REFRIGERATOR SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately'

follow instructions.

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

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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

• Do not remove ground prong.

• Do not use an adapter.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Disconnect power before servicing.

• Replace all parts and panels before operating.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

• Use nonflammable cleaner.

• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.

• Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

IMPORTANT: 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 these instructions to help

prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

• Take off the door.

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

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable matedats and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to de so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Your refrigerator operates most efficiently when located in an area where the temperature is normally between 15°F (-9°C) and 120°F (49°C).

The refrigerator is equipped with a heater to keep contents from freezing in cold outside temperatures below 32°F (0°C) and

above 15°F (-9°C). If the temperature falls below 15°F (-9°C) remove contents from refrigerator. See "Winterizing."

Turn the leveling leg to the right to lower that side of the refrigerator or turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side. It may take several turns of the leveling leg 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 screws.

Casters are an optional accessory. To order, call 1-800-442-9991 or contact your authorized KitchenAid dealer. In Canada, call, 1-800-807-6777.

5. Allow the refrigerator to sit upright for 4 hours.

6. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

REFRIGERATOR USE

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.

• The evaporator fan runs continuously. This defrosts the evaporator, keeps a constant temperature inside the refrigerator and makes the refrigerator more energy efficient.

• 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.

For your convenience, your refrigerator control is preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the

control is still preset to the mid-setting.

Toturn your refrigerator Off, turn the refrigerator control to the off position.

NOTE: Your product will not cool when the refrigerator control is in the Off position.

Adjusting Controls

The mid-setting indicated in the previous section 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.

REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Your outdoor refrigerator has two adjustable shelves. Each shelf will fit in any of the four positions in the refrigerator.

To install shelves:

1. Remove the shelf by lifting the entire shelf slightly and move it

all the way to one side. Tilt the other side up and out of the shelf supports.

2. Replace the shelf by inserting one end all the way into the center of the shelf supports. Then, lower the other end of the shelf and insert it into the shelf supports.

NOTE: The shelf should lower slightly and lock into place. If the shelf does not appear stable, make sure both ends of the shelf are inserted into the shelf supports.

Your outdoor refrigerator has two attached wire baskets for storage.

REFRIGERATOR CARE

E×p_oeion Hazard

Use nonflammable cteaner. Failure to do so can result in death, e×p_osion, or fire.

Clean the refrigerator about once a month to prevent odors from building up. Wipe up spills immediately.

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 exterior with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

• 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 & Polish.

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only!

• Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish to come

into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces or door gaskets. If accidental contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. To order the cleaner, see the "Accessories" section.

5. Replace the removable parts.

6. Clean the condenser coils regularly. They are located at the back of the cabinet. Coils may need to be cleaned as often as every other month. This may help save energy.

• Use a vacuum with an extended attachment to clean the

condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.

7. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
