Note: During initial use of water dispenser, there

will be a one- to two-minute delay while water tank fills before water dispenses. Discard first 10-14 glasses of water after initially connecting refrigerator to household water supply and after extended periods of nonuse.

To Use Dispenser Pad:

• Choose water selection from dispenser control panel.

• Press a sturdy, wide-mouthed container against dispenser pad. When dispensing crushed ice, hold

ainer as close to chute as possible to reduce

FOOD STORAGE TIPS

Fresh Food Storage

• The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should be kept between 34°-40° F (1°- 4° C) with an optimum temperature of 37° F (3° C). To check the temperature, place an appliance thermometer in a glass of water and place in the center of the refrigerator. Check after 24 hours. If the temperature is above 40° F (4° C) adjust the control as explained on pages 9-11.

• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven cooling.

Frozen Food Storage

• The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be kept at approximately 0° F (-17° C). To check the temperature, place an appliance thermometer between the frozen packages and check after 24 hours. If the temperature is above 0° F (-17° C), adjust the control as described on pages 9-11.

• A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least

• Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of freezing and can raise the temperature of frozen foods.

• Leave space between the packages so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible.

• Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream and orange juice on the freezer door shelves. These foods are best stored in the freezer interior where the temperature varies less with door openings.

Energy Saving Tips

• Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves. This reduces air circulation around food and causes refrigerator to run longer.

• Avoid adding too much warm food to refrigerator at one time. This overloads compartments and slows rate of cooling.

•

Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling as shelf liners. This decreases air flow and causes refrigerator to run less efficiently.

• A freezer that is two-thirds full runs most efficiently.

• Locate refrigerator in coolest part of room. Avoid areas of direct sunlight, or near heating duct registers or other heat producing appliances. If this is not possible, isolate exterior by using a section of cabinet or an added layer of insulation.

• Clean door gaskets every three months according to cleaning instructions. This will assure that door seals properly and refrigerator runs efficiently

• Take time to organize items in refrigerator to reduce time that door is open.

• Be sure your doors are closing securely by leveling refrigerator as instructed in your installation instructions.

Allow the refrigerator to cool.

9. After 24 hours, check if odor has been eliminated.

If odor is still present:

1. Remove drawers and place on top shelf of refrigerator.

2. Pack refrigerator and freezer sections – including doors – with crumpled sheets of black and white newspaper.

Place charcoal briquettes randomly on crumpled

CARE AND CLEANING

Preparing for Vacation

CAUTION

If your refrigerator has a dispenser and there is any possibility that the temperature can drop below freezing where the refrigerator is located, the water supply system (including the water tank and the water valve) must be drained by a qualified servicer.

For short vacations or absences (three months or less):

1. Remove all perishables.

2. If no one will be checking in on the refrigerator during your absence, remove all frozen items also.

If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

• Shut off the water supply to the ice maker at

least one day ahead of time.

OPERATING SOUNDS

Improvements in refrigeration design may produce sounds in your new refrigerator that are different or were not present in an older model. These improvements were made to create a refrigerator that is better at preserving food, is more energy efficient, and is quieter overall. Because new units run quieter, sounds may be detected that were present in older units, but were masked by higher sound levels. Many of these sounds are normal. Please note that the surfaces adjacent to a refrigerator, such as hard walls, floors and cabinetry may make these sounds seem even louder. The following are some of the normal sounds that may be noticed in a new refrigerator.

SOUND

Clicking

Air rushing or whirring

Gurgling or boiling sound

Thumping

Vibrating noise

Buzzing
