procedure under Leveling.
Important: If refrigerator is to be installed into a recess
where the top of the refrigerator is completely covered,
use distance from floor to top of hinge cap to verify
proper clearance.
Transporting Your Refrigerator
• 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 before plugging it in to assure oil returns to
the compressor. Plugging the refrigerator in
immediately may cause damage to internal parts.

FoodStorageTips
Fresh Food Storage
• The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should
be kept between 340-40 ° F (1°-4 ° C) with an
optimum temperature of 37° F (3° C). To check the
temperature, place an appliance thermometer in a
glass of water and place in the center of the fresh
food compartment. Check after 24 hours. If the
temperature is above 40° F (4° C) adjust the controls
as explained on page 10.
• Avoid overcrowding the fresh food shelves. This
reduces the circulation of air around the food and
results in uneven cooling.
Fruits and Vegetables
• Storage in the crisper drawers traps humidity to help
preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer
time periods (see page 17).
• Sort fruits and vegetables before storage and use
bruised or soft items first. Discard those showing
signs of decay.
Dairy Food
For milk and cream, store in the Temperature
Controlled Beverage Chiller which is designed to
maintain a lower temperature for optimum freshness
and life.
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.
Frozen Food Storage
The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be
kept at approximately 0° F (-18 ° C). To check the
temperature, place an appliance thermometer
between the frozen packages and check after 24
hours. If the temperature is above 0° F (-18 ° C),
adjust the control as described on page 10.
• A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least
two-thirds full.
• Always wrap odorous foods such as onions and
cabbage so the odor does not transfer to other foods.
• While vegetables need a certain amount of humidity
to remain fresh, too much humidity can shorten
storage times (especially leafy vegetables). Drain
vegetables well before storing.
• Wait to wash fresh produce until right before use.
Meat and Cheese
• Storage in Wide-N-Fresh TM drawer helps preserve
quality for longer time periods.
• Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely
so leakage and contamination of other foods or
surfaces 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.
Do not try to save individual cheese slices, soft
cheese, cottage cheese, cream, sour cream or yogurt
when mold appears.
Packaging Foods for Freezing
To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration use
aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight
containers. Force as much air out of the packages 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
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 juice on the freezer door shelves. These
foods are best stored in the freezer interior where the
temperature varies less with door openings.

andCleaning
Removing Odors
from Refrigerator
1. Remove all food and turn the refrigerator off.
2. Disconnect power to the refrigerator.
3. Clean the walls, floor, ceiling of cabinet interior,
drawers, shelves and gaskets according to the
instructions on page 22.
4. 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.
5. Wash and dry all bottles, containers and jars.
Discard spoiled or expired items.
6. Wrap or store odor-causing foods in tightly sealed
containers to prevent recurring odors.
7. Reconnect power to refrigerator and return food to
refrigerator.
8. Allow the refrigerator to cool.
9. After 24 hours, check if odor has been eliminated.
Energy Saving Tips
• Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves.
Overcrowding 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 two-thirds full runs most efficiently.
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.
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to
cleaning instructions. This will assure that door seals
properly and refrigerator runs efficiently.
• Take time to organize items in refrigerator to reduce
time that door is open.
• Be sure your doors are closing securely by leveling
refrigerator according to the instructions on page 4.
• Clean condenser coils as indicated in the cleaning
instructions every three months. This will increase
energy efficiency and cooling performance.
If Odor is Still Present:
Remove drawers and place on top shelf of
refrigerator.
,
Pack fresh food and freezer sections - including
doors - with crumpled sheets of black and white
newspaper.
,
Place charcoal briquettes randomly on crumpled
newspaper in both freezer and fresh food
compartments.
/4. Close doors and let stand 2/4to/48 hours.

OpermingSounds
Improvements in refrigeration design may produce sounds in your new refrigerator that are different or were not
present in an older model. These improvements were made to create a refrigerator that is better at preserving food,
is more energy efficient, and is quieter overall. Because new refrigerators run quieter, sounds may be detected that
were present in older refrigerators, but were masked by higher sound levels. Many of these sounds are normal.
Please note that the surfaces adjacent to a refrigerator, such as hard walls, floors and cabinetry may make these
sounds seem even louder. The following are some of the normal sounds that may be noticed in a new refrigerator.
Clicking • Freezer control (A) clicks when starting or
stopping compressor.
• Defrost timer or electric damper control (select
models) (B) sounds like an electric clock and
snaps in and out of defrost cycle.
Air rushing • Condenser fan (D) makes this noise while
or whirring operating.
• Freezer fan (C) makes this noise while
operating.
• Freezer fan (C) slows to a stop as the freezer
door is opened.
Gurgling or • Evaporator (E) and heat exchanger (F)
boiling sound refrigerant make this noise when flowing.
