in_p@r_ant: Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned

refrigerators are stil! dangerous.., even if they will
sit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid of
your old refrigerator,
please follow the /

instructions below to
help prevent acci-

dents.

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves
in place so that

children may not
easily climb inside.

GROUNDING TYPE

WALL RECEPTACLE

1

Your new refrigerator was packed carefully for ship-
ment. Remove and discard shelf packing clips (if used)

located just above each shelf where they hook onto the
frame. To remove plastic clips wiggle the clips sideways

and pull straight out.

Locado

Allow for a free flow of air through the front base

grille.
Install the refrigerator where the room temperature

will not go below 55 ° E With temperatures below 55 °,
the refrigerator wi!l not run frequently enough to
maintain proper temperature in the freezer.

Allow a minimum 1/2" clearance on the sides, top

and back for ease of installaron. If the refrigerator is
placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you
may want to allow additional space so the door can be

opened wider.

Use caution when installing the unit on vinyl or hard-

wood floors so as not to mark or otherwise damage

the flooring. A piece of plywood, a rug or other mate-

rial should be used to protect the floor while posi-

tioning the unit.

LeveJ r g

To enhance appearance and to maintain optimal perfor-
mance, the refrigerator must be level. Your refrigerator
has wheels which can be adjusted for leveling:

Remove the lower hinge covers (see fig. 1). To do
this, grasp each cover near the hinge and apply pres-
sure. The attachment tabs will snap out, allowing

removal of the covers.

• Adjust the wheels with a screwdriver (see fig. 2).
° To lock the cabinet in place, turn down both leveling/lock

feet, located near the front wheels (see fig 3).

• Replace the hinge covers.

• If the floor is not level and it is necessary to raise the
rear of the cabinet, we suggest rolling the rear wheels

onto a piece of plywood or other shim material.

Eneygy Saving Tips

Locate the refrigerator away from heat producing

appliances such as the range or dishwasher, heat vents
and direct sunlight.

Level the refrigerator and do not block ventilation
around the front grille.

Keep the freezer full to near capacity so less cold air
will escape during door openings. When the freezer is

less than two-thirds full, place milk cartons half full
of water in the freezer.

o Let hot dishes cool slightly before putting into the

refrigerator or freezer.

• Cover liquids.
° Wipe moisture from the outside of containers before

placing them into the refrigerator.

• Avoid opening the doors too often.

At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet may be
warm to the touch. This is a normal occurrence that

helps prevent moisture from condensing on the cabinet.
The condition will be more noticeable when you first

start the refrigerator, during hot weather and after exces-
sive or lengthy door openings.

Your refrigerator is designed to defrost automatically.

Note: During the automatic defrost cycle, you may

notice a red gh)wh'eflection in the venls on the back

wall of tile freezer compartment and you may hear the

sound of water droplels coming into contact with the
defrost heater_._' This is nornial during the defrosl
cycle

24 hours after adding food, you may decide that one
or both compartments should be colder or warmer. If

so, adjust the control(s) as indicated in the table above.
Except when starting the refrigerator, do not change

either control more than one number at a time.

Allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize before

resetting.

Changing either control will have some effect on the

temperature of the other compartment.

supply piping.

When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for several
cubes to be joined together at the ends. They can easily
be broken apart. The ice maker will continue to make ice
until the supply of ice cubes raises the wire lever ann,

shutting the ice maker off.
To manually stop the operation of the ice maker, move

the wire lever arm into the up (off) position.
Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of the

ice maker.

• buzzing of the water valve

• running of the water as the tray fills

• rattling of the ice cubes falling into an empty ice bin.
If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will become

cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste stale. Empty the
ice storage bin periodically and wash it in lukewarm
water. Be sure to dry the bin before replacing it.

To check the ice level or gain access to the ice bin, lift
open the door on the ice bin.

To remove the bin, first turn off the ice maker. This is
done by opening the door on the ice bin and moving the

ice maker wire lever up to the "off" position. Then reach
under the bin front and pull down on the back edge. After
it snaps free, pull the bin straight forward. To replace the
ice bin, align the bottom rails to the corresponding shelf
grooves and push it straight back until it stops and

latches. Make sure the tabs at the back of the bin that
turn the spiral auger are positioned between the prongs

from the auger motor. Turn the ice maker on by low-
ering the wire arm.

Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice
storage bin for quick chilling. These items can block the
wire lever ann, causing the ice maker to malfunction.

ice Dispensing Tips

• Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though cubed

ice was selected. This happens occasionally when a few
cubes are accidentally channeled into the crusher.

Likewise, when changing from crushed ice to cubes,
some crushed ice may be dispensed. This may also
happen if irregular sized cubes or ice chips are in the

storage bin.

Dispensing Water and Ice

To dispense ice or water, position a glass against the top
portion of the actuator pad and press. Hold the glass

high in the dispenser opening to avoid spills.
To stop dispensing, release the pressure on the actuator

pad and hold the container in position momentarily to
catch the last pieces of ice or the last drops of water.

The ice delivery door will remain open for a short time.
When it closes, a closing sound can be heard.

The control key pads are located on the dispenser con-
trol panel. To select the desired function, press the

appropriate pad. When ice cubes, crushed ice or water
are selected, a light above the selection glows.

CRUSHED CUBE WATER

® • •

• If the ice dispenser is not used frequently, ice cubes

may clump together and may need to be broken apart
or discarded.

A slight pause may be noticed when dispensing
crushed ice. This is normal because the ice is being

channeled to the crusher. Crushed ice pieces will vary
in size and shape.

Do not add ice to the storage bin which was not pro-
duced by your ice maker, it may not crush and/or dis-
pense properly.

Avoid operating the ice dispenser continuously for
more than five minutes. Remove large quantities from

the bin by hand.
Avoid dispensing ice directly into fine china or deli-

cate crystal. The pressure of pressing against the actu-
ator pad and the ice dropping into the container can
cause cracking or chipping of delicate items.

Water from the dispenser is not as cold as ice water. For

colder water, simply add ice before dispensing the
water. The first glass or two of water dispensed each

time may be wanner than subsequent glasses. A full
glass of water will be cooler than a partial glass. To pre-
vent splashing, fill the glass with ice before adding

water.

NOTE: When using the ice dispenser for the first time,

discard the first two or three dozen cubes. When using
the water dispenser for the first time, press the actuator

change the water filter. When the system detects either

12 months of usage, or the filtering of 416 gallons of
water (whichever comes first), the CHANGE FILTER
indicator light will illuminate. This indicates that the

water filter should be changed (see page 12) and the
light reset.

Note: l]_e Water Filter Change Reminder will

coun_ down 12 months if the filter bypass is in place

[ (sere page 12).

To reset the CHANGE FILTER light: Press and hold
the LIGHT and LOCK pads until the CHANGE

FILTER light blinks (approx. 3 seconds). The control is
now reset for 12 months or another 416 gallons.

Food Storage Tips ................................ ............. .°°o

Fresh Food S,orage

• The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should

be kept between 34°F and 40°F with an optimum
temperature of 37°E To check the temperature,
place an appliance thermometer in a glass of water

and place in the center of the refrigerator. Check
after 24 hours. If the temperature is above 40°F

adjust the controls as explained on page 3.

• Temperatures measured elsewhere in the refriger-
ator may vary from crisper readout temperatures

(select models) due to location of crisper thermostat.

• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This
reduces the circulation of air around the food and

results in uneven cooling.

Fruit and Vegetables

• Store in the crisper drawers to help preserve the fruit
and vegetable quality for longer time periods.

• Sort fruits and vegetables before storage and use

bruised or soft items first. Discard those showing

signs of decay.

• Always wrap odorous foods such as onions and cab-

bage so the odor does not transfer to other foods.

Frozen Food S orage

The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be
kept at 0°F or lower. To check the temperature,

place an appliance thermometer between the frozen
packages and check after 24 hours. If the tempera-
ture is above 0°F, adjust the control as described on
page 3.

• A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least
two-thirds full.

Packaging Foods for Freezing

To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration
use aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or air-

tight containers. Force as much air out of the pack-
ages as possible and be sure they are tightly sealed.
Trapped air can cause the food to dry out, change
color and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).

• Overwrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable
freezer wrap prior to freezing.

• Do not refreeze meat that has completely
thawed.

Loading the Freezer

• While vegetables need a certain amount of moisture

to remain fresh, too much moisture can shorten
storage times (especially lettuce). Drain vegetables

well before storing.

Meat and Cheese

• Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely
so leakage and contamination of other foods or sur-

faces does not occur.

• Occasionally mold will develop on the surface of
hard cheeses (Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan). Cut off at

least an inch around and below the moldy area. Keep
your knife or instrument out of the mold itself. The
remaining cheese will be safe and flavorful to eat. Do
NOT try to save individual cheese slices, soft cheese,
cottage cheese, cream, sour cream or yogurt when
mold appears.

Dairy Food

* Most dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, sour cream and

cottage cheese have freshness dates on their cartons
for appropriate length of storage. Store these foods in
the original carton and refrigerate immediately after
purchasing and 'after each use.

.Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at
one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of

freezing and can raise the temperature of frozen
foods.

Leave space between the packages so cold air can
circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as
possible.

Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream

and orange jnice on the freezer door shelves. These

foods are best stored in the freezer interior where

the temperature varies less with door openings.
