Door and Hinge Removal

• 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) or rises above 110° F (43° C). Malfunction

may occur at this temperature.

• Refrigerator is designed for indoor household

application only.

Measuring the Opening

When installing your refrigerator, allow '/2"space at top

and '/;' space behind machine compartment cover

(located in the rear) for proper air circulation. 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. 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 Leveling.

Some installations require door removal to get refrigerator to final location.

Important: If refrigerator is to be installed into a recess where the top of the refrigerator is completely

covered, use dimensions from floor to top of hinge cap

to verify proper clearance.

Transporting Your Refrigerator

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 thoroughly before replacing it.

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

malfunction.

• Turn OFF (arm up) the ice maker when the water supply is to be shut off for several hours.

To Remove the Ice Bin:

• Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoid the ice maker dumping ice while the bin is removed, turn

the ice maker OFF by raising the sensor arm.

To Install the Ice Bin:

• After freezer section reaches between 0° to 2° F (-18 ° to -17 ° C), ice maker fills with water and

begins operating. You will have a complete harvest of ice approximately every three hours.

• Allow approximately 3-6 hours after installation to receive first harvest of ice.

• Discard ice created within first 12 hours of operation

to verify system is flushed of impurities.

• Stop ice production by raising ice maker arm until click is heard.

• Ice maker will remain in the OFF position until arm is pushed down.

• The first one or two batches will probably contain undersized and irregular cubes because of air in the supply line.

• 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 sensor arm, shutting the ice maker off.

• Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker ON by lowering the sensor arm.

• Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of the ice maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the

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 refrigerator. Check after 24 hours. If the temperature is above 40° F (4° C) adjust the controls as explained on pages 8 and 9.

• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator 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 pages 12 and 13).

• 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 cabbage so the odor does not transfer to other foods.

Frozen Food Storage

• The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be kept at approximately 0° F (-17 ° C). To check the

temperature, place an appliance thermometer

between the frozen packages and check after 2/4 hours. If the temperature is above 0° F (-17 ° C), adjust

the control as described on pages 8 and 9.

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

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

• 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

• 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. De net 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 juice on the freezer door shelves. These foods are best stored in the freezer interior where the

temperature varies less with door openings.

Refer to the Food Storage Chart on pages 23 and 24 for approximate storage times.

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 (see page 25).

4. Dilute mild detergent and brush solution into crevices using a plastic bristle brush. Let stand for

five 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 reoccurring odors.

7. Reconnect power to refrigerator and return food to refrigerator.

Energy Saving Tips

• 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 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 as instructed in your installation

instructions.

8. Allow the refrigerator to cool.

9. After 24 hours, check if odor has been eliminated.

If odor is still present:

1. Remove drawers and place on top shelf of refrigerator.

2. Pack refrigerator and freezer sections - including doors - with crumpled sheets of black and white

newspaper.

3. Place charcoal briquettes randomly on crumpled newspaper in both freezer and refrigerator compartments.

4. Close doors and let stand 24 to 48 hours.

• Clean condenser coils as indicated in the cleaning instructions every three months. This will increase

energy efficiency and cooling performance.

For dispenser models, run water through the dispenser for at least three minutes with the filter bypass in place, then install water filter (see page 19).

After installing the water filter, run water through the

dispenser continuously for at least two minutes, or until water runs steady. Initially you may notice a

one to two minute delay in water dispersal as the internal tanks fills.

• Restart the ice maker.

• Discard ice produced within the first 12 hours (at

least the first three harvests).

3. If your refrigerator has a dispenser system with water filter, remove the water filter cartridge and install the filter bypass. Dispose of the used

cartridge.

4. Turn the Freezer control to OFF.

5. Unplug the refrigerator.

6. Thoroughly clean the interior of both compartments with a baking soda solution and a clean, soft cloth

(four tablespoons of baking soda in one quart of

warm water.).

7. Dry thoroughly.

8. Leave the doors open to prevent the formation of mold and mildew.

Preparing to Move

• Follow the instructions for long vacations/absences, through step 7.

• Secure all loose items such as shelves and drawers

by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.

• Tape the doors shut.

• Use an appliance dolly when moving the refrigerator. ALWAYS truck the refrigerator from its side or back-

NEVER from its front.

• Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position

during moving.

OperatingSounds

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 units run quieter, sounds may be detected that were present in older units, 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.
