IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard signal word DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION. These words mean:

DANGER

You will be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.

WARNING

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

CAUTION

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

To reduce the risk of  re, electric shock, or personal injury when using your product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following.

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

• NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug  rmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.

• Immediately repair or replace all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.

• Do not modify or extend the power cord length. It could cause electric shock or  re.

• When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

• The insulation in this unit contains cyclopentane or a pentane-like gas which is  ammable and requires a special elimination process. Before discontinuing use of this refrigerator, contact local authorities to arrange for safe disposal of the unit.

may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage.

WARNING

• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other  ammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• DO NOT store explosive substances such as aerosol cans containing  ammable propellants in this appliance.

• DO NOT allow children to climb, stand, or hang on the refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.

• Keep  ngers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinets are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.

• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that any service be performed by a quali ed technician.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

• Before service is performed on the interior LED lighting, unplug the refrigerator or turn o power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

NOTE: The refrigerator and freezer compartment lights are LED interior lighting, and service should be performed by a quali ed technician.

WARNING: Setting either or both controls to the OFF

position does not remove power to the light circuit.

• When you are  nished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the controls (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control, and or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.

• This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Attention Installer Instructions that were taped to the front of the refrigerator.

• After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold surfaces.

• DO NOT touch the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold—below 4°C.

…Thawed ground meats, poultry or  sh that have any o -odor or o -color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, dispose of it. The food may be dangerous to eat.

Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is a ected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their quality as you can.

WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to

the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even if they are sitting for only a few days. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions at right to help prevent accidents (child entrapment and su ocation).

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER:

• Take o the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside

CFC/HCFC DISPOSAL

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chloro uorocarbons or hydrochloro uorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to the environment if released to the atmosphere.

ELECTRICAL & GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully. TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be

properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked by a quali ed electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a quali ed technician. If you intentionally release refrigerant, you may be subject to  nes and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

WARNING: Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two-prong) adaptors. Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, the use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, if you still elect to

use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (USA), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet, and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance needed for the back of the refrigerator.

3-prong grounding type wall receptacle

3-prong grounding plug

Ensure proper ground exists before use.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 amperes (minimum). This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a  re hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Use a receptacle that cannot be turned o with a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.

Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.

CAUTION

• Do not bend the power cord excessively or place heavy

articles on it.

• Connect the power plug in the proper position with the

cord hanging down.

• When moving the refrigerator, be careful not to roll

over or damage the power cord.

• If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced

immediately by the manufacturer or its service agent.

• Do not insert the power plug with wet hands.

• Do not insert your hands into the area under the

bottom of the appliance.

• Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or

damaged by the back of the refrigerator.

WARNING

Replacing Electrical Cord

To avoid hazard, damaged power cords must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly quali ed technician. Do not operate the appliance with a damaged power cord.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

SETTING THE CONTROLS

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections). The colder the setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts the cold air  ow from the freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the freezer compartment to make it colder.

AIRFLOW

Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food section and back again through air vents in the wall dividing the two sections. Be sure not to block vents while packing your refrigerator. Doing so will restrict air ow and may cause the refrigerator temperature to become too warm or cause interior moisture buildup. (See air  ow diagram below.)

CONTROL PANEL FEATURES

Temperature

• The Refrigerator Temp Control ranges from 30°F to

46°F (1°C to 8°C). Press the Refrigerator Temp button

to cycle through the available temperature settings one increment at a time. The recommended temperature for the refrigerator compartment is 37°F (3°C).

• The Freezer Temp Control range is from -6°F to 8°F

(-21°C to -13°C). Press the Freezer Temp button to

cycle through the available temperature settings one increment at a time. The recommended temperature for the freezer compartment is 0°F (-18°C).

NOTE: When changing control settings, wait 24 hours before making additional adjustments. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you would like and when ice cream is  rm. If the temperature in either compartment is too cold or too warm, change the setting one increment at a time. Wait 24 hours for the change to stabilize before adjusting again.

IMPORTANT:

Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and dried out food, wrap or cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide section for details.)

NOTE: If you close the refrigerator door, you may see the freezer door open and close again due to pressure from internal air  ow.

PRIOR TO USE

1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe o dust accumulated during shipping.

2. Install accessories such as ice cube bin, drawers, shelves, etc., in their proper places. They are packed together to prevent possible damage during shipment.

3. Let your refrigerator run for at least 2 or 3 hours before putting food in it. Check the  ow of cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling. Your refrigerator is now ready for use.

With either refrigerator door opened, press and hold the Refrigerator Temp. and Ultra Ice buttons at the same time for  ve seconds. The control panel will beep and the temperature settings will display to con rm that Demo Mode is deactivated. Use the same procedure to activate the Demo Mode.

Adjusting Control Settings

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before making  nal adjustments. It is best to wait 24 hours to let the normal settings (recommended in the Temperature section) stabilize before making any changes. If you need to adjust the temperature in the refrigerator or freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator temperature and allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize again. If it is still too warm or too cold, then adjust the freezer control.

Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER

Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the dispenser. The icemaker will produce 7 cubes per cycle

-approximately 70-120 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other operating conditions.

 It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed

refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait 72 hours for full ice production to occur.

 Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin is full. When

full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6 to 8 (1216 oz) glasses of ice.

 To turn o the automatic icemaker, press the Ice

Maker button on the display. To turn on the automatic icemaker, press the button again.

 The water pressure must be between 20 and

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to ensure freshness.

Items How to

Butter or margarine

Cheese

Milk

Eggs

Fruit

Leafy vegetables

Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.

Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to use it. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on interior shelf, not on door shelf.

Store in original carton on interior shelf, not in door bin.

Wash, let dry, and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or in a drawer. Do not wash or hull fruit until you are ready to use it. Sort and keep fruit in its original container, in a refrigerator drawer, or store in a completely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.

Remove store wrapping and trim or tear o bruised and discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in refrigerator drawer.

STORING FROZEN FOOD NOTE: Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook

for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs. of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.

NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

• Rigid plastic containers with tight- tting lids

• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

• Heavy-duty aluminum foil

• Plastic-coated paper

• Non-permeable plastic wraps

• Speci ed freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags Follow package or container instructions for proper

freezing methods.
