ENGLISH

WARNING

Use two or more people to move and install

y

the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in
back or other injury.

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the

y

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. Wind the
leveling feet up first so that the unit is on its
rollers.

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such

y

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. 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 adhesive 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.

Choosing the Proper Location

The refrigerator should always be

y

plugged into its own individual properly
grounded electrical outlet rated for
220 Volts, 50 Hz, 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.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
install the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.
Do not install in any outdoor or sheltered
outdoor location or direct sunlight.

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. Poorly constructed timber
flooring can cause a limit in door adjustment
and the cabinet to become out of shape. (See
Leveling and door AlIgnment.)

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

NOTE

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

CAUTION

Do not store food with high moisture content towards the top of the refrigerator. The moisture

y

could come in direct contact with the cold air and freeze.
Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator. Vegetables and fruit should be washed, and food

y

packaging should be wiped down to prevent adjacent foods from being contaminated.
If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of

y

vegetables in the refrigerator may cause condensation to form. Wipe off the condensation with a
clean cloth or a paper towel.

If the refrigerator doors are opened or closed too often, warm air may penetrate the refrigerator

y

and raise its temperature. It can also increase the refrigerator’s electricity usage.

NOTE

If you are leaving home for a short period of time, like a short vacation, the refrigerator should

y

be left on. Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will stay preserved longer if stored in the
freezer.

If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for an extended period of time, remove all food and

y

unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the doors slightly ajar to prevent mold from
growing in the refrigerator.

The Cheese & Butter and Condiment bins are not recommended for storing items that spoil

recommended to consume
fresh fish and shellfish the
same day purchased.

Cover leftovers with plastic
wrap, aluminum foil, or plastic
containers with tight lids.

Storing Frozen Food

NOTE

Check a freezer food 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 1 to 1.5kg. 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.

NOTE

Never freeze beverage cans or bottles of any
kind as they can explode or shatter.

HOW TO USE

19

Storing Frozen Food (continued)

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-fitting

y

lids
Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

y

Heavy-duty aluminum foil

y

Plastic-coated paper

y

Non-permeable plastic wraps

y

Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic

y

bags

Follow package or container instructions for
proper freezing methods.

Do not use

Bread wrappers

Adjusting the Refrigerator
Shelves

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable
to meet your individual storage needs. Your
model may have either glass or wire shelves.

Adjusting the shelves to fit different heights
of items will make finding the exact item you
want easier. Doing so will also reduce the
amount of time the refrigerator door is open
which will save energy.

Detaching the Shelf

Tilt up the front of the shelf and lift it straight
up. Pull the shelf out.

Refitting the Shelf

Tilt the front of the shelf up and guide the
shelf hooks into the slots at the desired height.
Then, lower the front of the shelf so that the
hooks drop into the slots.

ENGLISH

CAUTION

Make sure that shelves are level from
one side to the other. Failure to do so
may result in the shelf falling or spilling
food.

20

HOW TO USE

Using the Folding Shelf

ENGLISH

You can store taller items, such as containers
or bottles, by simply pushing the front half of
the shelf underneath the back half of the shelf.
Pull the front of the shelf firmly toward you to
return to a full shelf.

CAUTION

Do not clean glass shelves with

y

warm water while they are cold.
Shelves may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or
impact.

Glass shelves are heavy. Use special

y

care when removing them.

When Closing the Door

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of door scratches

y

and breaking the door centre mullion,
please make sure that the refrigerator
