3PRODUCT FEATURES

PRODUCT FEATURES

* Depending on the model, some of the following functions may not be available.

DOOR ALARM

The Door Alarm function is designed to prevent refrigerator malfunctioning that could occur if a refrigerator door or freezer drawer remains open. If a refrigerator door or freezer drawer is left open for more than 60 seconds, a warning alarm sounds at 30 second intervals.

HUMIDITY CONTROLLED CRISPERS

The Humidity Controlled Crispers are designed to help keep your fruits and vegetables fresh and crisp. You can control the amount of humidity in the crispers by adjusting the settings between Low and High.

GLIDE‘N’SERVE

Glide‘N’Serve provides storage space with a variable temperature control that keeps the compartment colder than the refrigerator. It is a convenient place to store sandwiches or meat to be cooked.

AUTO CLOSING HINGE

The refrigerator doors and freezer drawers close automatically with a slight push. (The door only closes automatically when it is open at an angle less than 30°.)

ICE PLUS

Ice production can be increased by approximately 20 percent when the freezer section is maintained at the coldest temperature for a 24-hour period.

11 INSTALLATION

Unpacking Your Refrigerator

WARNING

Use two or more people to move and install the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or walk the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

Remove tape and any temporary labels from your refrigerator before using. Please remove vinyl from doors before connecting unit to the electrical supply (on some models). Do not remove any warning type labels, the model and serial number label, or the Tech Sheet that is located under the front of the refrigerator.

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhe-

sive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,

flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage

the surface of your refrigerator.

Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping position. Please reinstall shelves according to your individual storage needs.

Choosing the Proper Location

Select a place where a water supply can be easily connected for the automatic icemaker.

NOTE

The water pressure must be between

20 and 120 psi (0,14 - 0,82 MPa) on models without a water lter and between 40 and 120 psi (0,28 - 0,82 MPa) on models with a water lter

The refrigerator should al ways be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115/127 V~ 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 A.

This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house

hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.

Flooring

To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be leveled and installed on a solidly constructed floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate for unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to the right to lower it. (See Leveling and Door Alignment.)

NOTE

Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a platform or weakly supported structure is not recommended.

INSTALLATION 12

Ambient Temperature

Install this appliance in an area where the temperature is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F (43°C). If the temperature around the appliance is too low or high, cooling ability may be adversely affected.

Measuring the Clearances

Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity consumption charges. Allow at least 24 inches (61 cm) in front of the refrigerator to open the doors, and at least 2 inches (5.08 cm) between the back of the refrigerator and the wall.

Removing/Assembling the

Refrigerator Door Handles
