SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND ATTACH YOUR SALES RECEIPT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obeyall safety messages. This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill orhurt 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, CAUTION. These words mean:

You wlll be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, _ result in minor or moderate

injury, or product damage only.

Aii safety messages wiii identify the hazard, teli you how to reduce the chance of injury and teli you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your product, basic safety precautions shouidbe followed, including the following:

° NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.

Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.

° Repair or replace immediately all electric service 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 theplug or connector end.When moving your

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

° DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors

andliquids in the vicinity of this or any other 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 fingers out of "pinch point" areas; clearances between

the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful when you open the doors when children are in the area.

° Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any

repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be

performedby a qualified individual.

° Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the

refrigerator orturn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse

box in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A

burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.)

NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.

° DO NOT store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may

break when frozen, causing damage.

° The refrigerator-freezer should be so positioned that the

supplyplug is accessible for quick disconnection if an accident happens.

° For personal safety, this appliance must be properly

grounded. Have the wail outlet and the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly

grounded. ° Read all instructions before using this appliance. * Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described

inthis use and care guide. ° After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the

coldsurfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are

damp orwet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold surfaces. ° In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact

with themoving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the

heating element that releases the cubes. DO NOT place

fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism

while the refrigerator is plugged in. ° DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed

completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in

Home andGarden Bulletin No. 69 says:

"...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed

ifthey still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold

below40°F (4°C)."

"...Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-

odoror off-color should not be refrozen and should not be

eaten.Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or

color ofany food is poor or questionable, get rid of it. The

food may bedangerous to eat."

"Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating

qualityof foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and prepared

foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than

that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as

possible to save as much of their quality as you can."

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or

Jack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous. Even if they will sit for "just a few days". If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions at right to help

prevent accidents.

[e] e q

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofiuorocarbons).CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric Ozone.

For proper disposal of the product, please contact your local regulatory agency.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United States), 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. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid any hazard.

Ensure proper ground exists

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD

REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER

• Take off the doors.

° Leave the shelves in place so that, children may

not easily climb inside.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115 volts, 60Hz, AC only and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.

This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord. Where a standard two-prong wail outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (Ground) prong from the power cord. NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (thermostat, refrigerator control or freezer control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.

LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT Door Alignment

Leveling

Your refrigerator has two front leveling screws, one on the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using

the instructions below:

1. Plug the refrigerator's power cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final position.

2. Turn the leveling screw clockwise to raise that side of the

refrigerator or counterclockwise to lower it. It may take

several turns of the leveling screw to adjust the tilt of the

refrigerator.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

if the space between your doors is uneven, follow the

instructions below to align the doors:

|. With one hand, lift up the door you want to raise at middle

hinge.

2. With other hand, use pliers to insert snap ring as shown.

3. insert additional snap rings until the doors are aligned. (Three snap rings are provided with unit.)

3. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they close easily. If not, flit the refrigerator slightly more to the

rear by turning both leveling screws clockwise. It may take

several more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws the same amount.

4. Re-adjust if necessary.

5. Replace the base cover.

NOTE: Your new refrigerator is uniquely designed with two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or closed independently of one another. You may have to exert slight

pressure on doors to get them to dose completely.

ENSURING PROPER AiR CiRCULATiON

In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in

the illustration below, air enters at the top of the freezer and circulates down. From bottom of the freezer, air is forced up to top of the refrigerator. Air enters to the refrigerator through top vent, then circulates and exists at the bottom, where it

returns to the freezer.

DOOR ALARM

With this feature you will listen an alarm when the freezer or refrigerator door is not closed within I minute after it is opened. These tones repeat every 30 seconds. The alarm is cancelled when the freezer or the refrigerator door is closed correctly.

SETTING THE CONTROLS

MULTI-FLOW

Multi-Flow means powerful and efl:ective cooling operation. This is especially noticeable when new food is placed in the

refrigerator compartment.

If water or foreign substances enter to the cool air vent while cleaning, efficiency will be lowered. In addition, if there is damaged, efficiency may be lowered because of escaping

cool air.

° Your refrigerator has two controls that let you regulate the

temperature in the freezer and refrigerator compartments.

° Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL at 37°F (3°C)

and the FREEZER CONTROL at O°F (-18°C).Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature as desired.

Do not block any of the cool air vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be restricted and

temperature and moisture problems may occur.

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 drying out of food, wrap or cover

foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide section for details).

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to cooJ down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. The mid-settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when mill< or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

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

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer,

start by adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait 24 hours after the

refrigerator adjustment to check the freezer temperature. If it is

too warm or too cold, then adjust the freezer control as well.

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

Storing Fresh Food

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.

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

Cheese

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

Milk

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

Eggs

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

Fruit Wash, let dry, and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or in the crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until you are ready to use them. Sort and keep berries in their original container in a crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.

Leafy vegetables Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off: bruised and

discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in a

plastic bag or plastic container and store in the crisper.

Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)

Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper.

Fish

Use fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased.

Chef fresh

Store most chef fresh in original wrapping as long as it is airtight and moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary.

Leftovers

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Plastic containers with tight lids can also be used.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: For further information about preparing food for

freezing or food storage times, check a freezer guide or a

reliable cookbook.

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 proper care is not given during packaging, you could

have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

° Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids. * Straight-sided canning/freezing jars.

° Heavy-duty aluminum foil. ° Plastic-coated paper.

° Non-permeable plastic wraps. ° Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags.

Freezing

Your freezer wiii not quick-freeze any large quantities of food.

Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 ibs 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 (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.

NOTE: Do not store food near the sensor; it may cause the sensor to malfunction.

SUFFOCATION HAZARD When using dry ice, provide adequate ventilation. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide (CO2). When it vaporizes, it can displace oxygen, causing dizziness, light-headedness, unconsciousness and death by sufl:ocation. Open a window and do not breathe the vapors.

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use:

° Bread wrappers. * Non-polyethylene plastic containers. ° Containers without tight lids. * Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap.

° Thin, semi-permeable wrap.

or can perishable food at once.

ICEMAKER

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

OPERATION iNSTRUCTiONS

NOTE: Automatic Ice Maker feature is included only in certain models. Please check your product specification.

A newly=installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to

begin making ice.

Switch

Arm

This type of icemaker wiii produce twelve cubes per cycle approximately 80 -100 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature,

number of door openings and other operating conditions.

WHEN YOU SHOULD SET THE ICEMAKER POWER

SWITCH TO O (OFF)

° When the water supply will be shut off for several hours. * When the ice storage bin is removed for more than a minute

or two.

° When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.

NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

The icemaker water valve wiii buzz as the icemaker fills with water. If the power switch is in the I (ON) position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to O (OFF).

NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the I (OFF) position before the water line is connected can damage the icemaker.

° You wiii hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin and

water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.

PREPARING FOR VACATION

Set the icemaker power switch to 0 (OFF) and shut off the water supply to the refrigeraton

If the surrounding air temperature wiii drop below freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding from ruptured water lines or connections.

If the refrigerator is used before the water connection is made

to the icemaker, set the power switch to O (OFF).

When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, set the power switch to I (ON). The icemaker will fill with water only when it cools to freezing. A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin

making ice cubes.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clean

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.

It is normal for some cubes to be stuck together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy,

taste stale, and shrink.

NOTE: Water line installation is needed when the Automatic

Ice Maker and/or Water Dispenser features are available on

your product.

Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wail outlet.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

° Copper Tubing 1/4" outer diameter to

connect the refrigerator to the water supply.

Be sure both ends of the tubing are cut

square.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these instructions carefully to

minimize the risk of expensive water damage. Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water

leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the

refrigerator. To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line,

make sure the icemaker power switch is in the O (OFF} position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing. When using any electrica! device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is doubleinsulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shod<, or is

battery-powered. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

NOTE: Wear eye protection.

° If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected

to your cold water supply, This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer.

Follow next instructions carefully to minimize the risk of

expensive water damage.

* If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected

to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 PSI or 0,27 MPa to 0,41MPa (2,8 kg'f/cm 2 - 4,2 kg'f/cm 2, Jessthan 2 - 3 seconds to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity [0,2 liters]). If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is Jess than 21

PSI or 0,14 MPa (1,5 kg'f/cm 2, more than 4 seconds to fill a

cup of 7 oz capacity [0,2 liters]).

° Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

° Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill

after heavy usage.

° If the issue about water pressure from reverse osmosis

remains, carl a licensed, qualified plumber.

To determine how much tubing you need: measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8 feet (2,4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet [2,4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10 in [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to

move out from the wall after installation.

Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8 feet (2.4 m) as

described above.

* A cold water supply.The water pressure must be between

20 and 120 PSI (0,137 and 0,82 MPa or 1,4 and 8,2 bar) on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 PSI

(0,275 and 0,82 MPa or 2,8 and 8,2 bar) on models with a water filter.

* Power drift.

" 1/2" or adjustable wrench.

• Straight= and Phifflpsblade screwdriver.

* Two 1/4" outer diameter

compression nuts and 2 ferrules (sJeeves) to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.

• If your existing copper water line has a flared fitting at the end, you will need an adapter (available at plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to the refrigerator OR you can cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutterand then use a compression fitting.

* Shut off valve to connect to the

cold wafer llne. The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a minimum inside diameter of

5/3 2 " at the point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE.

Saddle-type shutoff valves are included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

iNSTALLATiON iNSTRUCTiONS

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking

water line.

5. TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell.

1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the line.

2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION Choose a location for the valve that is

easily accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water pipe_ make the connection to the top or side_ rather than at the bottom_ to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water

pipe.

3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even

if using a seifpiercing valve) using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs

resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Take care not to allow water to

drain into the drill. Failure to drill a

1/4 " hole may result in reduced ice

production or smaller cubes.

4.FASTEN THE SHUT OFF VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe

clamp.

NOTE: Do not over tighten or you may crush the tubing.

UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one did

not make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be

concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal.

Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

• The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or refrigerator control, depending on the model) will also click when cycling

on and off:.

• Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant_ the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

• Your refrigerator is designed to run more emcientiy to keep your food items at the desired temperature.

• The high emciency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run longer than your old one, and you may hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.

• You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments. As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator. Contraction and expansion of the inside wails may cause a popping noise. Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound. You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the

condenser fan.

You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
