Installing your refrigerator

These instructions are provided to aid you in the installation of your refrigerator. Amana cannot be responsible for improper installation.

Measuring the opening

⁄2" of air space should be provided for

the top and back of the refrigerator. When installing your refrigerator, measure carefully.

Subflooring or floor coverings (i.e. carpet, tile, wood floors, rugs) may make your opening smaller than anticipated.

Some clearance may be gained by using the leveling procedure under How to

Level Your Refrigerator (page 10).

IMPORTANT: If refrigerator is to be

installed into a recess where top of refrigerator is completely covered, use dimensions from floor to top of hinge cap to verify proper clearance.

Transporting your refrigerator

Follow these tips when moving the refrigerator to final location:

➢ NEVER transport refrigerator on its

side. If an upright position is not possible, lay refrigerator on its back. Allow refrigerator to sit upright for approximately 30 minutes prior to plugging refrigerator in to assure oil return to the compressor. Plugging refrigerator in immediately may cause damage to internal parts.

➢ Use an appliance dolly when moving

refrigerator. ALWAYS truck refrigerator from its side or back–NEVER from its front.

➢ Protect outside finish of refrigerator

during transport by wrapping cabinet in blankets or inserting padding between the refrigerator and dolly.

➢ Secure refrigerator to dolly firmly with

straps or bungee cords. Thread straps through handles when possible. DO NOT overtighten. Overtightening restraints may dent or damage outside finish.

Selecting the best location

Observe these points when choosing the final location for your refrigerator:

➢ DO NOT install refrigerator near oven,

radiator or other heat source. If not possible, shield refrigerator with cabinet material.

➢ DO NOT install where temperature

falls below 55° F (13° C). Malfunction may occur at this temperature.

➢ Make sure floor is level. If floor is not

level, shim rear wheels of refrigerator with a piece of plywood or other shim material.

➢ To assure proper door closure, verify

that the refrigerator is leveled with a

⁄4"

tilt to the back.

How to remove the doors and hinges

Some installations require door removal to get refrigerator to final location. If removal of the pullout drawer is required, see later section entitled How to

Remove and Install the Pullout Drawer

(page 8).

To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, observe the following:

➢ Disconnect power to refrigerator

before removing doors. Connect power only after replacing doors.

Accessories Shelves, buckets, drawers, etc.

To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:

• Read and follow manufacturer’s directions for all cleaning products.

WARNING

How to clean your refrigerator

* Cleaner is available for order through your manufacturer. Please contact them, using the information on the front cover of your

Owner’s Manual, for further ordering information.

How to remove odors from refrigerator

➢ Remove all food.

➢ Disconnect refrigerator.

➢ Clean the following items using the

appropriate instructions in the How to Clean Your Refrigerator table.

–Walls, floor and ceiling of cabinet

interior

– Drawers, shelves and gaskets

according to the instructions in this section.

➢ Pay special attention to clean all

crevices by completing the following steps.

– Dilute mild detergent and brush

solution into crevices using a plastic bristle brush.

– Let stand for 5 minutes.

– Rinse surfaces with warm water.

Dry surfaces with a soft, clean cloth.

➢ Wash and dry all bottles, containers

and jars. Discard spoiled or expired items.

➢ Wrap or store odor-causing foods in

tightly sealed containers to prevent reoccurring odors.

➢ Connect power to refrigerator and

return food to refrigerator.

➢ After 24 hours, check if odor has been

eliminated.

If odor is still present:

➢ Remove drawers and place on top

shelf of refrigerator.

➢ Pack refrigerator and freezer sections

– including doors – with crumpled sheets of black and white newspaper.

➢ Place charcoal briquettes randomly on

crumpled newspaper in both freezer and refrigerator compartments.

➢ Close doors and let stand 24-48

hours.

Energy saving ideas

➢ When placing refrigerator into final

position, allow for

⁄2" clearance around

the top and sides of the refrigerator to supply ample ventilation for optimum energy efficiency.

➢ Avoid overcrowding refrigerator

shelves. This reduces air circulation around food and causes refrigerator to run longer.

➢ Avoid adding too much warm food to

refrigerator at one time. This overloads compartments and slows rate of cooling.

➢ Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper,

or paper toweling as shelf liners. This decreases air flow and causes refrigerator to run less efficiently.

➢ A freezer that is

⁄3 full runs most effi-

ciently.

➢ Locate refrigerator in coolest part of

room. Avoid areas of direct sunlight, or near heating ducts, registers or other heat producing appliances. If this is not possible, isolate exterior by using a section of cabinet or an added layer of insulation.

➢ Refer to Owner's Manual section on

How to Adjust the Temperature Controls (page 11) for recommended

control settings.

➢ Clean door gaskets every three

months according to Owner's Manual cleaning instructions. This will assure that door seals properly and refrigerator runs efficiently.

➢ Take time to organize items in refriger-

ator to reduce time that door is open.

➢ Be sure your doors are closing

securely by leveling refrigerator as instructed in your Owner's Manual.

➢ Clean condenser coils as indicated in

the Owner’s Manual every 3 months. This will increase energy efficiency and cooling performance.

To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:

➢ Allow light bulb to cool.

➢ Wear gloves when replacing light

bulb.

CAUTION

To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, disconnect power to refrigerator before replacing light bulb. After replacing light bulb, connect power.

WARNING

How to remove and replace light bulbs

Fresh Food Section

1. Slide shield toward back of compartment to release from light assembly.

2. Remove light bulbs.

3. Replace with appliance bulbs no

greater than 40 watts.

4. Replace light bulb cover by inserting tabs on light shield into liner holes on each side of light assembly. Slide shield toward front of refrigerator until it locks into place. DO NOT force shield beyond locking point. Doing so may damage light shield.

Freezer

1. Pinch rear tabs on light cover and pull straight down.

2. Remove light bulb.

3. Replace bulb with appliance bulb no

greater than 40 watts.

4. Insert front tabs of light cover into freezer liner and snap rear portion over light assembly until rear tabs engage.

Trouble shooting

Today’s refrigerators have new features and are more energy efficient. Foam insulation is very energy efficient and has excellent insulating capabilities, however, foam insulation is not as sound absorbent. As a result, certain sounds may be unfamiliar. In time, these sounds will become familiar. Please refer to this information before calling service.

SOLUTION

➢ Normal operation

➢ See Installation Instructions for details on how to level your

refrigerator.

➢ Normal operation

➢ Stop sound by raising ice maker arm to ‘off’ position. See

Automatic Ice Maker section in your Owner’s Manual for details.

➢ Normal operation

POSSIBLE CAUSE

➢ Freezer control (A) clicks when

starting or stopping compressor.

➢ Defrost timer (B) sounds like an

electric clock and snaps in and out of defrost cycle.

➢ Freezer fan (C) and condenser

fan (D) make this noise while operating.

➢ Evaporator (E) and heat

exchanger (F) refrigerant makes this noise when flowing.

➢ Ice cubes from ice maker (select

models) drop into ice bucket (G).

➢ Compressor (H) makes a

pulsating sound while running.

➢ Refrigerator is not level.

➢ Ice maker water valve (I)

hookup (select models) buzzes when ice maker fills with water.

➢ Ice maker (J) is in the ‘on’ posi-

tion without water connection.

➢ Compressor (H) can make a high-

pitched hum while operating.

➢ Defrost heater (K) hisses, sizzles

or pops when operational.
