INSTALLING YOUR

REFRIGERATOR

Unpacking Y our Refrigerator

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 attached to back wall 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. For more information, see Important Safety Instructions in the Refrigerator Safety section.

Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping position.

Please reinstall shelves according to your individual storage needs.

Installation

1. Avoid placing the unit near heat sources,

direct sunlight, or moisture.

2. To avoid vibration, the unit must be level. If required, adjust the leveling screws to compensate for unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling screws can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling screws clockwise ( ) to raise the unit, counterclockwise ( ) to lower it.

3. Install this appliance between 55 °F (13 °C) and 110 °F (43 °C.) If the temperature around the appliance is too low or high, cooling ability may lessen.

1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe

off all dust accumulated during shipping.

2. Install accessories such as ice cube bin, drawers, shelves, etc., in their proper places. They are packed together to prevent possible damage during shipment.

3. Let your refrigerator run for 2 or 3 hours before putting food in it. Check the flow of cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling. Your refrigerator is now ready for use.

Electrical Requirements

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection:

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.

OPERATION

Starting

When your refrigerator is first installed, allow to run 2-3 hours to stabilize at normal operating temperature prior to filling it with fresh or frozen foods.

If operation is interrupted, wait 5 minutes before restarting.

T emperature Control

❒ REFRIGERATOR

■ Your refrigerator has two controls that let you

regulate the temperature in the freezer and refrigerator compartments.

■ Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL

at 5 and the FREEZER CONTROL at 2. Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature according to your desire.

■ REFRIGERATOR CONTROL - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

6, 7, 8 The higher the number setting, the colder the refrigerator compartment will become.

■ To turn the refrigerator off, turn the dial to the

right to the word “off”.

❒ FREEZER

■ FREEZER CONTROL - 1, 2, 3

Setting at 3, the freezer compartment becomes colder. But the refrigerator compartment becomes warmer because less cold air flows into the refrigerator compartment.

■ In cold weather the unit operates less and

the freezer compartment has a tendency to warm up. For a colder freezer, turn the FREEZER CONTROL to 3.

■ If you put a lot of food in the freezer or open

its door frequently, its temperature is apt to be somewhat higher. In this case, set the FREEZER CONTROL dial at 3 to cool it. Return the FREEZER CONTROL dial to the original position to cut down the consumption of energy.

■ In hot weather or if a lot of food is put in

the refrigerator compartment, the refrigerator compartment has a tendency to warm up. For a colder refrigerator, turn the FREEZER CONTROL to 1 to direct more cold air into the refrigerator compartment, and the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL to 6~8. If the FREEZER CONTROL is set at 3, the refrigerator compartment will not be cold enough.
