refrigerator, setthe refrigerator control i)

Let the refrigerator run at least two hours before _ Fig.
loading it with food.

IMPORTANT: In a day or so, you my decide that one or both compartments should be
colder or warmer. DO NOT change either control more than one letter or one number
at a time. Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize before adjusting the setting again.

This does not apply when you first start your refrigerator.

To turn off your refrigerator, set the refrigerator control on OFF.

[ Warm Cabinet Surfaces ]

At times, the front surfaces of your refrigerator cabinet may be warm to the touch. This
is a normal function of you r refrigerator. This feature prevents moisture from condensing
on the outside of your refrigerator during humid weather. This condition may be

noticeable when you first start your refrigerator, during hot weather, and during
excessive or lengthy door openings.

[Ener,Ti.s]

For efficient energy use:

1. Be sure the refrigerator is level and ventilation around the front grille is not blocked.

2. Check door seals occasionally for leakage. Check at various places: top, bottom,
and sides.

3. Check the temperature; avoid unnecessary cold settings.

4. Keep the freezer near full capacity; less cold air is lost during door openings.

5. Let hot dishes cool before putting into refrigerator or freezer.

6. Cover liquids; if uncovered, the unit must work longer.

7. Clean refrigerator condenser coils at least twice a year.

Ice cubes that have been in the ice storage for a considerable length of time ma_

cubes be thrown away. We also suggest using an open box of baking soda i

Certain sounds may accompany thevarious cycles ofthe ice maker. Examples are: (1)
the motor may have a slighthum, (2)thecubeswillrattle asthey fallintoan emptystorage

normal and should be ignored.

Note: When dispensing icecubes, it is important that you use onlythe ice supplied by

thisicemaker. Icefromanyothersourcecouldcauseanicejam. Ifthis happens,remove

and discard all ice from the storage bin and any ice lodged in the ice chute.
