THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials
*Refrigerant type is indicated in the label inside your refrigerator, this warning apply just for models with
R600a refrigerant.
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), which is combustible. When
transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating
circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is
detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is
standing for several minutes. In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the
refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount
of refrigerant used. The room must be 10.8 square feet (1 square meter) in size for every 8g of R600a refrig
erant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identifica
tion plate inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult
your dealer.

This appliance is not intended for use by children, persons with physical or mental disabilities, persons with reduced
sensory or mental capacity, or persons with lack of experience or know-how, unless they have supervision or instruction
in relation to the use of the appliance by the person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to
assure that they do not play with the appliance.
DANGER:
Children becoming trapped or suffocated is not
a problem of the past. Discarded and abandoned
refrigerators are a hazard, even if they remain there
“for just a few days”. If you would like to dispose of
your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions

below to prevent any accidents.
CFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that
uses CFC’s (chlorofluorocarbons). CFC affects the
stratospheric layer of the ozone.
If you decide to throw out your old refrigerator, ensure
that CFC contaminants are properly disposed of by a
qualified professional. If you intentionally remove the
CFC refrigerant, you could be subject to fines or prison
in accordance with environmental legislation in effect.
REQUIREMENTS FOR GROUND CONNECTION
IMPORTANT: Attentively read the following.

from the main supply of your home. (The electrical
installation must be verified by a qualified technician).
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Type 3 Type 4
It is recommended that a separate circuit
be used for this appliance, as well as a receptacle that
cannot be disconnected with a switch.
Do not use an extension cable. It is your responsibility
and obligation to replace two-prong outlets with that of
an adequately grounded three-prong outlet.
Do not, under any circumstance, cut or extract the third
prong from the plug.
NOTE: Before installation, cleaning or replacing light

REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION
LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT
Leveling
After installing, plug the refrigerator’s power cord into
a 3-prong grounded outlet and push the refrigerator
into the final position.
Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs—one on
the right and one on the left. Adjust the legs to alter
the tilt from frontto-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator seems unsteady, or you want the doors to close
more easily, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the
instructions below:
NOTE: Tools Required: 11/16 in (18 mm) wrench or flat
blade screwdriver.
1. Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of
the refrigerator or to the right to lower it. It may take
several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the
refrigerator.
Door Alignment
If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the
instructions below to align the doors:
1. With one hand, lift up the door that you would like to
raise at the middle hinge.
2. With your 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 the refrigerator in the
Use & Care Guide packet.)
NOTE: Having someone push backward against the
top of the refrigerator takes some weight off of the
leveling legs. This makes it easier to adjust the legs.
2. Open both doors again and check to make sure that
they close easily. If the doors do not close easily, tilt the
refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both
leveling legs to the left. It may take several more turns,
and you should turn both leveling legs the same
amount.
NOTE: Your refrigerator is uniquely designed with two
fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or closed
independently of the other. You may have to exert
slight pressure on the doors to get them to close
completely.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
SETTING THE CONTROLS
AIRFLOW
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 flow 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.
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 airflow and
may cause the refrigerator temperature to become too
warm or cause interior moisture buildup. (See air flow
diagram below.)
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 firm. 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.
Dispenser
Some dripping may occur after dispensing water. Hold
your cup beneath the dispenser for a few seconds after
dispensing to catch all of the drops.
NOTE: The dispenser will not work if any door is left open
or if the control lock is engaged.
Express Freeze
When you press the Express Freeze button, the Express

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER *on some models
The icemaker will produce approximately 70-210 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 6-8 (12-16
oz) glasses of ice.
To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker
switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic icemaker,
set the switch to ON (I).
The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi
on models without a water filter and
between 40 and 120 psi
with a water filter to produce the normal amount and
size of ice cubes.
Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor
can interrupt ice production. Make sure the sensor area
is clean at all times for proper operation.

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 ( 1 to 1,5 kg of food per each 30
liters ) 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
stals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply
cry
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.
Leafy
