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
l
Allow for a free flow of air through the front base grille.
l
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.
l
Allow a minimum l/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.
l
Use caution when installing the
unit
on vinyl or hardwood tloors so as not to mark or otherwise damage the
flooring. A piece of plywood, a rug or other material
should he used to protect the floor while positioning the
unit.
Energy Saving Tips
Leveling is Important
To enhance appearance and to maintain optimal performance, the refrigerator must be level. Your refrigerator has
wheels which can be adjusted for leveling:
l
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.
l
Adjust the wheels with a screwdriver (see fig. 2).
l
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.
l
Replace the hinge covers.
l
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.

l
Locate the refrigerator away from heat producing appliances such as the range or dishwasher, heat vents and
direct sunlight.
l
Level the refrigerator and do not block ventilation
around the front grille.
l
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.
l
Let hot dishes cool slightly before putting into the
refrigerator or freezer.
l
Cover liquids.
l
Wipe moisture from the outside of containers before
placing them into the refrigerator.
l
Avoid opening the doors too often.

Adjusting the Twin Fresh’”
Climate Controls
l
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.
l
Except when starting the refrigerator, do not change either
control more than one setting at a time.
l
Allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize before resetting.
l
Changing either control will have some effect on the temperature of the other compartment.
Slide the refrigerator control to next higher setting.
Slide the refrigerator control to next lower setting.
Slide the freezer control to next higher setting.
Slide the freezer control to next lower setting.
Slide freezer control to OFF.
I
Note: Sliding the freezer control to OFF stops cooling in BOTH compartments. It does not shut off
power to the refrigerator.
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 refrigerator, 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
droplets coming into contact with the defrost heater. This
is normal during the defrost cycle.

Elevator’” Shelf
The Elevator’” 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’” 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 ElevatoirM shelf for occasional
cleaning, completely unload the shelf and pull the shelf forward. When the shelf stops, press up on the tabs located
underneath its outside edges, then continue pulling forward, 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 reinstallation.
In ordinary use, the Elevator’” shelf frame assembly does
NOT require removal. Though unlikely, and not recommended, the correct removal procedure is as follows:
l
Unload the shelf completely.
l
Slide the shelf forward about two inches and manually
move the two rear latches toward the shelf center.
l
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.
l
The entire assembly can then be moved forward and
clear of the refrigerator compartment.
l
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 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:
l
completely unload the shelf
l
slightly lift up the rear of the shelf
l
pull the shelf straight out
To lock a shelf into another position:
l
tilt up the front edge of the shelf
l
insert the hooks into the desired frame openings
l
let the shelf settle into place
l
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:
l
Lift the shelf front up until it clears the retainers on the
door liner.
l
Pull the bin straight out
To replace:

and other containers in their upright position and are easily adjusted by sliding sideways.

The Tall Bottle Retainer is designed to prevent tall bottles 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.
