REFRIGERATORUSE
Your refrigerator has four leveling legs. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the door to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, such as the flooring and surrounding structures, can make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds
of sounds and what may be making them.
Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize
energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items stored inside the refrigerator.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.
You may hear water running into the drain pan when the refrigerator is defrosting.
You may hear clicking sounds when the refrigerator starts or stops running.
The control is located behind the base grille. Lift up on the door in the center of the grille to access the control.
For your convenience, your refrigerator temperature control is preset at the factor),. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the control is still preset to the mid-setting as shown.
2=
Move the refrigerator into its final location.
3.
Turn the leveling legs to the right to lower the refrigerator or turn the leveling legs to the left to raise it. It may take several
turns of the leveling legs to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator. NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling legs. This makes it easier to adjust the leveling legs.
4=
Open the door again to make sure that it closes as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both front leveling screws to the left. It may take
several more turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same amount.
Adjusting Controls
The mid-setting should be correct for normal usage. The control is set correctly when beverages are as cold as you like.
If you need to adjust the temperature, wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then recheck the temperature.
To make the refrigerator colder, adjust the control to the next higher setting. To make the refrigerator less cold, adjust the control to the next lower setting.

To clean your refrigerator:
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves, etc.
3. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or damage materials.
To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a
mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g to 0.95 L] of water).
4.
Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners containing
chlorine. These can scratch or damage materials. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
NOTE: To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that
you use the manufacturer's approved Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish. To order the cleaner, see "Accessories."
IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only! Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come
into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild
detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Your refrigerator will not operate
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.
Is the Refrigerator Control turned to the OFF position? See
"Using the Control."
The motor seems to run too much
Is the temperature outside hotter than normal? Expect the
motor to run longer under warm conditions. At normal outdoor temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more of the time.
Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator? Adding a large amount of food warms the
refrigerator. It is normal for the motor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down.
Is the door opened often? Expect the motor to run longer when this occurs. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food
organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See "Using the Control."
Is the door closed completely? Push the door firmly shut. If it will not shut all the way, see "The door will not close completely" later in this section.
Are the condenser coils dirty? This obstructs air transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. See
"Cleaning."
Temperature is too warm
Is the door opened often? Be aware that the refrigerator will
warm when this occurs. In order to keep the refrigerator cool, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once,
keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed.
Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator? Adding a large amount of food warms the
refrigerator. It can take several hours for the refrigerator to return to the normal temperature.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See "Using the Control."
Is the base grille blocked? For best performance, do not install the refrigerator behind a cabinet door or block the base grille.
There is interior moisture buildup
Is the door opened often? To avoid humidity buildup, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed. When the door is opened,
humidity from the room air enters the refrigerator. The more often the door is opened, the faster humidity builds up, especially when the room itself is very humid.
Is it humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside the refrigerator when the air is humid.
Is the food packaged correctly? Check that all food is securely wrapped. Wipe off damp food containers before placing in the refrigerator.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See "Using the Control."
The door is difficult to open
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Is the gasket dirty or sticky? Clean the gasket and the surface that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the
gasket following cleaning.
12
The door will not close completely
Are food packages blocking the door open? Rearrange
containers so that they fit more tightly and take up less space. Are the shelves out of position? Put the shelves back into
their correct positions. See "Refrigerator Use" for more information.
ASSISTANCE OR SERVICE
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Is the gasket sticking? Clean the gasket and the surface that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gasket
